I haven't been op-shopping for a while, but the last few times, I've managed to score some fantastic bargains!!!
When Mum was up I scored a set of camping bunks for the kids, a gorgeous wicker chair and a new bed for Xav. Then last week, as I was heading to the dentist, I pulled into an op-shop in the suburb over and couldn't believe my eyes when I stumbled upon these:
I couldn't grab them quick enough, desperate to get them off the shelf before the other (non-existant!) customers snavelled them up. I didn't care how much they were, they were coming home with me regardless. It wasn't until I got to the lovely old man at the counter that I realised they each had stickers on the front with price tags ranging from 40 cents to 50 cents - Can anyone say BARGAIN!!!!! So I paid all up $4.00 for the above books.They have taken pride of place on my bookshelf, waiting the perfect time to introduce them to the children. Grace has already chosen The Book of Fairies as the first one to read and I am just as eager to introduce her to Ms Blyton.

Hi Kirsten, That truly was a find! I collect early Enid Blytons obsessively. I wanted to ask you also, where do you buy the 'When I am feeling' books from? I saw you comment on Averil's blog. Thanks, Emma
Hi Emma!
I got the set of books from Target, but I've also seen them in coles. They are lovely books, and each on is on a different emotion. We have Kind, happy, angry, sad, scared, loved, jealous, lonely.
Thanks Kirsten! I am going to look at Coles tomorrow. Any you recommend or should I get the whole set? Thanks again! Emma
