One of my all-time favorite activities :) Just need to make sure I have at least a few hours set aside to do it — I’m doomed to frustration if I can’t look through EVERYTHING.

Ah, yes, that is hard for me, too! But I usually don't spend more than 30 minutes in there. What I find on that trip is what I find. Hurts though.

I’ve been digging PangoBooks for used books. All individuals buying and selling books. I’ve had nothing but good experiences so far!

YES to everything in this post! Thanks for sharing it ❤️

I once found a collection of Katherine Mansfield short stories with a gorgeous Leo Lionni cover at a thrift store that led me to drawing a book about her many years later. Inspiration is everywhere!

Oh my gosh, I have so much to learn at your wise, thrifty feet ;) I cannot wait to get home and visit all my local used bookstores with these fun ideas. Question: What do you think of Alibris?
