Some Enid Blyton to add to my collection
3 Purnell from 1971
and 3 Dean & Son 1963, 1970 and 1971
3 Beatrix Potter and 3 Ladybird
2 from 1964 that I've never heard of but I liked the pictures on the cover.
The Swiss Family Robinson, The Second Jungle Book, Little Men.
3 in cases: Emma 1953, What Katy did at School 1955 and Black Beauty, which I have yet to find the year of printing. And a really sweet Picture, Prayer and Hymn book.
With great illustrations, not very good photos though!
I also bought a few cookery, craft, fiction and modern childrens books and they had a bric a brac table but I'll have to post about that next time!
Yesterday was spent de- junking my 2 teenage daughters' bedroom. I have moaned and moaned about it for weeks but nothing was happening so I decided to help them, very stressful!! So had to finish with a bit of this ........
Bit of a rush job so it split but it tasted good and I must have used up quite a few calories doing all that cleaning, well deserved me thinks!
Now Lace Threads told us all, at the Shabby Chic cafe, about a haberdashery site http://www.robsonandmason.co.uk/ So I had a peak and saw the best bias binding ever, then I got very frustrated because the site kept crashing and I really wanted the floral binding, well luckily in the end I managed to order and it came this morning.
Isn't it lovely, now I just need a book 101 ways to use bias binding! Of course the other bits are great as well but I do love the binding!

Mr Pinkwhistle, one of my favourites from my childhood. I always enjoy these Enid Blyton posts. Those books are great prices, so many for so little money. Another favourite of mine is chocolate roulade. Love Cornwall also, I can see I am going to like your blog. x
