good thing I wasn’t thrifting near you – I would have knocked you down to get my mitts on that sewing book (ok – not really, but you get the idea!). great finds!
yep, definitely feeling that blog fatigue too. But a lovely splash of colour makes the world of difference. Now must go and try to pull a blog together.
Cute books – what neat finds! Thanks for the stitchette patterns as well – I just got the second set and cannot wait to make them up for my kids for Christmas! I’ll post pictures when I finish!
YOu should check out a childrens author named Enid Blyton. She was a british author in the 30-60 ish. Not only are the pictures amazingly cute, the stories are wonderfully simple and cute. We lived in Africa for a while and she was all the rage. Something like R. Dahl
Great finds – I love the illustrations on the sewing book – those dresses either have very starchy skirts or they’re wearing rather uncomfortable knickers! Hope you’re not too down x
Love the sewing book. Love the colors. I think if were ever to win the lotto and get to hire a decorator I would just hand them one of these books. Make it pretty like this.
Does anyone know where to find the Betsy books, (betsy goes to preschool, to the dr., etc.) from the late 1960’s early 70’s. Am told they are out of print now
what great finds! love the sewing book especially.

Blog fatigue, it’s the weather, and the lack of sunshine, I feel the same 🙁

Oh I just absolutely LOVE the books you found. One of my greater passions is books for all ages.
The Sewing Book looks fabulous. Do you have pictures of the inside? I would love to see some!
