Having a rummage through two million second-hand and vintage books, CD's and Magazines at the Lifeline Bookfest at the Brisbane Convention Centre was how we spent our public holiday today.
For the international readers Lifeline is a charity organisation and hold Bookfests twice a year.
We also enjoyed the laments of a comical announcer...
These books are my favourite finds and I can't wait until I can curl up in a chair and read to my hearts content!
For those living in Brisbane it is on again tomorrow. Usually quite a good day to go as most books are reduced to half price! A book lover's paradise.

Great finds Pam! Love the French book for children and the garden styles for Qld. You'll have to share if you learn anything new. x
Lucky you.... how come you were able to be so restrained, or are there more goodies you are keeping to yourself?
Hello Maggie, A girl can only carry so much and these books were sooo heavy! Most people fill up suitcases but I don't need that many. In fact I will have to give some others back to Lifeline to make space for these beauties! Have a great week.

Hi. Welcome to blogland. No need to thank me... I'm loving being part of the bloggie community. One of these days I might even feel confident enough to use my REAL name!! :)
Love your designs by the way!
Hi Pam, nothing beats a good rummage on a holiday, cheers Katherine
Oh I love the last read. Thrifty Woman's Handbook, that's right up my street!!
Looks like you had a great time treasure hunting all the while giving to charity and recycling, there's nothing like it, sigh!
:-)
You did well! I got a Tricia Guild book too that I forgot to mention when I met you today. Thanks for the goodies. See you soon. x
