I hope someone wants to enjoy this paper magazine book from 1947. It is so incredible! It is no longer sewn together and has to be handled with care, but all the pages are there. This was packed away in a trunk and I remember mother using it at alter guild meetings to get organized for the craft sales at church. The aprons are detailed and organized so they can be made for the Christmas bazaar. The baby bibs are so special and the patterns are easy to read. Lots of the pictures make me laugh with remembering those good old days. I wouldn't recommend carrying it around in a bag or backpack, it is too old, I don't know how it stayed intact all these years except for being in trunk. We used it in girl scout badges work also. It measures 8 x 10 1/2 inches.

In this practical book, learn how to make beautiful, folk mobiles - also known as 'pajaki' - to decorate your home or event space in show-stopping style. Suspended from the ceiling comes a colourful cascade of cut-outs, pompoms and paper flowers. These richly ornamented chandeliers have caught the attention of interior and design shows across the world and, in her first book, Polish artist Karolina Merska demonstrates everything you need to know to master making these beautiful mobiles. From the traditional to the contemporary, there are 15 projects for every interior and skill level with step-by-step instructions throughout. Let your imagination run wild, as Karolina shows you how you can make striking pajaki with simple materials including rye or paper straws, yarn and even fresh flowers. The practical section of the book helps you to master the building blocks of pajaki - from intricate paper flowers and geometric decorations to delicate 'kalinka', 'hedgehog' and 'tube' pompoms - before showing you how to recreate Karolina's beautiful designs. You'll be guided throughout by straightforward instructions and the projects intensify in skill level and complexity as your confidence grows. Start by constructing a small beginner's mobile or mini Christmas decorations, then try your hand at more detailed projects including a fresh flower mobile that's perfect for weddings, a geometric pajak that any interior designer would covet, and a giant pajak with serious wow-factor. So hang your mobiles high and proud; combining history, heritage, time-honoured techniques and bright modern designs, you'll fall in love with making mobiles.

I know I am not alone when I say that I have a love of vintage paper. Old book pages, torn and tattered maps, discarded love letters, sheet music and wall paper, I love it all! These vintage relics with their worn pages and musty smell have a story to tell. I love adding bits and pieces of these found papers in the art I create. Scrolling through Pinterest and Etsy I found so many lovely paper arts giving these vintage papers a repurposed life. Here are a few of my favorites.
