I would love to invite you to visit my eBay store, Birdhouse Books. You can also find me at my blog, View from the Birdhouse.
My name is Trish. I grew up in a family that went antiquing on weekends for fun. Road trips always involved a stop at a little antique store in an out of the way location. From childhood, I was fascinated with vintage paper - especially vintage Valentines and Christmas cards.
My special favorite, though, is vintage children's books. I love them! I have a small collection of vintage picture books featuring dachshund dogs, and some favorite Little Golden Books. I especially like Little Golden Books with dog stories, Christmas themes, and Eloise Wilkin illustrations.
You'll find all of these things - and a little more - in my shop on eBay. I've sold since 2003 at eBay and have recently opened a shop at Etsy as well: Birdhouse Books on Etsy.
Here are a few photos of things you will find at Birdhouse Books:

Vintage Valentines! Don't they remind you of childhood Valentine exchanges at school?
And of course there are vintage Christmas cards that evoke nostalgic holidays from the past:
