I used to get up early on Saturday morning and head to Barnes and Noble. I would get a coffee at Starbucks, find a pile of books and grab a seat. I could spend hours in Half Off Books or even spend a very satisfying day at Borders. AHHHHHHHHHHH books!!!

Finn, I enjoy reading your blog so much, you have inspired me to do my own. I love scrap quilts and the orphan train quilts. I have a couple of orphan quilts I may send you pictures of. Check out my blog if you are interested. I'm just learning and it is new so keep that in mind when you look at it.

Hamilton probably uses 'book rate' for shipping which keeps $ low and can slow down arrival . . . I can be patient at such lovely prices.<BR/>I purchase Quilts of the Oregon Trail a couple of years ago at a show. It's so enjoyable to leaf through the pages and see all the wonderful quilts. How in the world did they do it all?Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17872055894285312153noreply@blogger.com
