Dissolving Resolution Part II

Oh dear... I did it again! I broke another New Year's Resolution! On the same line of my yarn stash, I decided that I was not allowed to buy any more books until I had read a large majority of the ones I had.


Well today was the Queen's County Historical Society's first Book Fair of the season. This is an absolutely fantastic sale where you can find all sorts of books ranging in price for $1.00 to $50.00!


I snatched up these leather bound books from the early 1900's for just $3.00 each!


A book of poems rests on two other beautifully bound books. All for $2.00 to $3.00 each!


I love the Art Deco pattern on this one! I wish they were in colours I liked better, but hey, for $2.00!!

A small stack of more contemporary books... a very small stack! So see, I really didn't buy that many books to read, I mostly bought books that were beautiful to look at! Did I really break the resolution that much? And this time it really was for a good cause! All proceeds go toward the restoration of the Anthony Flower House in Cambridge Narrows, New Brunswick..... and 'cause I wanted to!!

Life Lessons from Books

"I think of life as a good book. The further you get into it, the more it begins to make sense." Harold Kushner

Thomas Raddall, a great Nova Scotian historian and writer is a new favourite of mine. "Matters that count in this world don't come about, they're brought about."~ Pride's Fancy

I found this copy of Anne of Green Gables in a local antique shop. Isn't it lovely and how could you resist such prose as "Marilla, isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?".
