I picked up this set of 3 children's books, published in 1959. No, we're not expecting, but I just couldn't resist the charming stories and illustrations (and they'll look cool in a baby's room someday!)
Apparently these books belonged to Ricky... should I call him?We also found some cool old postcard books. I love the detailed illustrations and the colors; you just don't find postcards like this anymore.
What's your favorite flea market find?
Oh my gosh I bought those same "Best in Children's Books" just a couple months ago at our big community booksale. Also grabbed some of my favorite Little Golden Books too!
ReplyDeleteWe're years away from planning a family but I couldn't resist either :)
I am pretty sure all three of those books are stashed away in storage somewhere at my grandpa's house - I think my dad and his sister had them when they were little.
ReplyDeleteAgreed on the postcards - when we were on our honeymoon I really wanted to get some great postcards and frame them (since I am not the most skilled photographer) but none of them were as awesome as old school postcards.
ReplyDeleteI've started collecting old, interesting cameras from flea markets. I currently have 5 and bought them all at once for $20 (bargain!) but I'd like to get more.
ReplyDeleteI also just bought a really cool antique fan that's gold and wiry. I'm sure it would kill someone if it actually worked, but it's really neat looking.
I've been looking for a good flea market around here...can you share where it was? Thanks! ;)
ReplyDelete@Susan, it's about 2 hours from the Philly area, in Mechanicsburg. There is more info here: http://www.williamsgrove.com/ (scroll to the bottom!)
ReplyDeleteMy grandparents had all of those books! They belonged to my mom and i loved reading them as a kid! Great find!
ReplyDeleteI had a ton of those books growing up. I LOVED them. I used to take them to school all the time to have the teacher read a story out of them. I think they are still at my mom's house.
