~~Yesterday we needed a bit of adventure so we wandered through the stores. The girls made a game of finding cats; cat figurines, cat books, etc. I was surprised at how many they found.
~~Then, I found the treasure! I was sorting through some books when I came across several old Little Golden Books illustrated by Eloise Wilkin. I almost squealed out loud. She's one of my favorite children's illustrators. The books were in amazing shape despite their age (one was published in 1952!) and were quite a steal in price. It really made my day.
~~Today we're off an another adventure; a little road trip with some friends to a neat children's museum. I can't believe that summer's almost over! We're trying to make the most of it.
Enjoy your day everyone!

OMG Kasie, i think i used to have that Hansel and Gretel book, or one very similar to it :)
It sounds like good fun :)
I love old Golden Books. I think I have some in our attic at home, rather my parents attic. My grandmother had a stack as well.
Congrats on your find!!! I've been feeling the need to go treasure hunting too. Maybe I'll get to do that before too much longer. Your town is a haven for treasures! I wish it was closer to me.
Little Golden Books are so cute. What a great find.
Your forgotten cookies recipe looks delicious too.

I love those old books. One of my favorites is Mr. Dog. Lucky you to have all those antique stores close by.
