Bazaar Best Sellers!

I've had this book for years and years. Published in 1983, it is full of ideas (plus instructions and patterns) to inspire and even to improvise . I think you can still buy it on Amazon... for a reasonable price too.

With many bazaars and summer fetes etc imminent, here goes:

  3. I actively collect 'vintage' craft books as they are such fun. If you are able to see past the out of fashion fabrics they are still a great source of inspiration.

  8. Some things are just timeless, they don't seem to date. I think the Bazaar book is a bit like that, I could see a few projects that would be fun to do. Thanks for sharing the joy. hope you enjoy the fete season.

  9. Hi Sal,
    This book looks great..i have quite a few similar and lots of amazing old 'golden hands' magazines passed down from my 'auntie'' Shirley. Really great for inspiration and so nostalgic. I have enjoyed reading your last few posts about books and inspiration. I had all my gardening books out yesterday and sat in the sunshine planning and dreaming my little patch. Hope you don't get too hot in the greenhouse this weekend.
