Vintage Book Bonanza

During my last junking expedition, I hit pay dirt on vintage books. In fact, I found so many fabulous specimens that I have enough material to do a 3 part post.

Part 1: Domestic Arts ~ Cooking, Raising Children and Painting

I got cookbooks, a vintage A.A. Milne and, as a bonus, an Erma Bombeck classic.

L*O*V*E this mama hen. Attitude and a polka dot apron.

When you are feeling artsy fartsy.


So pretty!

Oh I HAVE to come back for dysfunction day!
A.A. Milne is always a favorite even tho I no longer have any little ones around, In fact, I bought one yesterday.
I was in the store looking for a child's board book to alter for an art clss.
So I guess the painting book is my favorite of this post.

LOVE the phrase "artsy fartsy". Cuz I'm an "artsy fartsy lovin'" kinda gal. Old books are just the best--I used to buy the How To Paint books when I was a kid but no matter how hard I tried my stuff NEVER came out looking like it was supposed to!
