Mjolk och Lingon blogged about her housewife lexicons
from the 1950's last week.
I got the same series but mine looks slightly different.
I got the whole lot for about 75 kr at a flea market in
Sweden many years ago. ($10, £6, €7)
Anyway, we both like the craft book and I actually tried
one of the projects out.
I made a coaster for the coffee pan, out of wooden pegs!
I know it's a bit whimsical and it looks a bit wonky but
it was fun to at least try.
Here's my result:
I'm awfully busy finishing my fascinator hats and hair-
flowers, more to come tomorrow!

My grandmother had quite a few of those coasters!!! They were all kinds of colors.. Can't wait to see your fascinators and stuff. Where do you sell it?
Shabbat shalom! :)

Stefanie Valentine: I also made a handbag out of lolly sticks, two years ago now. :))
My mom made coasters out of lolly sticks and wooden beads when she were preggers with me, wish I kept them.
Daisymay: Thanks hun. My man want me to make a full set now. :))

Bara bokryggarna var ju värda pengarna. Snyggt!
