Photohunt: Paper
Being in the UK this week for work, I thought it only appropriate to focus this week's theme on the UK.
First, give a guess how much money is in this photo? It's only about 65 pounds. Convert that over to US dollars, and you're looking at over 130 bucks.
Second, children's books purchased a local thrift store. All of the profits go to the Save the Children charity. I've seen a dozen different thrift stores that all support a different charity. Ones for pets, ones for breast cancer research, ones for the British Heart Association. I think it is such a great idea to have so many charities that can easily be supported through buying little trinkets and souveniours. I can't wait to read these books to my little guy.
Oh I'd love to be there with that money in my pocket in a bookstore! happy hunting...

I love the photo of the English currency. I took a similar one last November, when I was on a business trip in London! Aaah memories! :)
Happy weekend & happy hunting!

Great choices for this week's theme. I am surprised that the £ remains strong or the $ remmains weak. Most high streets will have a range of charity shops. Oxfam shops are usually the best. Happy weekend

Those are perfect photographs for the paper theme. That's great how you can buy children's books which will be enjoyed and also contribute to charity.

I love the colors and the design of the pounds. That money had a bigger forex amount here in the Philippines than the USD. It was nice of you to buy books to contribute to charity.
Thanks for sharing these photos. Have a great weekend :)
