Thursday

 Yikes, it's already Thursday! This week is flying by. Actually, the whole month is flying by!

I went for my walk this morning. It was a lot colder. My walking friend is back from her broken foot. Unfortunately, the day after she got the all-clear for her foot she fell and broke her hand! Definitely more than a little accident-prone. Obviously, she is able to go for walks. The only problem she has is keeping her hand warm as she has to constantly wear quite a cumbersome hand splint. 

After my walk I stopped at The Dollar Tree to pick up a couple of items. I wanted some different highlighters to use when working on my cross stitch as the ones I have are old and yellow and difficult to see what squares I have crossed off. After that I stopped by the charity/thrift shop. They have been having quite a few craft items in. Nothing new there. I checked by the books - nope, I really don't need more - but I was so excited to find a couple of bird books. 

This one was a paperback book















There are lots of lovely photos and descriptions. It was .50 cents!

The second book is an absolute treasure. I was so excited to find it! It is all gorgeous pictures of birds and animals


















I thought about using them in nature journals, but I'm not sure I can take the book apart. 

This book was a dollar. I snatched it up really quickly!

Once home I got my Thursday housework done and I managed to sort out the lighthouses I have left from Jane's house. I condensed them all and started listing a few more. I can't believe how few are left. I have decided to only keep a couple. I have nowhere to put them. I would also rather keep a few of the postcards from older times. They are certainly a lot smaller to store!

It's been icy outside this afternoon and evening. When I last went outside there was a layer of ice on the ground and the car. I'm hoping I'll be able to go for a walk tomorrow. I don't have to go anywhere else so it shall be a walk and home.

  3. Those books are gorgeous. What an amazing find! If you are taking the books apart, you should perhaps frame those pics.
