Hi to all my loyal customers and those of you who are new to perusing my auctions!

I started selling vintage knitting and crocheting pattern publications on ebay 6 years ago to supplement the meager income I was making working at an assisted living facility for older adults with Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia.  Over the years I've expanded to include newer publications as well as vintage sewing, hair styles, fashion and beauty books.  I love just about anything vintage, collecting vintage books and magazines, and making crafts, so this has been a perfect combination for me!  I feel that reusing vintage items and promoting handmade over mass produced goods plays a part in keeping our world a little bit cleaner.

I have had to decrease the number and kind of items I have for sale over the past few months due to the economy and my busy schedule as an occupational therapy graduate student.  Have no fear, I still have a great collection of rare vintage goodies and may be ready to part with them when the economy perks back up.  I'm always glad to help you locate patterns or publications if there is something specific you are looking for.  I have helped thousands of designers, costumers (including a woman who worked on the set of Peter Jackson's King Kong movie!), collectors, and business/hobby crafters, and I look forward to serving many more in the future. 

Thanks for stopping by!
