Your trash….my treasures
I am a certified trash picker. I was at The Stamp Act on Sunday, while Jim taught the viking knit class. I was not even in the door 10 seconds and I saw wonderful treasures of old McCall’s magazines in the trash…..wow…..hold on…..what are they doing in there? Must be a mistake!
Gloria told me, the girls went through them and cut out what they wanted the night before. I had a blast. I spent 4 hours cutting out images and laughing hysterically at the ads. Especially the old ads for deodorant for women. “Use this rub on deodorant to prevent dress rot!” What a riot.
This is a blog I read often. http://annsart.blogspot.com. Ann uses a lot of vintage photos and ads in her work.
Jim loved the old Bell Telephone ad.
Here are some of the other images I collected. Some day when I have free time, I’ll make some collage sheets to download.
