It's funny you should mention Little Grey Rabbit, I've just purchased a collection of 31 books that I will be featuring here over the next three weeks. I'm going to pay you a visit on Etsy after leaving this reply. Have you found my website? www.marchhousebooks.co.uk. There are lots of pretty vintage books there. Thanks so much for your visit.

I was perusing your blog here and see that you have a collection of Little Grey Rabbit! I have a few in my little library upstairs along with other sweet little books. I am a French teacher, so I have a collection of vintage French story books as well. I also illustrate and have an Etsy shop with cards with my illustrations, and my style reflects my love for the more "innocent" depiction of childhood. So glad to find you!<br /><br />Enjoy your day, Anita Castles Crowns and Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780241008313365707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-22957463926111909212013-04-04T07:46:23.047+01:002013-04-04T07:46:23.047+01:00Dear Silvina,

If I stop selling I will also have to stop buying, and that’s something I just can’t do. I get to look after all these lovely books for a while and for that I'm very grateful.<br /><br />You should feature your book – front cover or not – it’s what’s inside that really counts (the same with people). I for one would enjoy seeing it.<br /><br />I'm glad you already know Marge’s blog.

I've never seen this one before but I've always had a soft spot for any book that pops up or has pictures that slide out - I always thought they were very special when I was a child. I have one I've been meaning to feature in a post for ages - the only thing that has been putting me off is that I no longer have the front cover - a bit of regular flaw with a lot of my books that were read until they fell to pieces!<br /><br />I'm so glad you have found Marge's blog. She introduced me to the world of blogging! I discovered her when I was looking for paper dolls a couple if years ago and was so inspired that I decided to start one of my own. Her blog is beautiful - I don't know how she manages to keep it up so consistently. sharonssunlitmemorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00817837936506262964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-42212646001478228502013-04-03T20:48:45.751+01:002013-04-03T20:48:45.751+01:00Hello Sandra, I’m very happy to meet you!
