Score at the Lifeline Book Fair

I blame Chelle completely.  She dropped by our place today showing me her incredible pile of books from the Lifeline Autumn Book Fair, including a book I've been after for A1 for ages- Emily of New Moon by L.M. Montgomery- one of my childhood favourites.  I know you can buy it new, but both Sister 2 and I are a bit snobby about book covers sometimes... and this time is one of them.  Anyway, Chelle said she saw a few copies of it there- I had a little over an hour left till school pickup- so A2 and I jumped in the car and off we zoomed.

This is all I was supposed to leave with.

This is what I actually left with.  I think that only having an hour there, with a massive thunderstorm gathering (of course, it was almost 3pm) was a good thing for our groaning bookshelves.  I only had time to look at one section of children's books.  I am particularly pleased with this book which is one I have wanted for the girls for a while.

For the benefit of Sister 4, the fabric the books are photographed on (by A1 with her iPod) is the fabric I chose for pillowcases.  Hope she likes it!
