Hors de Combat

 My desktop is kaput. Geek Squad says they'll have a new one for us on Thursday.

Caturday!

Vintage Crochet - a Ringing Bells Edging

 

From Workbasket magazine.  This was another "orphan" page, so I'm guessing the 1950s but not sure. Left-click to enlarge.

Vintage Magazines - Argosy All Story Weekly

 March 8th, 1924.  Poor Horace Howard Herr appears to have slipped into obscurity, like James B. Hendryx and William Patterson White (the books of both of whom can be found on the Internet Archive and White, in particular, is a fun read).

When did men in Westerns stop wearing those wristguards?

Caturday!

Vintage Knitting - Doll Bootees from the Workbasket

 

I spent eight hours yesterday at a seminar on mental health first aid for children and youth, and by the time I remembered I had not yet posted a Tuesday craft project, I was on my way to bed.

(We spent most of the afternoon on substance abuse and then suicide prevention, and it was a bit draining).

This is from a 50's vintage Workbasket magazine, "especially made for the young Miss who wants her doll dressed like a real baby."  Unfortunately I got it in a thrift shop haul that included a plastic bag of pages torn from various craft magazines, so I can't identify the issue.  EDITED TO ADD:  Blogfriend Martha located it - July of 1959 and it's available at the Internet Archive.   Thanks, Martha!

When April steps aside for May,

Like diamonds all the raindrops glisten.

Fresh violets open every day,

To some new bird each hour we listen. ~ Lucy Larcom
