I do have a lot of books and even though Ive tried destashing, I can only part with the odd paperback. I keep all hardcovers and I love books. TFW Linda x

I'm reading Dickens Oliver Twist (now page 326), lovely that you rescued the Dickens book. The Doyle Diary book looks most interesting with gorgeous illustrations. Thanks for sharing with us Mary! Wishing you a wonderful autumn time to come!

I know a lot of people who read many books and they can’t keep them all I guess. They thrift for the space. I’m always taking stuff to charity shops but I find it hard to part with books.

Fabulous haul, love the little doll, maybe you could try and fix her up yourself, I bet there’s a tutorial on KZfaq for it, there’s tutorials for everything 😂 Ooo fabulous little briefcase, I love that. Really fantastic books, some wonderful and interesting items, love that they’re a little bit different. Thank you so much for sharing 💖💖

I got a quote to repair her. £280.00! I paid £15 for her and in good condition she would only be worth around £30. Crazy eh?

The illustrations are amazing for someone in an asylum. Look at Louis Wain and his cat pictures that he produced in an asylum. Hope for us all x

You rescued some cool books, Mary. The have a good home now. The dress form is neat. I saw one like that decorated with greenery for Christmas. The doll is a special project. You will figure out how to fix her. I know there are internet videos. Good luck!

I could possibly restring the doll, but no idea how to replace the eyes. Repair work too costly. Shall have a rethink. Nice to see you here Mara and hope you are both ok xx
