I’ve come across some wonderful music for autumn and Halloween that are just in time for some fall crafting. The first 2 are from a 1908 school songbook called, “American School Songs”. The next 2 songs were from a children’s songbook called, “The Music Hour”. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do and find wonderful projects to use them on. Blessings, Angie

August 22, 2012 by 4 Comments
Since it’s back to school time, I thought I’d share some great images featuring the alphabet. I bought these old metal tabs at an antique store. They previously were used inside of filing cabinets to separate files by letter. Here is the whole alphabet as individual letters. I think there are at least 101 things you could do with these, so I hope you do something fun with them! If you are wondering where #13 went, the letters on it {Read More}

This image came from a 1923 chocolate recipe book, published by Walter Baker & Co. I sure would love to get my hands on one of the original cocoa tins – it’s a little work of art! They are perfect for a winter project, when we all want to sip lots of hot cocoa! Walter Baker and Company is the oldest producer of chocolate in the United States.

Today’s gorgeous images come from “The Cyr Readers – Book 2” & “The Beacon First Reader”.The Cyr Readers was a reading textbook for young school children and was published sometime in the early 1900’s. My book was falling apart, so I don’t have the page that might have included a date. The Beacon First Reader was published in 1913. Not only are the illustrations wonderful, but I love the phonetic spellings included to help the child read the words and {Read More}

I’ve come across a few, but none of them were affordable, but I hope to get one {Read More}
