There is a great 2nd hand bookstore here in Flagstaff that the girls and I love to visit on a weeknight when we need somthing to do. It's great because you can bring in a few things you don't want anymore and get store credit. I can always rummage up something to take so we never really pay for anything we buy. Last winter the store collapsed in a huge snowstorm; it recenly reopened in December. We're so glad it is back; here are our most recent finds.
Story-book Paper Dolls
Katy and I use to spend hours playing paperdolls. I still love to play with them! These paper dolls were printed in 1979 with a price tag of 79 cent on it; I paid $2. I love all thier 1970's outfits. I lamenated them and put a velcro sicky on each of the clothes so the girls can play with them without ripping them. We've been having lots of fun with them.
Each of the girls have thier own scene; there is Little Red Riding Hood, Little Bo Peep and Little Miss Muffet. So cute!
I made the mistake of showing this to Charlotte and of course she talked me into buying it. It is pretty cool; if I ever get it assembled. It is about 20% assembles so far. Price $2.
Here are a few books we found. The bunny one was such a find for $1. The illustraitions literally make me want to cry they are so cute (Richard Scarry of course)! We've found so many treasuses at this place; always at a resonable cost. We will miss it when (if) we leave Flagstaff.

I had a real doll that looked EXACTLY like that little Red Riding Hood. Great finds!
I wish I could go treasure hunting with you, great stuff!
I love thrift shopping-the last time I went-all I found was a teenage mutant ninja turtle action figure for Eddy-a bit overpriced at .50, but it could swivel nunchucks with the push of a button...cool
