Better late than never: Thanksgiving was a success. It's passed us by and now you can't escape the red and green and choir of Christmas hymns over the loud speakers. Happy Holidays! While I didn't engage in the madness of black Friday, I did make a trip that evening to the local Salvation Army, where I lucked out and picked up a super cheap copy of John Banville's The Sea, which I've been desiring for ages! As well as, this beautiful little ceramic-jug-turned-flower-pot.

This will likely be the last thrifty book finds for the rest of the year. Holiday shopping awaits and buying books for myself, while thrifty, must be cut out. Hope you're finding great deals for yourself and for all those loved ones!
I need to read more Willa Cather. It looks like you got a great deal!
