October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month |
The second picture is of a few vintage sewing patterns as well as a Vogue pattern catalogue from 1974! Sew cool! The last picture is of a collection of Foreign Travel magazine. The collection begins in November 1934 and, save one, it is complete through December 1935! I found collection, along with a ton of books, at a local thrift shop. I feel I hit pay dirt here! I found an entire room of books! I actually felt guilty walking away from this store after only paying $2.00 for the magazine collection! These magazines are full of terrific photos and graphics. I originally went shopping to find cheap books to cut up for different paper crafts. Honestly, I find the thought of cutting up books something I will have a hard time doing...even cheap books. Is that weird? Well, I will not cut up these magazines, however I did find a few books that will be sacrificed for the sake of art!
This then brings me to the third page of my Discovering Myself Journal. I've finished this page and I "jazzed" up pages 1 and 2 with some stickers and gold thread. I cut up my first book last night. Well, I cut a page up; the page depicting Western Europe. I glued Great Britain, Norway, and Sweden onto Page 3. The ticket says, "What I Miss Most About Childhood..."
My answer here: No Fears. I also miss people, places, and feelings. You know the feeling at Christmas, the feeling like time moves so slowly, the feeling like you can fly, disappear, leap tall buildings. I didn't have room for all these, so I stuck with, "No Fears."
Here are my "jazzed" up Pages 1 and 2:
Oh, be sure to click on Wendy's 12 Days of Christmas ATC Swap button on my sidebar and join in on the fun.
Toodles for now!

Angela, I love the old patterns you found. I have a few I found that I am hoping to someday actually make. Your journal page is so true, being an innocent child with no fear or understanding of what the grown up world is really like. Very sentimental. Good job. I can see that this journaling really makes one think.
Hi Angela! I too love those olden patterns and the round, I'll call it a doily, is very lovely!
I'm still so excited! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
love you finds!!!! Happy creating!
Very nice finds...I think I still have some patterns from 1974 and before from my Mom! The No Fears page is so true for all of us these days...I was talking to my sons and they said that kids today haven't the freedom they did as boys...and I had much more than them!
Angela wonderful old patterns you found on the fleamarket and the doily is beautiful, I collect doiles to use in my art work, also a great page you have made.
