Nooks

i have small collections of  'things' around the place. 
some are nice enough to share.
 my fave in this stack?  the pears cyclopaedia from the early 1930's. 
and the ball of hemp twine tucked in the corner.  

i was recently asked to make a large vintage paper wreath and rather than the usual music sheets i chose to use pages (and pages) from old encyclopedias and vintage magazines, including 'radio television and hobbies' and 'the illustrated carpenter and builder' both from 1960 and both filled with wonderful advertisements and a whole heap of technical information. 
 there was even an ad for an in-car car phone!


thanks for popping by and please say hello!
