Ruby Throat Hummingbird for Pink Saturday




I love vintage books! But I am clearing a few shelves to make room for more wonderful books so have decided to part with a few. The book pictured here is from my personal collection and just one of the vintage books I've decided to sell in my etsy shop: VINTAGE COTTAGE HOME. Take a look. You may remember some of the others I have listed as well. All warm with nostalgia! Come visit when you have a moment!

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY everyone!

For the Love of Vintage Books!





Remember music hour in grade school? I used to look forward to that every week! We often went into a special room for singing, opened our books, and Mrs. Mason took out her pitch pipe! Then we were off and sailing...off to other worlds of adventure! There's just nothing like music to soothe the soul!

Uncle Wiggily comes to Ruby Tuesday!


Here's another of my favorite rabbit storybooks! Uncle Wiggily could get into all sorts of adventures. In this book, it starts with a trip to the dentist. But there's more fun here than just a toothache for the wild rabbit and his friends! With thirty-six chapters in all, anything could happen! What fun!!! A charming antique children's book by Howard R. Garis!

This is just one of the vintage books I am offering for sale in my Vintage Cottage Home Etsy Shop...you can see all of them HERE! Please come and take a look around and I'd love it if you would HEART MY SHOP! Thanks so much!


Today, I am participating in RUBY TUESDAY hosted by
WORK OF THE POET.
