Children's Crafts - Hallowe'en Disguises from 1953
Sneaky disguises to cut out and wear, from the McCall's Golden Book, 1953 edition. This, alas, is not one of the ones you can download for free from the Internet Archive, but you can check it out to read online it in one-hour increments.

Quote Of The Day
The big doors of the country barn stand open and ready
The dried grass of the harvest time loads the slow-drawn wagon,
The clear light plays on the brown gray and green intertinged,
The armfuls are packed to the sagging mow. ~ Walt Whitman

Vintage Crochet - Potholders from 1949
Green and white potholders (or "panholders") from the August, 1949 issue of Workbasket magazine. Made in a t-shirt yarn, these would make nice hotpads, as well. A copy of this issue can be downloaded from the Antique Pattern Library.

Children's Crafts: A Dog Bookmark from 1964
From the February, 1964 issue of Workbasket magazine, a bookmark to cut out of felt. I would use ribbon for the tail.
This was trimmed out of a 8x5.5 inch magazine, so you will need to enlarge it a bit.
This issue of Workbasket can be found on the Internet Archive, which unfortunately is currently suffering from a prolonged and vicious DOS attack. I'll post the link when things are back to normal.
