I have a really good place to ‘HUNT’!
New Visions Marketplace is close enough to stop at whenever I am out and about…
and you never know what you will find when you shop!
There’s always something ‘new’…
or something you didn’t see when you walked through the last time!
I have a few things in mind to look for when I shop!
And one of those is Children’s books….
and most especially old school books!
These are a few in my collection!
And the old briefcase is my hubby’s…he still uses it! The pencil case is an old cedar box!
Colorado Lady has a wonderful post HERE with some of the books she found this week! And my girlfriend at Back 2Vintage has a post HERE and HERE with some wonderful school books!
They sure bring back fond memories for me! I enjoyed elementary school and loved to read…and learn!
School begins here in about a week. Did you look forward to school starting?

WOW. what a great looking shop. Nice that it is so close to you Diane. Cute books too. Have a wonderful weekend.
Looks like a special place! We have a few of those places here in Bardstown, but I seem to never find anything good! You're so lucky!
Hello Diane, yes I looked forward to school starting I remember I cried every summer when it let out LOL. When I was real young you could find me hiding out with a flashlight in my closet reading, I walked to the library in the summer and brought books home to read. When my folks would want to go to town for the day, we lived in a small town and they went to the big one to grocery shop etc. I would always throw a fit and tell them I would stay in my closet by myself LOL
Love old school primers they are great
And what a sweet little shop, I wish there were shops close enough for me to go to here.

Gasp! I wanna go. Thanks for showing it off to us.
I want to go there! No, I never looked forward to school. Either for myself or my kids. I wanted life to be one long continuous summer vacation! Twyla
Oh wow, I'd love to go there--it looks totally amazing!! This is fantastic!!

New Visions looks like a great place to shop. I wish that we had had time to visit last week went I was there! Love your children's books...I think of you every time I find one!!! Thanks for the shout-out!!!
I love vintage books, so I would love this shop! We take Shanley to college tomorrow. I am so sad! And Shelley starts eighth grade Monday.
I love browsing like this ... could spend hours doing it ... the fun of it is the hunt for something you've always wanted!
Sweet books, and you are so lucky to have a vinatge heaven so close by! :)
School is so early for you guys! We do it in September! o.o
Hugs,
what a great shop..so much to see, have a super weekend!!
I have a little thrift shop about 2 minutes from my house. I visit it at least weekly & I feel so lucky!
Hi Diane,
Yes, I actually did look forward to school starting each year. I have one of my mom's old school books that I keep out on display...I love books!!
Isn't it fun to have a thrift shop so close to home. I have 3 within about 15 minutes from where I live and I try to stop in them every chance I get.
Have a great weekend.
hugs,
Cindy
Some years I did look forward to school, others not so much, Diane. Love that little shop ... what a great coke cooler.

I would stay there for hours and hours! So many cool treasures!

I love the old books. You are so lucky to live in NC!! They are such great places like this one. We have a few, but none so great. We have a new one opening not far from the house, so I cannot wait to check it out, but will probably take a while to get geared up. I will let you know!
Wonderful!
Thanks for sharing, you make my day!

I love your old reading books...I loved school, especially reading. How schools teach reading has changed so much. I remember my fourth grade teacher taking us outside under a big tree and reading a couple chapters each afternoon, it was my favorite part of the school day.
What a wonderful shop LD, looks like you had a ball there. Enjoy your weekend.

This looks like a shop I could spend hours in. Love those basic readers.
That does look like a fun place to do some browsing and dreaming.
I was at a fun church school sale today with lots of older childrens books and only a quarter a piece. I wished I could carry more!
Wow..My husband would love that old coke cooler and I would love some of the books..I think it is a little to far to go to shop but it sure would be fun
Hello namemate! I would looooove to visit the shop too. The entrance already mesmerized me. I love the look. The antique and vintage stuff is heaven :)
Ooh...what a fabulous place to hunt!!!
School starting...say it isn't so!!
I'm a teacher and we start Monday:(
I am always sad to see summer go!
I love places like that. I can get lost in there for a long time!~Ames
I just love old books, and they do bring back such nice memories. I love that briefcase, it reminds me of my old schoolbag.
Looks like an amazing place to hunt for a good find.
Karen
Oh I want to go there. Looks my kind of place. English schools have 3 more weeks of summer. I was always ready to go back, I like routine :)
