This is Kelli's Show and Tell Friday! I look forward to this everyweek--I may not play every week, but I do enjoy looking at everyone's Show and Tell's :o) So, please go over to Kelli's and leave your own link for something you would like to share and visit everyone there too.On Tuesday Alexis, Little Kevin and I took a walk along the main drag in San Clemente (waiting for Tony to get out of school)--it is what we call *DownTown* It is just a small strip that goes to the ocean and all along are shops galore--we stopped at the used book store and these are 3 books that I bought--they were .25 cents each. This first one was written in 1948--it is in such wonderful condition
I just loved Holly Hobbie growing up so I just had to have this book
This is what the inside page had on it--someone named Dorothy recieved this book from her secret sister---how fun, now I have it:)
This next book is so cute----I just couldn't pass it up---it is a small thick book with something special written for every day of the year:)
This is what it has for February 8th.
As always, thank you so much for taking the time to come by and visit. Happy Show and Tell Everyone!!!!

Love those old books. What a great deal you found on al lof those.
Oh, I loved that Child's Garden of Bible Stories when I was a child. I don't date way back to 1948. LOL. But, I must have been given a later edition. Mine had had the same cover art, except that I seem to remember that the children were looking toward sun rays.
I saved it and read it with my children. But, somewhere along the way, it has been lost.
Great find!
ahh!...yep, holly hobbie was "the thing" back in the day...these are sweet! i love the joan walsh anglund book.
Joan Walsh Angland is one of
my favorite artists. I've
heard of Holly Hobbie, but have
seen a book before. Thanks for sharing!
