Friday, May 23, 2008 - Vintage Thingies Thursday ~ May 22

These are my vintage Laura Ingalls Wilder books.  They are not the original ones my Mum bought me after watching the TV show in the 1970s.  After we moved when I was 14, they were given away, Mum gave them to younger kids. In 2003 I bought these on ebay.  They have been read often, and sometimes need a peg to achieve that.  I would love to get some new ones, but love these ones as well.  I had many peaceful hours reading these at the farmhouse when my youngest was one.  It was a lovely place with spacious rooms and great views.  Though the house itself was showing some vintage wear and tear. They are really a treasured possession.  I love how sometimes you get an ex-library book from far flung places.

Love the books. My next week's Thingy actually has to do with Laura. I read all her books as as girl. And I watched the TV show religiously after school every day. My daughters will be out of school for the summer next week and will need some reading. Might need to check out e-bay myself! Sometimes vintage is funner than new anyway. :D

My, those are vintage! Weren't those books a joy? I still have the one's my Mom bought for me and read to me as a little girl. Since then, they still get read and reread once in a while. Too precious. ~Monica~

I enjoyed reading this series as an earliteen. If I come across any of the vintage edition I am sure to get a copy.
