| While shopping at Adjectives Market, an antique mall here in Central Florida, I came across this lovely set of books. It is an almost complete collection of books about a little girl named Maida. The set is only lacking one in the series. |
 |
| They were so sweet looking that I decided to buy them. I have already read the first two in the series. The first one is Maida's Little Shop and the Second is Maida's Little House. |
 |
| These little books are copy righted in 1926. They are written by Inez Haynes Irwin.... I had never heard of these books before. Have any of you? I am thinking they must have been quite popular back then because the series is quite large..... |
 |
| So for homeschoolers or lovers of vintage books this little series is just so cute! I am thoroughly enjoying the reading of these children's adventures. I suppose I am still a child in my heart. I hope you are all staying warm. I am staying in, and I believe I may make myself some hot chocolate. xoxo, Amy Jo |
What a wonderful find!
ReplyDeleteLove these old, sweet books! My son was given some old books from the 50's from his great-aunt and we are loving the precious stories. Have a blessed day :) Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of the series, but how neat! I had to chuckle at your staying warm and making hot chocolate comment! My in laws are visiting Orlando and told us it was 46 degrees at night. In Chicago we were hit with another Polar Vortex and it went to -31 degrees with the wind chill. Oh to be in Florida again! :) Have a blessed day!
ReplyDeleteLoved that place; I miss it! And Florida! It's so cold here.
ReplyDeleteNo, I have never heard of them, but they are ADORABLE! I love Adjectives, can you believe they are going to sponsor my show!!! I would love to see you and Savannah at the show, by then the wedding will be over and you will be looking for a day of fun!!

I know you are excited and I enjoyed seeing the photos! I love in Florida, too! I love FL blogs and bloggers! Sweet hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteAmy Jo, I just saw this post and had to comment while I thank you for your kind message to me about my books. I had never heard of this series or of this author either. Not much is before my time anymore, but 1926 is a little bit!. What a priceless find..Happy Tuesday..Judy
