This is our last week reading at District 87.  Baldur got a chew toy made by the junior high student council, and I got a very nice letter from one of the fifth graders, telling me how much they enjoyed talking with me, and how sweet Baldur was, then adding "...and you get me out of math class."

Vintage Tatting - An Edging from 1947

 

From Workbasket, October 1947, an intriguing variation on the standard "bunch of grapes" tatted Vandyke edging.  The entire issue (including another tatting pattern) is available as a free download from the Vintage Pattern Library.

It's worth noting that 1947 seems to have been the year that WB started running advertisements.
