Göteborg Bokmässa on Saturday

Saturday we drove up north to the 2nd largest city in Sweden...Göteborg! I attended the annual Scandinavian book fair! This is what it looks like inside! It's HUGE! As usual, I found lots of good stuff: books, stationery, postcards, gifts and.....
STAMPS!
After I explained to the man at the stamp collector's booth about trying to get my students interested in stamps (we collected, soaked off paper, and sorted stamps in my classroom)...he GAVE me a TON of STAMPS and loads of information to share with my kids about stamp collecting!
At another booth, I received five books with CDs to use & share with my students! It was a company my English department colleagues & I use quite regularly for our resources each year and the woman at the booth recognized my name and school ....so she threw in some freebies when I made my purchases! It's always so great to meet generous people! And my students are the winners!
