Happy Halloween Cat, A 1930's Find!

I've been so busy creating my new recipe blog CHARMING VINTAGE RECIPES that I haven't posted some of my recent thrifty vintage finds. So today, I want to get started sharing with you an interesting discovery I made a couple of weeks ago when I found a beautiful 1930's scrapbook in an antique mall in Ohio.

I became instantly enraptured with the wonderful works of art snipped and saved by a young woman many years earlier. Some of you will remember the gorgeous greeting card scrapbook from the 1930's that I purchased last spring...well this scrapbook came from the same antique mall. I could hardly believe my eyes when I found a name on one of the pages and realized this book had been created by the same young lady! This was a "had-to-have" vintage item.

And, once we returned home and I had a chance to look through the entire collection of art illustrations, I knew I'd want to show you each and every page...which I will be doing as time goes on! I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I do!

This picture of the Halloween Cat named "Patty Cat" seemed like the perfect page to start with! Isn't she beautiful!

    That is a surprising and delightful find. I call it a Godincidence, rather than a coincidence.
    Handsome cat too, thinking deep thoughts like our cats do, from time to time.
