This Week's Update

It was another stinking hot week here and I can't wait for Autumn to arrive. I walked up to the Salvo's on one slightly cooler morning.
I found a great white  ironstone tureen and a couple of recipe books
 
 
 
 
 
Mr Postman didn't let the heat stop him from delivering a couple of goodies I found from scouring the world for rockbottom priced books for my Victorian red binding book display

  13. Wow, your books are so gorgeous! I totally love the look! You are lucky to be entering fall. I'm not at all looking forward to summer. I'm definitely a cold weather girl! Hope you're having a nice weekend. I'm hosting my Homemaking Linkup Weekend and would love to have you join, if you'd like!

    Have a great day!
