Good buys

I better keep posting now, because school starts for teachers on Thursday, and I may never get to post again!

I went to the shops last week and got some great buys. Firstly, at Coles I found this el cheapo set of office supplies. All this for $15!



Next, from Newspower I found a beautiful diary for work.


I got some photo albums from Kmart, and filled them up with photos of Tasmania.
And this book from Angus and Robertson's. I feel guilty saying I bought it for the cover (so pretty!) but actually it has turned out to be a really good read.
A bit like Chocolat, as the girls mix magic flowers from the garden into their cooking to influence people's behaviour. Quirky and fun!


And on the subject of books, I've just read these three books.

  • P.S. I Love You: good, but the movie was better.
  • A Small Part of History: pioneers on the Oregon trail, wow, what they put up with!
  • And Midnight is a Lonely Place - a gripping thriller, but bit of an anti-climax at the end.

I've just finished this book too.



This one's really quirky! But beautiful, magical.
Now, I better go fold some washing.
