I know some of these are on the older side, but we have been getting lots of donations for our Book Sale in and I’ve been filling in our collection. Also two kind neighbors have purchased for us lately. One person bought some lovely flower arranging books and another bought some titles from our wish list which were older books, but fill in series’ gaps or is just in high-demand. If you have any requests, please get in touch with me.
