Awesome Bag-of-Books Sale
By Lynn, on May 15th, 2007
One of our local thrift stores had a bag book sale today. All you could get in a paper grocery bag for 3 dollars. You could get up to two bags. I found enough books to fill up two bags, of course.
I don’t know of any homeschooling moms who don’t just love books, so I am sure you can understand my absolute giddy excitement over this kind of sale.
I just wanted to brag about share what I found. ~:-D
I spread the books out on the floor. There are so many, they would not easily fit into one picture.
You may want to see if any of your local thrift stores have a calendar of events. One of ours has a book sale twice a month. It is scheduled each month so you know what days to go in. I feel so very fortunate to be able to take advantage of this for our homeschool. I could never afford to buy these new.

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool. The Players

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884
