The 1950s

Hi Everybody!

It is lovely and sunny here in Berkshire, but we had the most

dramatic thunderstorm last night!

I have had a busy week, and am feeling virtuous, as I tidied the storage cupboards in my loft studio. If you do textiles and mixed media, plus craft, you will know exactly the sort of things I keep in there! It is always good to have a sort out, and I found a lot of forgotten treasures in my stash!

A quick collaged tag for me this week. I have used a happy 1950's housewife. The kitchen came from a feature in the April 1957 issue of House Beautiful.

which said:-

 " Colorful Kitchen

This colorful kitchen is worth your minute study. 

There are no wasted

steps in serving meals or in cleaning up: 

A drop-leaf cart carries food from range I

and refrigerator to

 table in one trip. The folding doors of 

the dish cabinet 

open at touch place contents within easy reach."

I have added a housewife, who is happily baking, and an advert for an iron, in the days when receiving one for a Christmas gift could make you dance around the kitchen for joy! There is a gingham border, because I feel sure that her wardrobe would include gingham somewhere!

Last week's Roses tags were all very inspired and inspiring, a good choice of subject, thanks Carolyn! I do hope more people join in, as it is much more fun with a larger group. Off to look at your tags now!
