Birdhouse Books Loves Vintage Books and Pretty Paper

Hi vintage friends!

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 Children's Books like this one.  Pictured, Riddles Riddles from A to Z by Trina Schart:

Fun and unique vintage cookbooks, like 75 Glamorous Rice Dishes.  (Yes, rice can be glamorous!):

I love Roadside Americana and always have a selection of vintage postcards featuring motels, restaurants, amusement parks, and old fashioned tourist attractions.

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:

I've enjoyed chatting with you here and sharing a peek inside my shop.  Hope you have a great day with some fun retro finds!

Udderlygoodstuff Celebrates "Christmas in July" with a Sale!

I have known Danni Udderlygoodstuff for about 5 years or so and I think she's one of the amazing people on eBay.  Danni sells antiques, lots more categories than I do and is very knowledgeable about them. She likes antiques so much she lived out a dream of mine, she apprenticed with a local auction house for 6 mos. 

She relocated recently several thousand miles from her original "hot spot" home and is now a "snowbird".  In the process she shed all her old stock and has lots of new stuff to list and she's put all of it on sale for a 5% discount. 

Here are some of her things I particularly like:
Fenton Melon Vase

and then there's this -

 (Danni, if my husband buys this, don't tell me.. it's a surprise)

Cat Wall Pocket

And this?? HEY DEADHEADS!!

Beatles Scrapbook - 1964

Danni is adding stuff even as I type so you best just go and check it out... http://stores.ebay.com/Udderly-Good-STuff
