Books are always on my list of loved vintage items, but my infatuation with dresses means they are often overlooked. Occasionally though, I will spy something that reminds me how much I like them. One of the genres I really enjoy collecting and reading is spooky storybooks. They quite often contain an excellent tale or two, and the worn look of a vintage book usually adds to the feeling of creepiness and horror...
Of course, I also love books with vintage fashion in them. The above lovely sewing book enthralls me with fascinating and forgotten techniques, and also provides a few giggles with the outdated language and advice.
Most of all though, I just love the familiar, comfortable look of old books. Their worn covers, yellow pages, and handwritten notes remind me that someone else once loved them too. I like the fact that they have survived all these years and now I get to keep them safe...all while they make my shelves look pretty.
