Weekend Window Shopping at Birdhouse Books

Hi vintage friends!

I went a little crazy listing some retro goodies at auction last week.  As a result, I now have a record (for me!) 156 auctions running right now on eBay.   I hope you'll stop by and peek at them: 

Birdhouse Books on eBay

You'll find some unique items, including:

Cookbooks, like Savannah a la Carte and It's Dessert Time (a 1952 Jello cookbook):



Nonfiction, like Sojourn in Savannah (guide book with map) and Make a Merry Christmas (a 1970's vintage holiday crafts book from Current):




Unopened craft kits, like this project to embroider a Christmas angel ornament (Leisure Arts):




Vintage travel brochures, like the Fernbank Science Center (Atlanta) and Parrot Jungle (Miami):





Roadside Americana travel postcards - amusement parks, motels, restaurants, and more!    Pictured here:  Children's Fairyland (a story book land in Oakland, California) and the Imperial Motel (Daytona Beach, Florida).





I hope you enjoyed this peek into my shop.  I'll be back next week with more -- Halloween cards coming soon!
