Here is a great book I found in my thrift store shopping. I really do have a good eye for finding great books on their shelves.
Crafts for Everyone, Volume 2, Louis V. Newkirk, LaVada Zutter, 1951.
Sharing some projects from the book: Patchwork Apron
Yarn Dolls
Shell Jewelry
Catch-All Bag
Wire Party Dolls
Christmas Tree
Now I am on a mission to find a copy of Volume 1 - Wish me luck!!

The patchwork apron pattern is just like several vintage aprons I have. I remember the little yarn and wire dolls and haven't we all seen those little "dress" catch-all bags? Very interesting. You should try alibris.com for your volume 1. I will look for it too. Love T
Wow - that sure does look like a great book! Thank you for sharing some of the great pages inside!
Oh my! I stopped by to say how much I enjoyed your story on my Giveaway post, I adore that you love your sisters so much, and find just the perfect posting for me! I have printed off the craft page to make the wired majorette doll (I have an affinity for them) and can't wait to make it! Thank you so much for sharing your memory with me. I am having such fun reading each story! Elizabeth

Back from work I must tell you that I made the little majorette from your vintage craft book. I just love it! You are so kind to share, and I will post your blog under my little doll for others to enjoy! Thank you again! Elizabeth
Thank you so much, Elizabeth - how delightful to see that you made something from Lori's book!
Hi Heidi! Just found you through Creative Breathing...what a lovely blog you have! I'm a California girl as well--Monterey area--just wanted you to know that, thanks to you, I just found and ordered the "Crafts for You" book--love it! I LOVE everything vintage, and it just really jumped out at me--thanks for sharing!
I'll be back for more visits! Hope you're having a wonderful morning!
Me again! Just realized that there's more than one of you posting here! I found your blog due to Heidi's comment, but it's actually Lori's book! So, thank-you, Lori!
Great book! I love the apron pattern.
