vintage craft books

I can't remember the last time I didn't write a blog post or read another blog for almost a week. All my time is going into the new website/shop. And in the last two weeks, that needed to go in gear 3 instead of gear 5. But my concussion is over! Thank you, thank you for your sweet reactions and emails!! So sweet! I'm fine again, thanks!

In this post: a great catch that arrived yesterday!! As you know, I love vintage craft books and old knitting and crochet patterns. It's hard to find the real, real vintage (almost antique) magazines but after a half year, I did a great deal! Found all the complete volumes (1951 to 1958) of a Dutch craft magazine. I love it!!!!!
(so funny.. the top pictures is from 1956, the year they started with a color printed front page!!)

  3. My Mum was born in the Netherlands in 1951. (She moved to Australia with her family when she was 4.) I wonder if my Oma used these magazines to make clothes for my mum?
