Organizing the School Room :: A Used Book Sale #2

by | Aug 1, 2011 | Book Sale | 26 comments

As I mentioned a couple weeks ago, I will be hosting a Used Book Sale Link-up here at Shower of Roses today!! The last Used Book Sale I had really motivated me to continue sorting though our books and I have come up with the items pictured below, to pass on to other homes where they might be used a little more. The embarrassing thing is, even with all the books I’ve boxed to sell, I still have quite a few baskets of books that do not have a home, in addition to all the books that are stored in my closet! (I’m starting to think that the solution, at this point, might just be a couple new bookshelves, since we really don’t have all that many!)

If you are interested in purchasing any of the books listed, please leave a comment with your email address and I will send you your total, with shipping, along with my PayPal info. (If you’d rather not leave your email address, you can email me directly at jessica(dot)showerofroses(at)gmail(dot)com.

Shipping will be $3.50 for 1-2 items and $5.00 for 3 or more, to cover the cost of packaging and media rate in the continental U.S. If you end up ordering a lot of books, or you would like the books mailed elsewhere, I will get back to you with the actual shipping costs.

Thank you for taking a look, and be sure to check the link-up for even more online used book sales!

UPDATE 8/2:  Thank you all for your purchases!  Everything that has been purchased so far has been marked sold and packaged for shipment.   I also just went through and reduced the prices on some of the remaining items.

    I was so torn on whether or not to sell these. . . I loved this program, I just couldn’t find enough time in the day to do it consistently with all of my children. . .  Anyhow, after taking the picture I’ve decided to keep Level A & B for now.   Level C & D have never been used, though there are a few pencil marks on the Level C book.  

    Various Art Books, all in very good condition:

      These are old, out of print hardcover books from a Catholic Elementary School.  All have wear, due to their age – mainly to the corners of the cover, but the pages and binding are all in great condition:

      And, before I go, here are a few baby items I no longer use – I believe these are all the regular size.  I am 5′ 6″ and they all fit perfectly:
      *The Shipping on these items is a little more, since they can not be sent Media Mail. From my first calculation, they cost about $8.67 to ship.  I am asking $25 ppd for one of these, $40 ppd for two, or $55 ppd for all three.

      Please leave a comment, or email me directly, if you have any questions!   I’ll be checking emails on and off each morning, until about 2pm (PST), and then again after dinner.

      Prayer of Mothers

      Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

      A Little About Me

      Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
