Last Saturday I did a bit of garage saling. Lucky me, I found a hee-yuge stash of vintage needlework magazines! These are old issues of McCall's Needlework for Knitting, Crochet, Home Arts & Crafts dating from 1947-1951.

Lucky YOU: I'm giving most of them away! Get excited right about...now:

They are full of fun, stylish illustrations and eye-candy! I have to confess that I love the ads even more than the articles. Especially this one:

Surrealist-inspired yarn ads? Yes please. Thank you.

I came away with nine issues from the sale (there was a huge box, but I practiced some restraint). Out of these nine, I'm keeping only three for myself. They have bold, beautiful covers and are hugely entertaining to peruse. I already have quite a lot of magazines like these, so I thought I'd share some of my stash with you!

♥ For this giveaway, each winner will receive two magazines ♥
