These Kate Seredy illustrations are too charming not to share. These are from Lazy Tinka, which I'm writing up as a listing right now. I'm also sending a biographical link about Kate Seredy.

Vintage Halloween
I love Halloween. It is one of my favorite holidays, in the middle of one of my favorite seasons. Nothing evokes Halloween for me quite like great vintage Halloween decorations.
I recently listed this huge lot of little vintage Halloween jack-o-lanterns. They are little nut cup sized plastic pumpkins. Some are rigid plastic and some are the more pliable (older) plastic. They are really, really cute.
Currently having a bidding war on these (yay!) and had to send a few photos.

Fun with Dick and Jane
One of my favorite things to find, research, and list -- Dick and Jane books. I have some beauties up this week. Have to also include a photo of a 1950 vintage Scott Foresman math game that I found. Two more boxes of vintage readers to list. Some of these photos were too great not to share, though!

Pause for Living - Mid-Century Style
Love these mid-century suburban lifestyle photos from Pause for Living Magazines published by Coca-Cola in the 1950's. I'm writing these up for eBay, and had to share these pics - great fun!

Nancy Carter's 1960 Guide to Leisure Living
This unusual little mid-century book combines recipes and a catalog of summer living items - all sponsored by Colonial grocery stores. I love the pics so much that I had to share a few with you.
