Sarabela,
My wife is drooling over those books. As a long time seamstress she collects and uses sewing books.
As for the "Storybook Pillows" I have one similar to it from when I was around 5 or so. That's a lot of summers ago, and I still have it. It's a pajama case that came with a little stuffed dog. The dog and the case has a matching snap on it to hold them together. Your pillow reminded me of it.
Strange what we keep from our childhood.
