Beauty Budget

This delightful little frame came from an article in the May 1922 issue of Woman's Home Companion. It sets your "beauty budget" for the week - referring to your budget of time. Each day had a certain focus, such as wrinkles, hair, and skin.

Congoleum Floor Coverings

I love everything about this ad, from the colors used to the way it is designed and styled. Also we get a tiny glimpse into a beautiful vintage bathroom and living room. The ad is for Congoleum Floor Coverings and I found it in a 1914 magazine.

Sheer, Lovely, Lasting Make-up

A lovely black and white illustration from 1942 for Translucid make-up, accented with pops of bright red text.

1920's Sports Fashion

The latest woolen fashions for sports, from a 1926 ad for Lux soap. I love the green chevron stripes and all the bright colors in this drawing.

Woodbury's Facial Soap

"What woman does not know that she is a thousand times more attractive when her skin is smooth and fresh and fair!"

This illustration is from a 1928 ad for Woodbury's Facial Soap. The slogan was "A Skin you Love to Touch."

A Sunny Corner

What an inspiration for a home office! If only I could have that exact floor, rug, curtains and flowers in my own home. This beautiful, sunny corner with a big desk and lots of plants was found in a 1934 ad for Armstrong Linoleum Floors.
