It's that time of year again! Tomorrow is Caldecott day and I'm very excited! This year I have three favorite books that I'd love to see win. The first is <u>The Scarecrow</u> written by Beth Ferry and illustrated by the Fan Brothers.</div>

I was actually lucky enough to come across a signed copy at my local independent bookstore, Main Street Books! The story is very sweet and the illustrations are beautiful. As a girl who grew up in a rural area, I especially liked the two page spreads of the fields as they went from being covered with snow, to green, to gold as we roll through the seasons.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another favorite for the year is <u>Home in the Woods</u> by Eliza Wheeler. This is another book that takes us through the seasons. We follow a widowed mother and her children as they turn an old abandoned shack into their home. </div>

The illustrations are full of detail and expression. I'm not a gifted enough writer to fully explain all of my reasons for loving this book. All I can think to say is that there seems to be a sense of hope throughout the whole story, a hope that circumstances will be better as the seasons progress, a sense of hope that the cold little shack will become a warm home, with a pantry full of good food from the garden, and a table surrounded by a family that works and plays together. It reminded me much of the TV show The Waltons, (especially when they are "playing store" out in the yard. This book is on my wish list to own!</div>

I've liked the roadrunner brooch for quite some time (at least I think it's a roadrunner) , and was tickled it was still there! I've also had my eye on the red earrings for some time and was pleasantly surprised to see the white ones as well. My daughter is slowly getting into the vintage look and will borrow them to go with her modern-but-vintage-looking pink dress we picked up at a local consignment shop. </div>

After spending a little time arranging items at my Uncle Stan's collectables booth at a local market, last October, (he calls it fluffing things up a bit), he let me have a couple of swell Life Magazines! Thanks Uncle Stan! I'm not real good at arranging things, but am getting better with practice.</div>

This particular Life is from June 2, 1947 and has Jane Greer on the cover. Greer was an actress.</div>

This is an interesting story, below. Apparently, a boy was trying to break a flat piece of cement himself but couldn't, so he set it on the railroad track to let the train break it for him. The train derailed injuring 4 people. The police were unable to punish him, but "hope that parents of other clever children keep a close eye on them."----Now-a-days, that kid would've been in deep **** and the parents would've been sued. </div>

9 favorite artists in one great album. Includes North Dakota's own Peggy Lee. Also, Martha Tilton with Johnny Mercer, and the Pied Pipers.---I'll have to look up some of these artists and songs. I enjoy Martha Tilton and Johnny Mercer quite a bit and have some of their songs. </div>

I guess super markets have always been crowded. While I like our big grocery store here in the city, I miss the time when there were neighborhood markets. In fact, for a short time, I lived a block away from one and loved it. I preferred it for my "everyday" shopping. Sure, the prices were probably higher, and they wouldn't <em>always</em> have specialty items (had to go to the big grocery store for those), but for staples like bread, cake frosting, milk, pasta, cake frosting, soups, cheese slices, cake frosting, hamburger, etc. they'd do fine. (Yes, during my college years, cake frosting was a staple). The store even had a butcher in back and some of the best meats in town.</div>

Woot! Guess what I found at Vintage City! A vintage box of Brach's Chocolate Covered Cherries in Fondant. Well, it's not really a full box of them (cherries, chocolate, and all...that would be icky) It's an empty box, in good/great condition, and I'm so tickled that I own it now! (happy dance).<br />

Here are the few things I know about the box. Looking on Ebay, I found no other boxes exactly like it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, I did find a couple of listings for two-page-spread magazine advertisements for Brach's featuring the same box. One was from a 1950 magazine, the other from a February 1948 Life magazine. Therefore, I believe it is safe to say that my box is from that same era. I'm going to say the late '40s because I like that time period better *wink*. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next step--raid my 1948, 1949, and 1950 magazines trying to find a similar advertisement. That'll be fun! (And no, I'm not being sarcastic).</div>

The grounds of the hotel are beautiful, with many different kinds of plants, and trees. I enjoyed seeing birds, parrots, Koi fish and the waterfalls. It's amazing to think that someone designed all of the landscaping. Good job, whoever you are!</div>

There were many fresh water ponds that I think were somehow connected because one morning (the morning of the Taco Johns vendor show) the Koi fish all gathered at the pond next to the show. Maybe they wanted to see the latest in food temp software, seating packages, or the new Hockenbergs catalog. But no, they were there for food. We were at the right place, at the right time, and I was able to help feed the Koi! I know it was a "kids' activity" but I didn't care. (It's the simple things in life, people). <br />

We never pass up a chance to eat at Bubba Gump and weren't disappointed. Our waitress seated us right along the water, and the food was delicious as always.</div>

Here are some cute dresses (my mother will love these.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
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!</div>

<span style="color: red;">UPDATE!!!</span> Hello Lighthouse won! Sophie Blackall is the 2019 Caldecott Medal Winner!<br />
<br />
Monday, January 28th is Caldecott Medal Day! I'm excited this year because I have a favorite. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Hello Lighthouse</u> by Sophie Blackall was my favorite book of 2018, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will win the top prize, or at least get recognized with an honor medal.<br />
<br /></div>

I like the way the illustrator uses the book's height to show the complete cross-section of the tall lighthouse. There are so many details!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like her use of ropes and other nautical objects throughout the story to frame her pictures and to add to the story.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
But, as much as I love <u>Hello Lighthouse</u>, I have a gut feeling the book <u>Dreamers</u> by Yuyi Morales will take home the top prize. I picked up this beautifully illustrated story of the author's immigration from Mexico to the US while at my local library. I didn't think of it then, but am realizing it now that the timing for this particular book to win is spot on. I will be surprised if Dreamers doesn't take home the "gold".<br />

Just a short post today, but here is a vintage ad from Kleenex that I found in a stack of loose Colliers magazine pages. The pages were loose because back in the 1940s, my Grandmother used them to "beef up" the padding of her ironing board. Not long ago, my folks found the loose pages while dismantling the antique, wooden ironing board. I have photographed some of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This particular ad is very long and narrow advertisement positioned along the edge of the page.</div>

Kleenex were introduced here in the USA back in 1924, and at first were used as a means of removing makeup. It took a few years for the "use during colds" idea to become popular. I'm all for "living vintage" and using a hanky to dab at my watery eyes, but I can't imagine going through cold season with only hankerchiefs! Using a tissue just makes good sense!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
That's all for today! Until another time, have a happy vintage day!</div>

Once again this year, my folks and I traveled to rural Wolford, North Dakota to visit the Dale and Martha Hawk Museum for their annual celebration.<br />
Here I am in front of a 1941 Ford. The dress is one I sumbled upon at the local consignment shop. It is labeled Dress Barn and has kind of a late 30s-early 40s look to it. I added the little red belt buckle and wore my "Grandma Walton" shoes which are also reproduction by Nine East and also bought second hand.<br />
I wore a vintage string of pearls and vintage cameo earrings in black and cream.<br />
I like the way the dress fits me, but it was warm. The temperatures got up into the 80s and I was, to quote Ham in the Sandlot, "bakin' like a toasted cheese"<br />

This old projector is a neat item and fun to photograph. If I recall, these make a kind of ticking or whirring noise when they run. And if the film broke (which it sometimes did) the projectionist would have to quickly splice the film back together. <br />

Not sure why, but I like the looks of these cans. Dirty, old, household or garage type cans that normally would've been thrown away, tell us a great deal about everyday life back in the day.<br />
<br />
I also found it interesting that is says "Specially designed". I quickly googled that and learned that the word specially <strong>is </strong>correct (I had no idea). The word "especially" is used when singling out someone or something, "I like Neccos, especially those that are licorice flavored." But when something is made special for a <u>purpose</u> or <u>occasion</u>, then the word "specially" is used. "Shannan had a vintage refrigerator cake specially made for my birthday".<br />
<br />
And there was your grammar lesson for today.<br />

My mother ooohed and awed over this Royal Albert tea cup, saucer, cake plate, and maybe a salad plate and sandwich plate??? Good grief that's a lot of plates! I like the unique shape of the plates, rather than being round they have a somewhat scalloped edging. <br />

This next photo is very interesting to me as I am a diary/journal keeper myself. This is a weather diary kept by a local minister during the winter of 1935-1936. One of the things I find interesting about it is on February 15, 1936 the lows in the area were as follows:<br />
Gardena -61 below zero<br />
Willow City -63 below zero<br />
Parshall -60 below zero<br />
Now what find strange is that Parshall, ND holds the record for coldest spot in the state at -60 below zero on Feb. 15, 1936. But according to <strong>this</strong> diary, that honor (if you can call it that) should have gone to Willow City, ND for their -63 below zero. Maybe it had something to do with Willow City not having an "official" weather service temperature recorder person? (what a cool job that would've been).<br />

I pushed my crock pot towards the back of the counter top to make room for something and my little strawberry sugar bowl fell off the top of a canister and onto the cupboard. I could've saved it, but I glued the pieces in the wrong order and couldn't get the final little piece to fit.</div>

The new one is a smidgen bigger than the original but that's okay with me, the bigger the strawberry, the more sugar it holds. I love it. My Cheerioats will once again have a sprinkle of sugar on them each morning, and balance has returned to the kitchen universe.</div>

I found the snippet below to be quite interesting. Now a days, a gas or electrical company could possibly call to have your "unruly" dog put to sleep if it ever bit them...or maybe even sue you for a dog bite. *sigh* we won't get into how different things are these days compared to the old days...not today anyway. </div>

Here is another little towel I worked on in February and March. I gave it to my sister-in-law who kindly hosted Easter for my husband's family this year. She is quite the good cook and bake. I thought it fitting to give her an apron towel because not so many years ago she made me an actual apron that I love!</div>

So, this happened WAY back in February (I need to catch up quite a bit with my blogging). The folks and I took a second trip to Vintage City in February because they had vintage valentines for sale and I was greatly interested in purchasing some.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course, I walked away with much more than valentines!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first thing I spotted was this AMAZING little purse from (I'm guessing) the 1940s. For a Lincoln, I couldn't pass it up!</div>

This little apron, I had seen on previous visits, and finally decided to purchase it. But my mom is clever and managed to purchase it for me without me knowing! I tried it on and as she helped me to take it off, she turned around, quickly handed it to the owner to put with her items! So it was a gift from my mom, how sweet! Thanks mom! </div>

I just love the blue background color and the yellow edging. It hangs in my laundry room, and I have a tiny bit of mending to do on the bottom. It won't be worn because I don't want it to get dirty or stained, but it's really cute for display.</div>

And here are the sweet little Whitney Mage valentines that are older than the ones above. I'm pretty sure these are from the 1920s. There is a really interesting website about valentine history (link is below) that helped me find the dates of my valentines...Oh goodness, I think I've discovered a new obsession (eye roll).</div>

While at Vintage City I nearly fell over when I saw their new display of vintage magazines. I bought quite a few because they are like little time capsules! <br />

One of the magazines I bought at Vintage City was this 1953 Collier's with the grocery shopping mom with her rambunctious boys on the cover.</div>

I was surprised to see an article about VA Hospitals including the one that used to stand tall in our little city. This hospital no longer exists and from what I gleaned from the article, was never needed. Part of me was sad that they built the thing so big when it wasn't needed, but part of me was thankful that the need wasn't there. It wasn't FULL of wounded men and women coming home from the war. The building used to sit somewhere on the land where Burdick Job Corps is now, west of MSU.</div>

And I just LOVE when there are little notes jotted down in the margins of magazines or catalogs! It gives them a personal touch and makes me wonder who the scribbler was. I'm not sure what all the notes mean. Sweetheart 3:45-4 KFYR (KFYR was a radio and TV station in Bismarck ND back in the 1950s). Dragnet Sun NBC.<br />

The short story "The Little Bride" was quite interesting. It was about a newly married bride (the dark haired woman in the picture below) who has had a fight with her husband and comes home for a spell. She tells her sorrows to her younger sister (also pictured) and her mother. The wise mother of the new bride explains that she doesn't want to hear it....the bride needs to hike up her big-girl panties and head back home to work things out with her husband.<br />

After swooning over their large assortment of vintage magazines, I picked out a few, many I'd never seen before like the Household Magazine from 1941, Child Life from 1953 and Parents' Magazine. They are in GREAT condition and are like little time capsules. I'll do a few posts about these in the future.</div>
