i love school girl annuals, i have a few old ones....the inside sleeve of this one is sweet...
another favourite vintage illustrator/author is
Joan Walsh Anglund
her 'little' people are adorable...they have the sweetest faces!
this page is from 'Childhood is a time of Innocence'
It is big stairs and
small footprints.

Baking at Christmas time
Oh I love Joan Walsh Anglund. One of my favourite childhood books was What Color is Love.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
I have a secret...

I sit on the floor in front of my children's bookcase and thumb through their books when I need inspiration. They have so many.. and it's not like they are going to read them all... and we all know that books disintegrate if they are not read! Won't they?
it's seems as if we have the same taste in music. I love ABBA too!
I am having a giveaway over at my blog.. you are welcome to come over and join in.

cute...esp the little girl going up the steps. seems I missed the week of vintage too - So much happens in Blogland in the space of a week!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a talent for finding the most adorable images. I love the beach one and the Christmas baking image. It makes me want to get out my colored pencils and play.
ReplyDeleteI adore Joan Walsh Anglund! Thanks for posting these images. Luv!
ReplyDeleteAww the last two are super-adorable!
ReplyDeletethese remind me of my childhood so much :)
ReplyDeleteI loved Joan Walsh Anglund when I was young....I remember her drawings were always in one of the women's magazines that my mother got...could it have been McCalls?? Not sure...but speaking of that, I remember when that magazine came with the paper doll (and clothes) every month....Betsy McCall !! Kind of the forerunner to how Mary Englebreit includes paper dolls every month in HC.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness. i just love these cute illustrations. i especially love the ones from joan.
ReplyDeletecute post, and blog! :)
