Good Morning, Another week begins. It's cloudy but not raining today and I hope to go walking shortly. It being Monday I'm doing laundry and later I hope to do one more of the tasks I had set for myself this week with my hubby gone. I left this one to the last because I've been dreading it. Making sense of a stack of photos from the past year which I haven't put into albums. Oh well, it will keep me busy and once it's done I'll try not to let things get into such a mess again.
Not much in the way of pictures this morning so I thought I'd show some pages from one of my Smash books ( much like scrapbooks in case you are not familiar with the term). I believe these were from the 1950's. GM

I am not familiar with smash books, but I love the clothes that are pictured.
ReplyDeleteI love the old patterns! My mom had a dress like the one on the right in the first photo....
ReplyDeleteNever heard of a smash book but is a lovely idea.
ReplyDeleteMonday comes around mighty fast!!
Yes, my mom also had some dress in this style. It was a happy time of new hope here in Europe after the terrible war and the rescue from Amerika!- -
ReplyDeleteI remember smash books. Love the very fragile looking tea cup.
ReplyDeleteOur world has changed so much. Look at those ads!
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope you show more from your Smash books...that's a pretty teacup!
ReplyDeleteI've not heard of smash books, but love the old fashion illustrations. My mother and her sisters dressed very much like that.
ReplyDeleteI love the clothes of that era. Can you imagine those prices now? I would love it. I wear mostly dresses and love the comfort. I had never heard of smash books either.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
Enjoyed the patterns, reminded me of my Mother. She was a great seamstress and made most of my cloths.
ReplyDeleteOh that teacup is stunning 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 those smash books are really neat!! I hope you were able to do the picture sorting ❤
ReplyDeleteA joy to see the old patterns. I have never coe across the term smash book before. As always a delight to see the teacup from your collection.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh I love those smash books! More photos, please! I could look through those all day! And your teacup collection is beyond gorgeous. I love the fancy gold work on that one. I hope your task with sorting goes by pleasantly. Then it will be DONE!
ReplyDeleteI love these old fashion patterns and styles. Look at the prices! Times were so plain and simple back then. I just looked back at your last two posts and enjoyed them. The colors in your wordless Wednesday pictures are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love the old patterns too. The one on the left in the first picture is my favourite.
