Congratulations to the winner of the 200 likes random giveaway, Kristen. Next giveaway at 250 likes 🙂
Last weekend I was browsing on ebay and was successful in bidding on a set of 5 vintage books. From the picture I thought I only had one duplicated book already in my collection, the pink dover book by Julia Sanders. When they arrived in the post yesterday I realised one other book was a duplicate too, just with a different cover. The other three books are not already in my collection, and two are Norma Benporath pattern collections, which is a lovely surprise.
My book collection is growing, and soon I might have to think about selling or giving away some duplicates. But for now, I will pour over them and enjoy planning what else I would like to make.
Happy tatting

That’s great, how many vintage books do you have in your collection so far? And where do you find them? 🙂
I probably have 30. I get then mostly on ebay, more rarely from op shops.
I’ve got some doubles of Russian-language tatting books…if you ever want to do a duplicates swap, just let me know. 🙂 (Maybe once I’m in Canberra, so the shipping is less?)
Sounds good! I know I have some Ann Orr doubles and Rebecca Jones too…and a few vintage ones 🙂
