I was down in Connecticut again yesterday- doing some more clean up at my parents house. I came home with a car full of 1970’s! I think my mom stopped throwing anything away in 1975. I am reliving my youth, looking through all the old magazines. I found most of a year of Ms. Magazine 1975- 76. Also some copies of Better Home and Gardens, Family Circle, Woman’s Day, and Glamour. There are French and English Fashion magazines and Vogue sewing books- those magazines that have all the patterns in them. I also brought home about 50 more Vogue designer patterns, probably 70’s and 80’s vintage- I can’t really tell. I am putting those up on ebay. I’m not sure what to do with the magazines after I look at them. Eleanor wants to have a yard sale to make money for traveling, so that might be where they go.

I also found some really good resource books on fashion history- one that I had been trying to find a used copy of! and buttons, fabrics, trims, family photos, and more. I always come home with some real treasures.

I had a very strange experience this evening. I was reading through my bookmarked blogs and came across my name twice! So weird!

Once, here at il Bloggo where she has links to pictures of artists studios. I love looking at other peoples work spaces!

Then again at the fantasticly linky blog Art for Housewives. She has a great list of links to all kinds of dolls.

It was a very busy weekend. Here I am at the Roxbury show… trying not to grimace for the camera.

The show was pretty much of a bust in terms of sales, but was lots of fun because of the people I met. Everyone who came and talked to me was interested and enthusiastic. Who knows, maybe someone who took a card will get back to me. As I always say, I am much more likely to find a buyer when I take them out of the house then when they are sitting up in my studio.

Below is a photo of the mini dolls on the stand I made for them out of K’Nex. I knew there was a reason to keep them after the boys had out-grown playing with them!
