Happy Vintage Thingie Thursday to everyone!

If you happened to read my Rednesday post this week, you'll know that we went to the Long Beach Antique and Collectible Market last Sunday (really a large swap ... I just typed "swamp" teehee! ... as I was saying, really a large outdoor swap meet, flea market thingie, not an Antique Mall) and that I got a charming book about a doll. Well, my other big treasure of the day was a childrens craft booklet from 1928. It's entitled "Something To Do for Every Day", published by McLoughlin Brothers.

The vendor was a delightful man and he told me that McLoughlin Brothers was bought out by another famous company ... well I was so head over heels in love with my booklet (and worrying about whether the other books I wanted to get and had left behind, would still be there waiting for me!) that the name did not remain long in my middle aged brain. WAH! So I just looked it up now ... Google to the rescue!

McLoughlin Bros. reached its heyday in the 1880s and was a prolific manufacturer of games until the company was bought out by Milton Bradley in 1920.

I adore craft books and the cover of this one was too precious to pass up, I didn't even care what was inside. Well ... the inside is just as cute. Yeah!

Here is some of the cuteness inside ...
