Thrifted Monday & a lovely surprise (edited to add: Vintage Illustration Week too)

I had an exciting afternoon today. I was on my way home from a work meeting and even though I was rushing to pick Charlotte up as I passed the Vinnies at Rozelle there was a parking spot right outside. It seemed to good an opportunity to pass up so I thought a quick 5 min look wouldn't hurt. So straight in to the tablecloths ,sheets etc but nothing good there, then to the crockery again nothing, then a quick dash to the children's books. They were all over the place with books in front of others but I glanced down to the bottom shelf and saw the word Debbie on an older looking hard cover. I pulled it out and lo and behold it was Debbie Learns to Cook by Gilbert Delahaye & Marcel Marlier. What a find it is in pristine condition and was only $1 I couldn't get to the counter quick enough.



Then I got home there was a lovely package from Adds including some lovely Michael Miller fabric, some ric rac, some books and some magnetic snaps she got very cheaply from Textile Traders for me, thanks Adds.

Oh Yes, I approve Cass! That Debbie one is one of my faves and I still have my copy from when I was younger. Mine isnt pristine though, far from it. Lucky you getting it for $1!!!
