  2. JACKPOT! What a haul you made. Love the photo of Phoebe! I remember these from my gradeschool years. Thanks for the wonderful memories these pictures triggered.

  3. I have such a soft spot for childrens books and the beauty they hold within their covers. You’ve definitely come up trumps with these gems!

  4. I was JUST thinking I need to find a copy of the Biggest Bear for my kids. I LOVED that book when I was young. I can still see the page with the mess he made in the kitchen, the dripping syrup! What a score!

  5. I had The Secret Three! Isn’t there a part where there is a secret code and the only way to read it was to put it up to the mirror? I loved that! Have fun – I’m jealous!
