Mama Holli is a sucker for
old children's books!
These sweet books were found at various book sales and such. I especially love the ones which have inscriptions written on the inside covers. It is as if you are looking into the past. Even finding a book with a scribble or two! Some sweet baby's little fingers left their mark in time. My old address book has two pages filled with
33 cent stamps! I am sure I was less than thrilled at the time to discover that all my postage was used to decorate my important book. Now when I open to the addresses under the letter D, it immediately puts a smile on my face!
So display your old books proudly!
Especially those with scribbles inside!

Good morning, Holli! Of course, you know this mama LOVES old children's books! I just can't NOT get them if I see them! Love those old illustrations! Looks like you found some beauties...love the stamp story!
When my husband's kids were toddlers he made them a rocking chair. Today they are in their 30s, and I am using the chair to seat my grandmom's gorgeous china doll. It looks so sweet....I love old books. My brother -without asking BTW- took my library from my old room in my parent's house and gave them all to my niece! I couldn't believe he did that! Not having children he figured, I guess, that I wouldn't want them, (but he was wrong!)
I WANT THAT RUDOLPH BOOK. Where ever did you find that?
I love these books! I'm a sucker for anything from my childhood. NIce display!
