I used to own a yarn/needlework store about 20 years ago and I will be listing tons of vintage knitting and cross stitch patterns and books so please keep looking. Please email if you need more details or a picture of something in particular. Any glare or blurriness is from my camera.

I classify condition based on how the item looks. If it is brand new- it has no markings but may have a price sticker- there may be some store handling. Like new means it is almost in brand new condition but has been previously owned and lightly used. Very good has been lightly used and may have a little bit of damage and/or markings and sometimes the covers get most of the hits while the inside is much better quality. Good means that it has been used and there is some damage and/or markings. Acceptable means that it has been heavily used and I usually only list this quality if it's a rare or hard to find item. On the rare occasion I may miss something- I try my best to go through every page but I have so much to list. PLEASE NOTE- an old price on an item does not dictate the current price, something that cost $1.00 in 1970 may be much more valuable in today's market due to rarity, if it is out of print, availability and if it is vintage or a limited edition. 

All my items come from a non-smoking home- I do purchase from various sources and if I notice a smokey smell I will note it in the listing.

For copyright reasons I can not accept returns, if you have received the wrong item I will certainly make every effort to get you the correct one though.

Any international transactions may be subject to customs and duty charges in YOUR country.  These are the responsibility of the buyer.  EBay is faulting sellers who do not deliver within their estimated delivery time which is not long enough so I've had to change my listings to 3 day handling times-  I will still be shipping the day of payment or the first business day after.
