Let's Talk Vintage #19: Ye Olde Books

Welcome to Let's Talk Vintage!

Each week I host a "Link Party" ...every Tuesday at 9 AM, inviting anyone who has a blog, sells vintage, or loves to create and repurpose using vintage things to link up in this weekly space.

 

This week I'm sharing my love for old books. Yep. I love 'em. Especially if they have artistic spines.

 

These photos are straight from my own collection.

I have noticed that some of the spines match,

coming from the same publishing company.

 

I have some of them grouped together.

Like the poetry theme above.

 

The gold gilding helps them shine

so nicely! Amazing how well

 they've lasted. Most are

from the late 1800's.

 

 

Where do I find them, you ask?

Several years ago my Hubby and I used to

travel to Maine each summer to visit my Dad.

I found a lot in New England.

 

Some are found locally,

here in Pennsylvania, too.

 

Some I sell, and some I keep.

 

 

I've decided to sell this wonderful

collection of antique Waverly Novels.

They look stunning, all together!

 

I'm not sure when my fascination

with old books started... but it

does run in the family. My maternal

Grandparents had their own

antiques and bookstore in Florida.
