Old vintage women's magazines can gives the generations of today, a glimpse into the past, providing an insight into home life.... decorating, gardening and yummy recipes. Such magazines also serve as a resource for learning and researching the art of fashionable dress of the day.
Ephemera ~ what does it mean? According to the dictionary the word refers to items of paper that are of short lived duration and were meant to be discarded after the event etc. However, much of this type of paper was saved and stored away possibly for sentimental reasons or for other purposes.
The craze of sending picture postcards began in 1898 and lasted for the next 25 years. Then, as it is today, it was the collector's rage. So browse the Victorian and early 20th Century postcards section of this category, as I am sure you will find some treats. Truly, another form of the lithographer's art is the Victorian greeting card in the style of the postcard while others are made of exquisite pages tied with ribbons to be view as a book. Some of these beauties are edged with fringe and embellished with silk and satin fabrics.

Antique Vintage Books Storybooks School Slates Pencils
Should you love, as I do, young children stories and school books, both 19th century to vintage, I think you will be delighted with the findings. As early school books are one of my favorites, I would like to offer a few other treasures from these primary years such as the slate board, pencil boxes, book carriers and even a slate pencil or two. They just seem to go with early school books.
So if reading is your past time, especially mid to late Victorian or even into the early 20th century, I hope you will pull up a chair to browse the shelf of the books available.
