Deep in a pile of papers. On questionable high piled carpet. I dug this remarkable booklet out of a dingy cardboard box. Probably shouldn't have sat on the carpet but oh well the things we do for treasures.
I imagine a trip to Sears, Roebuck and Co. to purchase vacuum bags or perhaps a screwdriver set.
The Mrs. on her way to checkout walked through the paint department dreaming of a new color for her den.
Mr. Sanders at the register offered up Sears latest color booklet to inspire her.
Could she talk Frank into Ming Blue?
After supper our Miss Kay will sit down and study every word. Possibilities are endless.
To be continued...next Friday.

Oh, we do what we have to do to get those sweet treasures, even if it is dirty! Which makes it even more worth it! ;) This is such a neat find! Can't wait to see what happens! If only the times were still like this. Have a lovely weekend! xo Heather

Oh my goodness! Warm colors, cool colors, it's so 'home ec' when I was in Jr. High School! Let us know when you create the perfect home floor plan will you? We would love to learn too!

Love this! I am a child of the 50s, maybe this explains why I think everything has to be color coordinated.
Hi Renee, You know I just learned that all of these perky brochures were meant to keep women at home after they had to give up the jobs they took during WWII. A whole generation of cinched waited women falling in love with carpet. Who knew! PS Wish I lived then! Such a fun post! E
