eBay My World: fourfive( 689)

I'm a mom, home educator of two daughters. We've read aloud together since they were only a few months old, something we still do. We're always looking for used vintage books to add to and help fund our family home library: Seven Pillars Book Nook.

I've been selling used vintage books on ebay since 1998 to help fund our family home library: Seven Pillars Book Nook. While looking for my own treasures at garage sales, thrift stores, used book stores, & library book sales I often find duplicates to share with other like-minded book lovers and home educators. My auctioned books are similar to the kind I own: eclectic, including mostly, but not entirely, used vintage collectible books, vintage children picturebooks and chapterbooks, both fiction and non-fiction, vintage fiction, childrens books, book sets, with topics of religion, theology, history, biography, politics, science, nature, art, music, food, education, and home education (homeschooling). I some times offer homeschool curriculum, dvds, videos, cds, records, others collectibles, household items, clothing, and hand made items. Occasionally there will be book LOTS-several books sold together in one auction. Looking for a way to pay for your purchases? Sell used vintage books!

I took a break for the past five years but have just returned to selling again November 2009. This is our last 2 years of homeschooling so I'm going through all our shelves, down-sizing, and re-organizing, and will be listing items here at ebay. We've been to a lot of garage sales, thrift stores and used book stores so our treasures come from various places. I haven't personally owned all the items I auction. Parents and grandparents if you're looking for good vintage collectible books to read to your children, my auctioned books may be what you're looking for to add to your homeschool bookroom, collection, or home library. A favorite quote of mine by Emily Dickinson describes today's vintage collectible books: A precious - mouldering pleasure - 'tis - to meet an Antique Book In just the Dress his Century wore - a privilege - I think. I hope I can help you find one of your childhood vintage treasures or perhaps even a new one or two, but especially a good book to read to your children.

Our Family Home Library is filled with used, second-hand, vintage collectible books. We call it Seven Pillars Book Nook. We've read wonderful stories together since my daughters were very young. If you are building a Family Home Library or homeschool bookroom, and as a parent you enjoy reading vintage collectible books aloud to your children, please, be sure to email me and let me know. I always enjoy meeting other like-minded individuals and home educators! A quote from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice where Miss Bingley is talking with Mr. Darcy ( a generational library): What a delightful library you have at Pemberley, Mr. Darcy! – It ought to be good, he replied, it has been the work of many generations. – And then you have added so much to it yourself, you are always buying books. – I cannot comprehend the neglect of a family library in such days as these.
