Multicolor conté

Bought last summer at a flea market in the Provence, France.

Snakes & ladders

I recently found this treasure at a flea market. Unfortunately just the board. It's definately old, but I was not able to determine the year it was published. The illustrations look rather victorian. Anyone have a clue?

Vintage sports and games

This is a small vintage book about sports and games at school.

Gansje Kriek en Konijntje Snif

The weirdest thing, I don't remember any particular books or stories from my childhood. What I do remember are illustrations in books and I especially remember certain illustration styles. This book is a good example of an illustration style I clearly remember. The softness, the use of colour and most of all how the girls and the goose are illustrated. 

Illustrated by Belgian illustrator Marcel Marlier.

Original title is: 'L'oie Eugénie et Snif le lapin' by Jeanne Dethise and Marcel Marlier (Casterman)

Vintage lotto and wooden blocks

Two vintage games I thrifted a few months ago

. Lotto cards are always typographic treasures, in my opinion.

Vintage postcards

I have a few more vintage postcards which I'd like to share!

I always look for the postcards which were actually sent and have text on them. This one is particularly sweet. A mother writes to her son who's away from home for the holiday. 

Hopefully you'll have a warm and sunny holiday!
