I left the office today with the intentions of buying a hot chocolate. Well on my way through the shopping plaza to get my hot chocolate there was a book sale. The Public Library was having a sale to getting rid of some of it's discarded books. Well I went in with the intention of "just browsing". I found the cookbooks section and quickly seached through them and this is what I found. Two vintage Wilton books, hard cover. Celebrate! Omnibus and Celebrate! V - jubillee edition. Well they begged be to buy them and carry them home. Needless to say I could not resist buying them. Oh, and I did not end up getting that hot chocolate either. To top it off I was late for my meeting. But none of that matters... I got the books!!!!!!!!!!


Here are pics of the books. The condition of them is pretty good considering they were library books

Yea I thought it was a pretty cool find too. I had walked away from the table after not seeing any books of interest at first glance but for some reason I went back and that's when I found them.

Awesome find. I have a whole bunch of Wilton vintage year books. (circa 1960's) I love looking through them. I haven't used any of their designs yet, since all my cakes have been for younger people wanted more modern designs. I hope to use some of the cake ideas soon though.

Great discovery! Check e-Bay too. I've won a couple of the Celebrate books and the Wilton Encyclopedias, 3 volumes with one pattern set.

Hi: I had all of the wilton books dated back in the '70's. I think with all the moving that I have done those two books got lost. However, all thru the moves I have made I still have my 3 encyclopodias (sp) of wiltons. I love looking through them and seeing what amazing things can be done with icing. They keep me striving to learn, learn, and learn. I love cake decorating. Vicki0052.

OK I am off to the library book sale. It's fill a bag with as many books as possible for $1 day. Hopefully I will find more cake books.

These ones were $2 each.

If I find anything interesting I will be sure to post it.

Have a good day everyone.
