Book Fair update!

I just added over 20 new (old) books to The Book Fair! yay! Lots of goodies in this batch, including a lot of Judy Blume and Beverly Cleary (including this version of Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret with an AMAZING cover!)

Also, I recently got a bunch of Goosebumps and Baby Sitters Club books, so now I have BSC and Goosebumps themed Book Fair kits in the shop! :D

Book Fair update!

I just added over 20 new items to The Book Fair, including this new print set (I also have "I love books" prints available separately.) If you're curious, the boy is going to be the face of a new just-for-boys Book Fair kit that's coming soon to the shop! :) Basically it will be the same as the existing kit except it'll have a boy on the button & case, and the fruity pencil and rainbow eraser will be replaced with something a little less feminine... and there won't be any Sweet Valley High books included, haha!



I had mentioned in the Book Fair listing that I'd include some goodies if you were ordering it as a birthday present, but I decided to just make the birthday kit have a listing all to itself. It's the same price as the regular kit, but it includes a baby sitters club style birthday card on the front, a birthday pencil and a birthday cake shaped eraser inside. It's available here.

I also added over 20 new books! And I actually have about 100 more that I need to photograph and list soon! Phew! Here are some of my favorites from today's new batch:

Introducing: The Book Fair!!!

I've been working on this for weeks and I am SO excited to finally share it!!

Remember the book fairs from elementary school? I looked forward to them so much! To a little bookworm like me, they were magical! I loved getting new books and fun school supplies that you could never find anywhere else but the book fair -- pop-a-point pencils that smelled like strawberry, bright rainbow erasers and silly bookmarks! And remember Book-It, the button program where you'd get free Pizza Hut after you filled up your button with stickers??

Okay, well recently I was getting really nostalgic and decided to recreate that magic for myself. While I was at it, I thought maybe I'm not the only one with a hankering for a good old fashioned book fair. So I decided to open a new etsy shop dedicated to the books that fueled our love of reading as kids and the book fairs that brought them to us!

It's stocked with vintage young adult books, some PDF printables and art prints (well, one print so far but I'm going to add more soon) but the thing I'm most excited about is the book fair kit! It includes a 80's-90's paperback, 3 corny but fantastic bookmarks, a pop-a-point scented pencil, a rainbow eraser, a booklet to keep track of the books you've read, and a button with 10 stickers to mark off each book you've read! And it all comes neatly packed in a canvas drawstring bag hand-stamped with The Book Fair logo I designed :D

Okay, I'm done gushing now! :D You can check out The Book Fair shop here if you're interested! :)
