For Vintage Buffs....Sears, 1939!!
These are pages from a Fall 1939 Sears catalog. Be sure to click on the photos for a close up view. Check out the prices!!
Just wanted to share them with you! Hope they make you smile as much as I did when browsing through this antique catalog. My mother gave this catalog to me when I was doing research for a book set during this time period.
The fabric behind the catalog is one of my favorite antique fabrics...it is from about the same year.
Enjoy!

Final thoughts...
Thank you for visiting today. Feel free to sit for a spell and wander through my archives of sewing projects, aprons, original poems and stories, musings and vintage treasures. I really love guests in my home....and if you wish, leave me a comment so I will know you were here! AG

That's a gorgeous catalog! Look at the fabrics and the APRONS! Good thing that one didn't end up in the outhouse~lol
I sat down and thumbed through this whole catalog tonight...it is amazing. China hutches went for 16.75....those same cupboards in the antique stores are $500 and $600! I am so glad that I have this catalog...such wonderful history in it!
Amazing pictures, the fabrics are so fabulous, and the sewing machine....what a treat to see them
