Books

You gotta love book sales...every now and then our little library does a sale of donated books, and without trying I wound up there at the start of dollar bag day! Got some good stuff:

Gotta love old art books...the information pretty much stays the same over time! This one has a lot of good color images that I don't have in other books- some old art books are black and white... what's the point?

It's falling apart, but there's a lot of good info about how to make all kinds of paper flowers!

This Simplicity booklet is from 1940 and in good condition. My grandmother modeled for late 1940's Butterick and McCalls pattern catalogs when she was young, I'd love to find one of those!


I picked up this little book simply because the fabric cover is so cute- it'd be cute to prop up in a sewing room! The info inside is good too- it's a little encyclopedia of every type of fabric there is.




Old quilt books sometimes have good stuff, too.




Gotta love old 1980's craft magazines...sometimes there is good ideas and patterns that just need some streamlining and modernizing!


All for a dollar! Gotta love small towns.
