Don't you just love these older pictures? I love the style of art, the colors, the style of houses... I'm especially interested in magazines published right before the Crash. Makes me really think about how fast one's life can change.
I love the peaceful atmosphere of the garden. I could spend an afternoon in a place like this, just reading and listening to the birds.
Shay - too true. It looks so inviting. There should be a big pitchers of lemonade and ice tea and something yummy to snack on.
I have a needlework/embroidery scene of a cottage hanging in my home that my grandmother did in 1929. My mom seems to think it was a Better Homes and Gardens pattern, but I can't find any info. I wonder if the pattern could be in your magazine.
Wendy, I finally had time to check the magazine; I'm afraid I don't see any needlework offers, just credit for the artist.
