Our 2015 Used Book Sale

by | Jun 16, 2015 | Book Sale | 45 comments

UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who purchased books and/or participated in this year’s link up! I’m no longer accepting orders for any of our remaining books below, since I won’t have the opportunity to get back to the post office anytime soon. God bless! 

It’s time for the 5th Annual Curriculum Sale Blog Hop! You can find all the details, browse books for sale on other blogs, or add a link to your own post here.

I didn’t have enough time to sort through all our bookshelves over the weekend, but I do have a few boxes of books to sell this summer and I pulled a few more off the shelves after we got home from golf camp this afternoon.

If you are interested in purchasing any of the items in this post, please leave a comment listing the books you would like, along with your email address. (The email address box is part of the comment form here at Shower of Roses and it won’t be displayed publicly.) I will send you a private email with your total, including shipping, along with my Paypal address.

To keep it as simple as possible, I have decided to once again charge a flat rate to help cover the cost of packaging, postage, and any Paypal fees. This year it will be $5 for 1-3 items and $7.00 for 4+ items. 

Please only request items that you intend to purchase and are able to submit payment for promptly. I’ve disabled comment moderation for a few days so that the comments/requests will show up immediately. I will also update the post as quickly as possible with “sales pending.”

Thank you!

    Hi Stacie, I have a sale pending on the Catholic Geography Set, but if for some reason that falls through you are next in line. I do have the Linnea Book if you are still interested.

    The Universe In My Hands is in very good condition, with some shelf wear to the cover. It also has a couple little removed page tabs sticking out of it, which you can see in the picture, but I can remove those. Let me know if you'd like me to pull that one aside for you too. Thanks!

    Sounds good. I'll got The Universe in my Hands, Linnea in Monet's Garden, and Peter and Lotta's Christmas pulled aside for you. Don't worry about sending payment until we know for sure on the geography bee. I'll let you know when that sale is either finalized or falls through and you can send payment then. Thank you!

    Hi.

    What grades are the Institute for Excellence in Writing (Teaching Structure and Style) for? I am looking for early grade instruction – 2nd, 3rd or so. Thank you. Dianne

    Reply
  36. Jessica Gordon

    Hi Dianne, Teaching Structure and Style is intended for grades 3-12. The Syllabus and Seminar Workbooks I am selling are actually for the parent, not the student, and go along with the ten-hour seminar teaching the parent HOW to teach the student. You would need access to that DVD set (buy it used or borrow it from a friend, etc) to be able to use this syllabus. I recently upgraded my set of DVDs to the new second edition which is why I no longer need the teacher workbooks listed in this post. I'm still trying to decide whether I will use Student Writing Intensive A or one of the themed-based writing programs for Level A (grades 3-5) for my rising 3rd grader.

    Reply
  37. Dianne

    Thank you, Jessica.

    I will hold off on buying since I have a 2nd grader and may need the entire set, including DVDs, to have all I need for 3rd grade.

    Thank you for clarifying the materials you are selling. All the best to you as you prepare this summer.

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.
