Books and Teddy Bears

In the past week I have acquired a number of books and magazines. The Golden Books were .05 and .10 cents each. Can't beat that price. They'll go in my Favourite Kids Books box.


These magazines were a quarter each. The Cottage mag. which costs 12.99 new is a very recent issue. I'm used to buying older magazines and was surprised that this one was so quickly donated.
 

          Another fine magazine and a "keeper" which is Trisha Romance's book.


         I love cute books and these two definitely qualify. The illustrations are wonderful!!


Along with my library books I should be okay for reading material for some time.

I added two more stuffed animals to my collection. The Teddy bear was originally holding a Valentine so was super cheap. Too bad his eyes are black and practically invisible. He makes a good friend for my Scottie dog, don't you think?  


                  The Winter bears have come out of hibernation.


Thanks for visiting today. Please leave a comment so I know you came by.

  1. Great deal on all the books and magazines! You are set for awhile.
    Trisha Romance us a wonderful artist. Her studio is not far from my hometown. I have visited a number of times. She uses local homes too in some of her illustrations.
    Have a good week G.M!

  7. Fantastic price for those books. You never really see them over here in the UK, but I remember my sister having them in NZ when we were little.

    Love your bears!
