Yesterday was a busy day...covering classes in Belfast Metropolitan College, then a walk to The Beat Carnival via town. The shutters were already coming down at Oxfam Books, Rosemary Street, Belfast when I limbo'ed under.
...and a 5 disc box set of Billy Wilder....oh my!!!
There are still plenty of gems in Rosemary Street and throughout all charity shops and 2nd hand book stores. I'm gathering together quite a library of reference books for a fraction of what they would cost.
A very small picture of Oxfam Books, Rosemary Street, Belfast...Its beside the store 'Fresh Garbage'.
A very kind lady had donated her collection of sewing books and I had arrived in time for the gems.
I left with change of £20, and got:
- Colette Sewing handbook with 5 paper patterns intact... I have just subscribed to her blog via finding this book!
- Stitchopedia
- The Batsford book of sewing from 1970...absolute classic! - now out of print.
- Fashion in Underwear - now out of print.
- Needlefelting
...and a 5 disc box set of Billy Wilder....oh my!!!

Happy reading!!
