Collection Resurrection: Vintage Books & Magazines
After an ace haul of vintage paper craft, toy making, crochet and knitting books the other week I've decided to bring back my vintage books 'n zines collection...
Vintage books.
When I first launched Thrift-ola in 2011 I really enjoyed selling vintage annuals, art ‘n craft books and magazines but along the way Royal Mail’s fees made postage for such heavy items too expensive. However, they have recently introduced a new ‘small packet’ mailing option which means the postage costs are now ok again so the Books ‘n’ Zines collection is back in business!
Here’s a little peek at some of the vintage titles I have in the shop…
