I was the kid you never saw without a book in her hands. I am so excited when someone makes a great find! I read all the ND books as a child and can't wait for GD to be old enough for them. I have the Bobsy Twins books to read to her first. She is a bit rough and tumble so I may need to find some Hardy Boys books!

Nancy that would be awesome, My daughter is the one who loves them still, she just turned 21, I remember them from when I was young and she just relates to nancy I guess, but it was exciting. Mari-lyn I am so jealous of all those sewing patterns you came across, I miss the flea markets from back home, this area doesn't really have them like that so this is the next best thing. my own treasure hunt for sure |

That is so cool we actually got all of our Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys out of the garbage can you imagine throwing away a complete set of book Crazy people but I am glad they did because their junk was our treasure. We also made a super find at the salvation army 58 unused sewing patterns for 10 bucks.
Always be on the look out you never know what you will find.

Thrift stores are great. I didn't know Nancy Drew was collectable. If I see any CJ I will get them for you.

NANCY DREW was my thing! I've been able to get about 4, but I paid "antigue store" prices for them!
What a SAH-WEET deal!

It really doesn't get much better than that. My daughter collects Bobsy Twins books and sometimes you just feel like the reading fairies are smilin' on you. Great deal! Of course, she won't be doing anything this summer but reading. Wish I could join her..even for just a few books. Joey
