a note on vintage books + craft supplies
- PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PRIOR TO MAKING A COMMENT: the images in this blog are mainly from my personal collection of vintage publications + i cite the source whenever possible. i am unable to provide instructions for the projects or sources for the supplies pictured in many of the images. i am also unable to respond to requests concerning value of any particular item nor do i make copies of anything in my collection. if you are interested in finding a particular vintage item i suggest that you search either ebay or etsy. thanks!
new books mentioned in this blog
i am acquainted with a few publicists who work for publishers that publish craft and design books. they occasionally send me review copies of their latest offerings. if i choose to do so i sometimes make mention of these books if i think the readers of this blog might be interested in hearing what i think about them. in some cases these are books that i have contributed to and of course want to lend a hand in the promotion of them.
Great find, these are fantastic. As a 1960s-obsessed rug-maker, I find them really inspiring!

Thanks very much for posting this! I grew up with many rya rugs, wall hangings, and pillow covers that my dad knotted.
