Right when things were really hoppin' on the John C. Krogh farm near Columbus No. Dak., the May issue of Farm Journal arrived in the mailbox.
Grab a cup of tea and a comfy chair and we'll look through it together.
What a pretty cover!
I'll admit, I bought this particular issue from my happy place, Vintage City, because of the cover. I created a strawberry centerpiece for my table and wanted to add it to my "strawberry" collection.
Here are some photos of the inside of this May 1941 Farmer Journal.
I found this Spring/Summer list of things to do quite interesting! "Ask your neighbor to come and see your tulips."
Now, there's a more "realistic" photo of a 1950s refrigerator. Usually, in illustrations they are neat as a pin, with everything lined up and stacked neatly.
The mom of all Oopa Loopas---and her neatly organized refrigerator.
I really LOVE this vintage stove! "Vintage kitchen goals, people!"
I like that the stove top has a cover that can closed when not in use.
The clock and light are special little touches that just add to its vintage loveliness.
Here are some cute dresses (my mother will love these.)
I personally like the first and third one. I don't care for the ruffles on the middle one, but if someone offered it to me, in my size, I wouldn't say no. I find it interesting that two of the girls are wearing gloves. In my earliest days of dressing vintage I wasn't sure gloves were worn in the early '40s but they were!
Yummmmmm, rhubarb pie.
And that's all for today. I hope ya'll enjoyed perusing this magazine with me. Until another time, have a happy, vintage day!
