Vintage books and beautiful bias binding!

I went to a local booksale on Saturday, it's held every month in a church hall. All the books are 30p each and there are thousands, so book addict heaven! I did get slightly carried away as I haven't been for 2 months! Here's a few that I picked up:

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!
