What is this FASCINATION with acquiring more crafting books???? I stopped by a local thrift shop on the lookout for crochet, knit or crafting tools and what do I find.......an entire tote filled with about 10 years of more recent Workbasket Magazines, a few Handcrafter mags and a couple of Christmas hardback books. Like I NEED any more pattern books...NOT!!! But, those small crafting mags from the past drew me like a crochet magnet. I ended up buying the whole lot for $6.00 and could barely manage to carry them to the car. WOW, for such little pages they pack more than a crafting wallop; they are darn "weighty" as well.
It's sometimes hard to explain or even justify the need to snatch up a bargain such as this. Family, friends and especially NON-crafters simply don't get it. There are times when even "I" don't get it, but I sure do buy "it" anyway. I figure I'll "get it" later once I look through all those books and fall in love all over again with the world of creative hand crafts.
