Anne of Green Gables

Most people have a  favorite book or two from childhood.

Anne of Green Gables  by L.M. Montgomery stole my heart.

As a matter of fact, there's a whole series of Anne of Green Gables books.

Who wouldn't love the spunky little redhead who yearned for a home and family of her own?

Her gregarious personality endeared readers to her throughout her childhood, teenage and college years, and right up to the time she fell in love with her soul-mate (and beyond.)

While perusing a Goodwill thrift store for Christmas treasures recently, I found the entire series of Anne of Green Gables books!  

At the front desk, I asked the clerk how much the whole series cost and she said, "Two dollars." 

Sold!

On top of that, two Anne of Green Gables VHS tapes (remember those?) were for sale for a total of 99 cents. 

We still have the mechanism to play those so I bought the tapes and will look forward to seeing them again.

These thoroughly delightful thrift store  treasures made Thanksgiving come early this year and that makes a few more things for which to be immensely grateful.

Today we are joining Thrifty Things Friday on Diann's blog, The Thrifty Groove. 
  Her co-host  is Linda at A La Carte.  Thanks for hosting, girls!
