Home Journal = High Love

This is the first time I've seen inside a 'Home Journal', this one, from March 1965, was $2 at the Oppy. I'm really glad I found it. I've seen them on e-bay, but had no idea what was inside. I can feel a new addiction coming on! I love the interiors and the fashions, I'm not so keen on all of the content, but find it amusing.

Thrifted Heaven!

A fabric fanciers dream come true, and just as I was loosing faith in my Op Shop! It's had a renovation, and the prices have gone up, fabric has been thin on the ground, and then I found this! It's printed on both sides, and is a heavy cotton/canvas, my favourite panel is the little girl with her dog feeding the chickens. It fits perfectly across Little P's door, but that involves big D getting the drill out!

Pink

I'm so down with this 70's kid's room, you rarely see textiles used in this way in modern interiors, it's a shame really. I'll always take curtains over blinds any day!

1975 - Stamp from Israel

psychedelic arbor day stamp from israel 1975 Originally uploaded by Grain Edit.com

I'm playing this game, with Pip and Co.
Type a year into Flickr, then choose a photo from that year to post to your blog.

I'm really taken with this stamp, the colours, the design -I just love it, I do harbour a secret passion for stamps, I can really see why people become such avid collectors. Not only are they a great sign of the times, they are probably the smallest little art works in our lives. I really don't need to start collecting anything else, but I do have two little books full of Aussie stamps from the 60's and 70's, that I just couldn't bare to leave at the Oppy!
