A lifelong favorite of mine. Anne of Green Gables. What a delightful thrift shop find for me!!! The lovely treasury book is beautifully illustrated and features exquisite research and information on the books, author and Prince Edward Island.
A beautiful cover that immediately caught my eye. The illustration of the carriage makes me feel as if I'm riding right along with them.
On a second stop at the same shop I found much to my happiness all 8 Anne books!!!

Another beautiful illustration from the Treasury book. Busy hands, I agree make for a wonderful life.
Oh such kindred spirits! Time to share and enjoy with my kindred spirit friends.
Have a wonderfully, wonderful Anne kind of day.

Oh how wonderful - I have never seen this book and it is a treasure for sure!!! I am so pleased you linked to "Open House".
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that I have never read any of the Anne of Green Gables books. I have been a voracious reader all my life and have no idea why I haven't read them.
ReplyDeleteI am going to add them to my "to read" list. Right now I am reading The Secret Keeper on my Nook and loving it.
I hope you enjoy them when you read them! They are delightful!

Hi Tanya,
ReplyDeleteI have never read all the Anne of Green Gables books. Just the first, so many years ago. You have piqued my interest. Don't you love how an image has the power to place you in it's midst (carriage)! I think I will need to head to the bookstore and pick up another of the Green Gables books. By the way, I am your newest follower! I would love to have you visit me at Still Woods Farmhouse!
What a great find! The illustrations look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful book cover. I read Anne of Green Gables last year when Sandi had the Anne Tea.

I missed this most lovely post. I have the very same books given to me in the late 1980s, Love them. I have stitched a stitchery based on the Treasury cover with the Lake of Shining Waters and lots of flowers. I am a big AOGG fan. Hugs Judy
