Hippie Owls

Here are what I like to call the "Hippie" owls with their long hair! And, I mean long hair. Check out the other photos on the attached link.

They are featured in my Etsy shop, Frugal Fashions. They've already had a lot of views and are listed for $9.95. Buy local and save shipping and handling.

They need a good home. Know of one?
Hoo could be the one?

Other Etsy Shops

Although "Cookbook Peddler" is the shop I promote the most, I also have two other Etsy shops. One of them is Frugal Fashions. Today, I posted this pretty Bunny wall decor and coat rack. It is more for decoration then for everyday use, but isn't it just too cute?

Frugal Fashions is my shop for "Vintage" clothing, home decor, patterns, gift wrap, craft books and such. Between yesterday and today, I listed an assortment of "owls" which are very collectible again, some wall decor and other odds and ends.

My Cookbook Collection

This photo represents only a fraction of the cookbooks that I have collected over the years. I estimate that I have over 1,000 cookbooks! Some are old, some are new, some are big, some are small, but the truth be told....the vintage "cookery" books are my favorite of all!

What is a "cookery booklet?" They are the small, soft-cover booklets. Typically, they are were used for advertising purposes and were published to market a particular brand-name. For example, Betty Crocker, Bisquick, Rumford Baking Powder, etc.  I have a large collection of vintage cookery booklets as well as appliance recipe booklets for vintage mixers and other popular appliances from the 1950's-1960's. 

It is getting harder to find vintage cookbooks and cookery booklets. I treasure the find and believe in keeping them in circulation for others to enjoy. To see what I've posted "For Sale" visit my Etsy shop, http://www.Etsy.com/shop/CookbookPeddler
