Since it's the last day of 2012, New Year's Eve Day this will be my last posting for 2012. This year flew by so fast. It was a busy year for me, and I didn't get to do much art to share here on my blog. I don't know where the weeks and months went to. As a child, time goes by slowly and as an adult the years just go too quickly.
I thought I would share with you two old periodicals I found in a box in the bottom of the closet in my craft room this morning. I had forgotten that I had them. Years back I bought a large stack of old 1800's magazines for 10 cents each at a library sale. Someone had donated the magazines and the women running the sale didn't know how to price them. Eventually they came up with the price..10 cents for each magazine. I helped them bag up the stack and I couldn't pay for them fast enough and get them to my car. I was so thrilled with my find that day. I guess I need to keep digging thru the closet to find the rest of my old magazines. I really hate tearing them up to use in art projects. I could photocopy the pages to use in my collages I suppose. Do you have that same problem, using one of kind vintage items?
Below are 2 Wood's Household Magazines..cost $1.00 for a years subscription when they were published.
April 1871
July 1872
I hope you all have a wonderful New Years Eve celebration. We will stay home tonight. No big celebrations for us, but we will probably order Chinese food for our dinner. Like most years lately, I will be fast asleep before the clock strikes midnight and I won't see the ball drop in Times Square on the television.

What a fun find! I do share your reluctance to use vintage and antique ephemera, but am working on trying to stop hoarding it. Happy New Year to you!
