One of my favourite things in the world is scouring second-hand bookshops, charity shops, book fayres, and car boot sales for beautiful old books. So I decided that the only way I can continue this hobby is to start selling some of them (so I can buy more – of course), SOB.
Just three years after opening an Etsy account (that’s how long it’s taken me to convince myself to part with these books – LOL), I’ve finally added some stock to my shelves. I’d love it if you’d come take a look – if not just to browse.

I’ll be steadily adding more books (I have so many!) and will be posting shop-related posts on Saturdays when new stock makes the journey from cupboard to virtual shelf!
I don’t want people to think this is just a money-making scheme, I genuinely love the books I’m selling. And I like browsing, and finding hidden gems more than anything, so I thought you guys might like to see the books I’ve found over the years and continue to dig out – I’m not trying to convince you to buy them!
Here’s what my shop looks like at the moment – I’m really pleased I’ve managed to sell two books so far, in the run-up to Christmas.
Do you have an Etsy store? Link me up and I’ll come and visit!
What a brilliant idea and one perhaps I should consider. Good luck on clearing your shop window.
Thank you! And thanks for the retweet! It’s a win-win – If they sell I have money to buy more, if they don’t, I get to keep them. LOL!
Best of luck with your shop!
Ah, this is so awesome! 😀 I will definitely make sure to keep an eye on your shop to see if anything catches my eye. Super old vintage books are some of my favourite things. I can’t wait to see your Saturday posts!
Oh yay, thanks Chiara! 🙂
best wishes!
