olden books



today when i picked up tashi from school she requested we visit the spca thrift store and then hang out at the neighboring cafe, shenandoah joe's.

twist my arm!

the thrifty prizes for today are three rather old books, "cooking the greek way," "gardening: a new world for children," and elizabeth and her german garden.



the elzabeth book appears to be a first edition, and has an inscription dated 1901. i couldn't resist!



the gardening book has very quirky chapter names, for instance: odd behavior garden; lilliputian gardens; pocket money garden; and party garden. it's full of sweet little drawings.



there are worse habits i suppose!
