I happened upon a bunch of old knitting, crochet, and doily making booklets at the thrift today. I don't know how to do any of those things and looking at the instructions makes me think rocket science may be easier. But I do like to look at the pictures and think I may one day figure it out. I restrained myself and only bought 6. (I put 25 back). When I put them back another lady had a stack of ones that I never saw in her buggy.
What?! Where did you get those?! I guess I must have over looked them... Anyway, I handed her my rejects and all said she checked out with a total of 58! I was bummed that I didn't see the ones that she snagged before me because she had a 1940's Mend for Victory booklet in her clutches. She was nice enough to let me look at it.
But moving on....I did get 6 pretty cool ones. I am going to post some of the highlights from each one...starting with "Handbags and Hats" cica 1953..
The two bottom purses are the cutest!
I love grey and yellow color combinations.
As you may recall the booklet is "Handbags and Hats" and I have not yet put a representation of a hat yet. That's is because the hats are horrible! Fine! Don't believe me? Check it:
This is not even cool, not even uncool that becomes cool...if you get me. And why is she carrying a purse around with a roll of toilet paper?
