(Please visit Suzanne at Colorado Lady for more Vintage Thingie Thursday fun!)I picked up a Best of Pack-O-Fun September 1959 - June 1960 issue a few months ago and thought I would share some of the November crafts pages with you today. It's so strange, I was born in the fifties but I have no memory of Pack-O-Fun. This book is so chock full of FUN (it's 280 pages long)! I know I would have loved them when I was a child.
Here are the more seasonal crafts included for the month of November:
A few recipes for vintage recipe lovers:
And some doggone cute vintage craft fun!
I had forgotten all about Little Lulu!
Super cutie button fun!
For bird loving seamtresses!
Here's one for our Suzanne, a multi-purpose Dachshund thingamabob!
I love the cabbage turkey - hahahah! Maybe I'll try that one. I have never heard of this magazine! Thank you for sharing. Gobble gobble. xox! Pam
ReplyDeleteThat cabbage turkey is hillarious. And the zombie head made from indian corn. Maybe people were more fun back then!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, thank you for a blast from my past! We always had this magazine in our house. I think my Mom used it for scouts and Sunday School, etc. That magazine was still being produced as late as the 90's because I used it with my dd's scout troop but it looked quite different than the earlier years. TFS, Nan
ReplyDeleteI never saw the Pack of Fun before. I actually like some of those ideas. I would have liked even more of them when I was a child.
ReplyDeleteI would have loved this back then. The button creatures are fun oh, and the cabbage turkey too!
ReplyDeleteYou really found a good one from the past. I enjoy most all books, but find the older ones are more interesting.
ReplyDeleteI so loved this magazine...I remember them in the late 60's and 70's. I was born in the 60's.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing; I always loved all the crafty ideas! I love the cabbage turkey!
Thank-you~
What a great find this is. I love this, these crafts look like so much fun and that cabbage turkey is hysterical.

Oh, I'd love a bird house spool rack! I have a spool rack that's a rooster and several that are birds, but I've never come across a bird house one.
