Today was the perfect spring day. This morning we went to the Westview Presbyterian Spring Sale. The sale was filled with a wonderful assortment of items at rock bottom prices. I mainly bought books for the classroom (see below), but I also bought two sets of vintage Italian postcard books, some vintage cookbooks, and an old plant stand that even came with matching pots in a charming shade of Grandma's mint green kitchen. The man charged me $1 for the plant stand, but I gave him $2 out of guilt.

(Below) Some of the books I purchased at the rummage sale and a nearby yard sale. I bought at least 20 books and spent not much more than $6. Books included everything from Harry Potter books to science and art books.

(Below) My big score. I found three beautiful classic adventure stories (hardcover), and three current books that the kids will gobble up. I know Kenneth Oppel's Firewing will go down well in our class.
