Most of these items are listed on my Ebay shop here - if not, just contact me (haven't had much time this week to finish all of my listings)

I am very happy to finish an auction early, especially at the moment as posting time is always limited with Christmas on its way - just email me or leave a message and I'm more than happy to help - for more photos, just ask!

Have a good week - happy hunting!

Love these two French booklets

Sorry, but this catalogue is sold
This is a fabulous catalogue from a Parisian luggage specialist - including prices in old francs: trunks, bags, picnic hampers, cases - everything that a well-heeled traveller might need at the turn of the 19th century - you can read more about it here.




sorry, but this book is sold
Here is a Girl Guide booklet about earning their badges. In France, the Girl Guides are known as 'Jeannettes' - after Jeanne D'Arc (Joan of Arc) of course! Each badge has a sweet little drawing - you can read more here.

I love these two booklets - the luggage catalogue is just fabulous as the photos are an absolute mine of information if you are a collector or deal in vintage luggage, and as for the Girl Guide book - it's SO sweet. I was a Girl Guide in England - in the Bantams you know, and this brought back lots of memories of doing my best, campfires - and stitching those badges onto my sleeve...
