Book Description

Nov 1 2011

In her newest volume, Susan Waggoner recaptures the magic of Christmases past with the vintage crafts projects readers have been craving. Inspired by the most sought-after treasures from the 1920s through the 1960s, Waggoner recreates a tempting array of decorations and provides step-by-step instructions that allow anyone to deck their halls with cellophane wreaths, glittered glass ornament balls, beaded bell garlands, and whimsical, tinsel-bedecked treat cups. Those pressed for time will also find quick crafts for every decade, along with style notes and decorating tips to pull it all together. Nostalgic bonus art throughout provides a host of images to use in greeting cards and photo holders. And to keep spirits merry and energy flowing, Waggoner includes a sampler of easy-to-make candy recipes, from Mackinac Island Fudge to old-fashioned soft caramels.

This book is what i had expected. I have some others from her. Nice vintage graphics and good information about what was happening at the time and a bit of history of the items. I like looking at the pictures.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed in the lack of pictures.. Dec 1 2011
By Ana - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was so excited about this book, having read the description and seen the cover, but i must admit i am pretty disappointed. There is a ton of text, and just not enough pictures, for this style of book, and the photos and layout it does have are not very inspiring. Martha Stewart's take on vintage christmas crafts are head over heels above what is in this book. The author's other books are so fun and colorful, so i was expecting more of the same, but it feels as if this book was thrown together to get it out before the holidays. Who wants to read long descriptions of christmas tree styles and ornaments from the different eras with so few photos or accompanying graphics? On sale, not a bad book, just not a great one..

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for Me July 12 2012
By Rose - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
The content is great so do not get me wrong BUT if it is pictures, examples, how-to's then DO NOT get this book. There may be about 20 or 30 or less clip art pictures.

If that is what your looking for then I would recommend DOVER Books (unbelievably low prices) online....which seemed to be this source for this book (although not for sure).

I always worry when they don't want to share "more" on the "LOOK INSIDE"...and even with what they do show it seems to give the impression that more clip-art or photo examples are included...which they are not...really....slightly disappointing...for what I was looking for/expecting.

5.0 out of 5 stars another classic "old-tme" Christmas book Jan 6 2012
By Wallace McMillan - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Once again, the author has struck the right chord for me in my quest for all things "vintage" --I was fortunate to grow up in the late 40' and 50's, so all of the old references and images really resonate with me. Many hours of enjoyable reading and remembering.
