Antique Children's Christmas Book Collection

Here is my ever growing collection of Victorian Children's Christmas Books. I started picking them up several years ago to use at our local historical home to decorate with and fell in love the the colorful covers. Most of them are in pretty rough condition-but I don't mind-they were probably well loved. This past Tuesday my husband took me antiquing for my birthday and I found this one-the Santa Claus Visit for only $3.00( I was so excited because they usually sell for more!). I really like this one because it has a blonde and brown haired girl on the cover(I collect things with both because my sister has brown hair!). I also bought this one for $15.00 at another store.

This was another new addition this year.


The rest of these are from years past-can you believe how many different ones there were-who would have known!~
