I was a t the thrift a few days ago and found a Louisa May Alcott book, that I have never heard of. Also a few kitties to match one I had.
I will probably be going back to the thrift today or tomorrow, have a few things in mind that I have been looking for. Everyday new stuff comes in so you never know what might be there.

I went to find a dish draining rack (after being inspired by the MJF mag this month) and the thrift store had one for a whopping 99 cents! I also nabbed an iron/ironing board rack for 59 cents and the clerk gave me a free book...plus I get 20 percent off because I have my 'discount bag'. Woohoo for thrift stores!

Oh, nevermind. I just went to your blog. LOL! Now I'm curious what the story line is!

Nancy, which book by Louisa May Alcott did you find? She authored many, and I'm curious. Everyone knows of Little Women, which was turned into a great movie like Rosemary said.

Nancy, that book was made into a movie a few years ago, with Meredith Baxter and Tom Conti. |

ive not heard of that book either-great find!
we went to my favorite thrift store yesterday-i bought a skirt for work and two books from the "crafts" section-not the books section-surprisingly they have and "antique books" area- but these were in the crafts area-
one is a 16 page B&W Workbasket-printed in Dec 1947---sold for $1.50 a year!!!!! i bought it for 50 cents cuz i HAD to....
the other is copyright 1915...its a Royal Society Tatting and Crochet Lessons-price 10 cents ( i paid 50 cents) ...48 pages...wonderful instructions,pictures etc-all B & W...Royal Society was a "cordichet" crochet thread company i guess....so- they go on my shelf along with my button tin, The Apron Book and MJ's Stitching Room!
