I was antiquing recently in Decatur, IL and found this amazing collection of old magazines called “Pack-o-fun” It is billed as the only SCRAP-CRAFT magazine. As you can see from the pages I photographed each magazine was filled with all kinds of projects that focused on using scraps,craft items and things found around the house.
How fun. Sadly I only took pictures. Now I wish I had purchased a few.
I love, love going antiquing — but I only buy what I can use (I do not have “collections.”). Hence, my whole home in done in antiques. And the things that aren’t antiques do not even come close to durability. My theory when shopping, if your heart is interested buy it, as you will find the right spot or thing to do with it. Thanks for showing the pictures — you need to go back and buy!! (P.S. I have 2 brothers who are dealers and make a “very good” living from antiques — and yes, I do get gifts from them and, further, that is why I love vintage art.)
