all the news is in the paper, 1967

"perky party plans are all on paper this year. these provocative designs practically scream festive. and they'll never tear a hole in your budget." paper products (including the vest) from party smarty, tiffany style lamps from basket bazaar, paper (of course) dresses from the broadway and the papier-mache jewelry made by fantastics.

(from los angeles times home magazine february 19. 1967)

ABOUT

i grew up in southern california during the 60s + 70s so i can’t help but be influenced by the crafts + design of that time. please think of this blog as a sketchbook where i share some of these influences.

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.
