Charity Shop Books

When I was walking past the charity book shop yesterday this book was sitting in the window and I just couldn't resist it! The lure of the bunnies got me, and that was it I just had to buy it.  It's such a sweet little book with gorgeous images all about Big Nutbrown Hare and Little Nutbrown Hare playing I Spy finishing with big hare asking little hare what his favourite thing is, which of course is little hare.....



This next craft book I've had for some time (another charity shop find) and I love it as it's full of imaginative crafts for wool and I've always wanted to make the woolly jumpers sheep.....




 so here's Dolly as hubs calls her, the first one to be made.....


I'm very tempted to do them all as they are gorgeous!


This is sitting outside my window this morning.....



brrrrrr!

  4. It is amazing what you can find in charity shops if you keep your eyes open. I love the illustrations in the first book - enchanting. And as for the second one, absolutely charming - looking forward to seeing all the lovely things as you make them.

  8. Love that book, can never resist Hares. Their ears are so wonderful and those illustrations so very sweet. Charity shops are such great places to get books cheaply. Love the sheep too, hee hee! Stay warm! Minerva x

  12. What good finds at the charity shop! The first book my daughter used to love reading. There looks some interesting projects in the craft book, the animals are fantastic. Will there be a more wintery view from your Thursday view?
