My Weaknesses

There are certain things I simply can't pass up in life.....

The Talboits Outlet in Springfield, VA.... shoe shopping at any shoe store and BOOKS !!!! Boy do I love books. I love it even more when book warehouses have their end of the year clearance sale !

About 2 months ago, I attended a bookfair at an Elementary School where my closest friends youngest child attends kindergarten. She told me it wasn't a "Scholastic Fair" and I needed to see the quality of these books. I went and spent over $100 on books that I didn't know I needed. The company was called BOOKWORM PLANTATION.

For the longest time, I kept meaning to look it up on the internet since I knew it was a Northern VA company; however didn't get around to it until this past week. While exploring their website I found out that they were having their "end of the year clearance sale" where books would be discounted up to 70 % in June. Bad news - I would of left N.VA for Camp Emerson when the sale begun. I got up my courage, called them, spoke with the MOST DELIGHTFUL person Midge and they invited me to come down early.

Yesterday, Amanda (my Talboits, shoe shopping, book shopping best friend) and I went with our kids down there ! It was absolutely AMAZING !!!! We spent a lot more than either of us intended to - but got GREAT QUALITY books and educational games ! The staff was more than welcoming ! Shayna was delighted with even more new books. Amanda's kids were thrilled. All three children were found sitting in a corner reading page after page.

Ironically, we both (Amanda and I) totally overspent what we thought we would BUT we spent within 5 cents of each other. Don't ask me how we do this !

Bookworm Plantation is opening its doors for its annual clearance sale - GO TO IT !!! It runs June 12 - June 23 in Manassas, VA from 8 am - 3 pm Monday - Friday.
