International Book Giving Day Is Coming February 14th

International Book Giving Day is coming up on February 14th.  I think it is wonderful that this day coincides with Valentine's Day.  What better way to share love than to share a book and the love of reading?   This day is designed to promote childhood literacy and to put the gift of a book into the hands of children around the world.  The website is lovely:  just click here.   You can download a Gus Gordon designed bookplate to print, or an Anna Walker designed bookmark.

Of course, if you are shopping for children's books, I hope you'll visit Birdhouse Books.  I have a lovely collection of books for children -- mostly vintage but some new editions as well.  Birdhouse Books on eBay:  click here for nostalgic children's books.

Changes at my eBay Store

Hi vintage friends!

I've been hard at work on my eBay store, making some changes for fall and the upcoming holiday season.

When you visit, you'll see that my store now focuses on children's books, pretty vintage cards (holidays, cats, dogs), Christmas ornaments, and a small selection of vintage puzzles for children that tie in to children's books.

I have moved my cookbooks, vintage sewing patterns, and Roadside Americana items offline.   These items will be featured periodically as shorter listings (auctions and fixed price listings).

Children's books have always been the heart of my store (and they are my favorite thing to find, research, and list as well), so I am really excited about this change.

Pretty vintage cards - especially Christmas cards and Valentines - have become an exciting secondary market for me, and I will be adding more of those leading up to the holidays as well.

I hope you'll visit Birdhouse Books and check out the changes there.
