Vintage October Poster
October's "Bright Blue Weather"
~ A Good Time to Read!
A wonderful vintage poster from the Library of Congress, dated back somewhere to the 1940-1950's.
I love reading on chilly nights, curled up on the couch with a warm blanket. Better yet: reading with my kids on that same couch!
So during this month of October, grab the vintage poster download, a book, and a warm blanket and enjoy!
The free download is at the bottom of this post. It does not contain the Crystelle Boutique trademark.
October Vintage Poster
I took a board, just kinda eyeballed the size of it, cut it off, painted it black. Sanded the edges. Added a piece of burlap to the front with some Mod Podge. Then adhered the print to the front. Adding upholstery tacks to the corners finishes it off.
Ta-da!
October IS kind of a good time to read......:
Scary stories......!

These are some of the party friends I link up to
....
September - Back to work, back to school, back to BOOKS
September is quite an adjustment for me and most other moms around the globe as we have to get use to the kids being gone all day, only to arrive home tired accompanied by piles of homework and other activities... Phew.....
Gone are the lazy days of summer....
September is quite a shock to the system!
But the weather is quite lovely I must say!
Mild...
Sunny...
Not too hot...
At least, that's how it is here where we live...
:-)
I love it...
Might be my favorite month.... {weather-wise anyway...}
making my own little 8x8 September collage
To celebrate September and the back to school craze, I printed of a Library of Congress poster dating back to the 1940-50's.
I just LOVE vintage posters and ads....
This Particular one reads something like this at the bottom:
Made by Illinois WBA{?} Art Project Chicago
{I am not sure what that middle word it... Perhaps one of you bloggy readers can read it better than I can....???}
September - Back to School Mixed Media Art
I printed my poster kind of smallish size, so I could make my own little mixed media 'art,'using the poster, a vintage flashcard, paint, vintage stamps, and lots of Mod Podge.
I love Mod Podge......
I had a lot of fun coming up with some extra details
Of course, you could save yourself a LOT of time if you just printed it off, and then popped it into a frame....
Imagine that...! Instant decor.....
Your printable version of this vintage September poster is a free download at the bottom of this post.
How are you adjusting to September?
