Today I went to St. Vincent de Paul, and I think that I did very well. For just a little less than $23 I got the following:
17 mason jars (we're planting a big garden, with high hopes this year for a rich harvest!)
2 medium mixing bowls
For Richer or Poorer (VHS)
And the books. I really hit the jackpot today! It looked like someone was cleaning off the children's bookshelf, and I got there at just the right time to pick up a mess of classics that will be very useful in a few years. I'm feeling very blessed, particularly since this is not the first time that I've hit the jackpot, although I think this may be the best book jackpot to date.

There was also a lovely dollhouse that was only $5, and had I had a little girl, she would probably have a dollhouse this evening. Now the thing I need to do is figure out where I'm going to put those jars until I've got something to put in them.

I just recently discovered a Paddington book, and it is a very good read. Also, my parents dropped of a dollhouse they found and my boys loved it! Granted, they were driving their cars all through it.
