there is a quaint little street in Gib that i like to frequent called Irish Town which runs parallel to the popular Main Street
here you can find a quaint little shop with a magical green door named Terry's
it is one of my favorite places here in Gib. do you know why?
because it is a portal to another world (or worlds)! it is crammed full of second hand books! each book a door to a different dimension :)
this is my current favorite book. it is priced at £7.50 which is less than one-half its original price!
they also sell all kinds of paint, art and paper supplies as well as balloons and party decor
they have framing services and sell all the essentials to cake decorating :)
Terry's has a very friendly, homely vibe. it is manned by 2 sweet ladies who always call me "darling" or "sweetie" or "love". Terry is the sweet gentleman who handles all the framing services and he is always either whistling a happy tune or laughing over some silly joke :) a trip to Terry's is always a must whenever i go to Irish Town :)
here i can get happily lost :) i can also find anything my little heart desires :) from current magazines to vintage sewing patterns to the principles of yoga to historical romances to rude bar jokes to how to build a dam to conquering trigonometry to the full collection of Paulo Coelho's best-selling books and so much more!
they have school books, art books, travel guides to any destination in the world and of course, all kinds of cook books!
Looks and sounds like some place I would frequent all of the time. I can almost smell the old books! So warm!
ReplyDeleteu are so right wendy :) Terry's is so warm inside and you can stay there the whole day too :)

She remarks about seeing Gibraltar It's called Betsy and the Great World by Maud Hart Lovelace. It made me always wanted to visit. Your blog has helped me really see it.
