A few of my favourite blogs

I've been thinking a lot about blogging this week. Possibly, because three of my favourite bloggers are taking a blog break, and I miss them. You know who you are Sharon, Claudine and Megan!

Anyway, I thought I would share some of my other favourite blogs, but leave out the usual suspects Darlene, Donna, Eve and Jess; they all know they are high on my list of must-reads. These are some other blogs I’ve found and enjoyed over the last few months. I've interspersed a few books from stock just to add some colour. If you would like further information about the featured books, please click on the link under each illustration.

Maddie at The world from my window writes about life in a typical English village - or tales from England's rural underbelly! I guarantee you will enjoy it.

Michelle at vintage cobweb has a wonderfully collection of vintage books and delights in sharing them. Her blog is an excellent resource for anyone starting their own collection. Michelle also writes about holidays and trips in ‘Mouse House’ (the family caravan). My post last week - I think mice are nice - was inspired by Michelle and Mouse House.

Teddy Bear Coalman by Phoebe and Selby Worthington (very scarce) now sold, thank you for your interest

A visit to Alex at The children’s war is always time well spent. I had no idea there were so many fascinating books for young people concerning World War Two. This is from the introduction - This blog is called The Children’s War because I have always been interested in the impact World War II had on young people. But they were not merely passive victims; but, despite fear, many of them participated in assisting the war effort in a wide variety of ways. So many writers have used, and continue to use, World War II in their work and it is interesting to see how they depict the lives of children and teenagers in their stories – in both fiction and non-fiction.

Mrs. Bunny's refugee by A. J. Macgregor is now sold, thank you for your interest.

Always Crave cute is the perfect blog for anyone with a love of vintage bits and bobs. Diane writes about food, crafting, vintage stuff (of course), collecting, gardening, pets, wildlife, music, life and anything else that strikes her fancy.

The Kittie-Poosies by Ivy Wallace is now sold, thank you for your interest.

Grow Old with Grace is a wonderful mix of just about everything! Grace relates her experiences and memories, offers advice for surviving the aging process and even throws in the odd book review.  

Edwardian Entertainments by John S Goodall is now sold, thank you for your interest

A very fairy garden is one of the most beautiful blogs around. If you like wonderful photographs, fairies and legends, you will love this blog. With thanks to Sharon from Sharon’s Sunlit memories for sharing this gorgeous blog.

Fairy Shopping by Sally Gardner

I could go on and on, but I think I should stop now and save the rest for another post. Thanks for taking the time to call in, I appreciate it. Barbara
