May Vintage Book Favorites (and my vintage book shop!)

Some of my favorite images posted last month on my vintage book blog

Also - I started a shop on Etsy to sell vintage books in - Elwood and Eloise. My collection was getting super-huge, so I'm trying to pare it down a bit.... plus I just think it's fun to find books to sell. Plus-plus,  I'm trying to start saving up some money to move. Across the country. Because I'm feeling done with the  east coast. I don't think I'm going to get rich with this shop (ha), but... every little bit helps me towards that goal.

So... if you want to go take a look or "heart it" or whatever, I'd appreciate it oh so much.

Now for the awesome old illustrations / book covers!

  1. Where are you planning to move? (Please say LA!)

    1. That's the dream, Sara!!! I'd leave today if I could, but in reality it probably won't be for ages.

      It would be so much easier if I wanted to move somewhere else on the east coast (in that case I would've left Maine already) but it's a much larger undertaking to get me (and all my books because I'm not going without them, haha) across the country!

  2. Aw...I always love your scans for the pure beauty of them, but within this batch in particular I spotted so many books I read / owned as a kid! Nostalgia blast :)

  3. Oh and I may be moving to the west coast too!...probably not for another year or two, because my move last year bankrupted me and my current job is not conducive to saving, soo I feel ya. But maybe I'll see you over there eventually! yay!

    1. My move will (sadly) not be in the very near future either... but I thought I'd throw it out there on the blog in the hope that it would make me be more proactive about making it happen, haha

      but yay for eventual west coast-ness!
