Well, I'm not really into vintage all that much. But the weekend after tax season, I had a chance to stay home and start sorting through some stuff in closets.
One of the things I enjoyed, was looking through a bunch of old Etude magazines. The oldest was way back from 1908!
Then, I did probably the unthinkable (for someone wanting to save old things in perfect condition). I ripped out pages.
Yup. I did.
It was such a big stack of magazines, and I really liked only some of the articles, pictures, and music in them, I decided to keep what I found useful, and get rid of the rest.
It was a nice feeling to get rid of the huge stack.
I kept this one advertisment for Cream of Wheat.
Mathew looked at me funny when I hung it up in the kitchen. But, I like it for some reason, and I guess I can always change it later :)
The other picture I kept was this old cartoon for on top our piano.
I actually pasted it to an old green cardboard, and glued a black ribbon around it for a frame.
I'll have to let you know about the great articles I kept (about "How to be Charming") in a later post :)

I like them. I really like the Ad, it is the style I have in my kitchen.
I think the Cream of wheat is perfect for a kitchen! I enjoyed looking at old Etudes, they were like a bit of history but not really too useful as I a not in their league of writers. Cutting and choosing what you wanted is a great idea.
