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.
Hi Cathy...
Yes, I have enjoyed the Modern Embroidery pictures. They look totally retro-modern today. If the photos were staged with a white background, they would look just about like the stuff offered on Etsy now.

Hi Cathy, Just found your blog and I love it! I've been having fun trawling back over lots of your old posts. I guess it's hard to resist all that 60's and 70's craft stuff when it's such a large part of who you were. My mum and I were always crafting(embroidery, fabric collage. macrame etc) and lucky for me she didn't throw too much away!
