Borders-land - A dangerous place to be

I should never step foot in that place, Borders that is. I mean I just can't seem to walk in to that shop without buying something. Sometimes I'm lucky and manage to get in and out with only buying a magazine (usually Scrapbook Inspirations) but that is normally the exception to rule.

And today was no exception!

First to find their way in to my arms were, in the order I picked them off the shelves:

Suddenly I find myself picking up these three books, at which point I realise that I'm struggling not to drop books and I really should go get a basket:

               

Then I seem to go into some sort of daze, I'm obviously so blinded by being in this wondrous shop that I find things just seem to appear in my basket, and when I come to I realise that I have wandered through the magazine section and, a must, have passed through Paperchase!

And I only popped in for a coffee...
