collecting goods: books

i have been having some fun recently collecting these books.

they are condensed reader's digest books.

i really love all the different colors.

and the patterned paper on the covers.

i only buy the ones with cute patterns and good colors.

i have been finding them for $.25-$2.00 each.

at garage sales, thrift stores and antique malls.

right now they live in our guest room.

i think my mom might have actually read one the last time she was here.

i love that.

i will probably never read one.

but i love looking at the colors.


it's fun to have something to search for that is inexpensive.

have a great thursday!

  3. Found you from Nester's linky party & I love the look of these books! Best part, I am fairly certain that my parents have a stack of these somewhere in their house...I'm definitely looking the next time I am there. Thanks for the great inspiration!
