I was wandering in the thrift store the other month and found some natures books on the shelf. I love when I find a collection of books at one time. You also can't beat the 69 cents per book.
These are part of a set of nature books written by Margaret Waring Buck. She was born in New York in 1905 and was an illustrator and naturalist. Some of the books she wrote were In Ponds and Streams, In Yards and Gardens, In Woods and Fields, Where they Go in Winter, Along the Seashore, Animals through the Year and a few others. These books where published in the early to mid-1950s.
The books are illustrated in black and white and while I love the color books that we find there is something simple about these illustrations. These are perfect for nature artwork.
I have a dream of having a nature shelf or table and these books would be perfect for this. They have a vintage look that I love as well.
Have you found some fun books at a thrift store or maybe a new author there?

I am so jealous! I want those book so bad. I am happy for you!
ReplyDeleteI second Phyllis. They are my kind of books. They would look perfect on a nature table!
ReplyDeleteThose look great! Fortunately my library doesn't have any of them.
ReplyDeleteProbably because the copies I found were old library copies I don't think they were your library system.
