Another Home Arts Needlecraft magazine, this time from August 1938. The covers make me laugh, sometimes they seem a bit random, but always cute.
Don't you love looking at the advertisements? I would love a tick tock alarm clock. Take note of the aprons the ladies are wearing in the sketches. Cute!
This is the back cover. Aren't the dishes pretty? So typical of the era.
A few summer dresses for the readers enjoyment. How about that housecoat?
And an apron! In a cute kitchen.
"A well ordered kitchen, well equipped and cheerful in color does much to cool the canning campaign."
"Cute" seems to be the word of the day, sorry!
Those are incredible magazine ads. I am smitten with all the information inside the magazine. Especially the Mid-Summer fashion dresses. Oh! how I wish I was the lady in the very last pic. And for that kitchen to also be mine...

I agree with you! Needlework magazines are a treasure trove of vintage delights!
DeleteI love looking at older magazines and advertisements. It truly gives you a peek into another time period.

It certainly does!
DeleteOh, that cover! Reminds me of the quilts during that time--the little sunbonnet girls. I may just copy that one to my file! Always enjoy seeing the fashions, ads, etc. Another winner, Heide!

Glad you enoyed it!
DeleteSo fun! I especially like the last picture with the lady in the kitchen. I love how the shelves are edged with the scalloped paper. Back then people had such an eye for detail!
ReplyDeleteThey did. I love the kitchen photo. The curtains are my favorite.
