Anyone collect Serendipity books?

[cloud_weaver]

Curious if anyone here collects Serendipity books.  I love them!  I have a small stash myself, been hoarding them since I was young, waiting until my kids are old enough to read them.

I came across an extra "The Grumpling" book yesterday at the store and picked it up.  Would anyone in need of that one?  I would love to swap for one I don't already have.

I don't collect them per say, but if I see them at second hand stores I'll usually buy them.  I don't have many.

I am pretty sure Lady Starflower collects them though.

I collect them and I have an extra somewhere but I can't seem to find it. I'll see if I can't locate it a bit later.

That would be awesome!  If not though, I'd gladly send it to you for the cost of shipping. =)  I just want to make sure it's got a good home where it will be appreciated.  ^_^

I "collect" them....so far my collection includes a grand total of 3 books, I believe. I don't try to chase them down online, but if I see them at a thrift store or a garage sale I'll pick them up.....but so far I haven't had much luck. I had so many of them when I was little! Right now I just have Poppy, Fanny, and....I don't remember what the third one was. I just love the art style though, and when I was little I was a huge fan of any of them that featured equines!

I inherited my mother's serendipity books when i was a kid so i definitely still pick them up if i find them for sale anywhere! I stick to the paperbacks just because that's what i always had growing up, i only have a handful.

I guess you could say I "collect" them too. I have my childhood ones still, and have recently passed them on to my daughters. I grab them whenever I see them at thrift stores. I have so many fond memories of those books from when I was a kid.

We used to have Lady Rose but I don't know what happened to it. I love these books, beautifully illustrated and each has a wonderful message without being preachy and pushy.

Yes I have a whole bunch from my childhood!

I loved the illustrations as a kid, especially from Morgan and Me!

I still have the ones from when I was a kid, but the other day I noticed a bunch of them in the store (new) so they must have reprinted them at some point.

I love these books and my daughter and I look for them at Goodwill. I had them as a kid and now my daughter does!

[kellyponyfeathers]

I have some from childhood and bought a lot of 6 for my friend's little girl last Christmas.  Of course I love Morgan and Flutterby, and also Shimmeree.  I remember bawling over Morgan Morning when I was little.

I don't collect them, but love the illustrations and stories in them. They are beautifully done. I have a tonne of childrens stories, and unfortunately don't really have room for anything that isn't aimed at around five years and under. I use my books to read to the children I teach and find that anything too long winded loses the attention of the kids too quickly. Pretty much something short with pretty pictures, and preferably some sort of life lesson thrown in lol.

I had a few serendipity books, can't remember exactly which ones, but wound up giving themaway due to lack of bookshelf space. And im a sucker for buying any diecent kids booksat garage sales. Im lucky I don't have my own, so my kids technically never grow out of my book collection, I just get new kids to read them to

The one I always remembered as a child was Leo the Lop.  Such a cute story!  They have such beautiful illustrations and great morals that I love holding onto them.    If anyone would like to swap for my book, plmk!  These are the books that I currently have:

Crabby Gabby
The Dream Tree
Flutterby
Gabby
Glitterby Baby
The Grumpling
Leo the Lop (tail two)
Memily
Misty Morgan
Persnickity
Rhubarb
Sniffles
Tee-Tee
Tickle's Tale
Wheedle on the Needle

Though again, if I can't find someone to swap with, I will gladly send it to someone for free (just pay $2 for shipping via 'gift').
