Early vintage halloween magazine images are hard to come by. I put away a 1910 page from a "Ladies Home Journal" sometime ago unsure what to do with it. Each volume featured a page focused on entertaining, these typically included table setting, menu and theme ideas. Went looking for it and managed to tear it! Easy decision now, use the images to make a vintage Halloween gluebook page. For some authenticity I have used only vintage images including the sheet music background and glue - the same supplies that would have been used in the day. No glitter, no modern embellishments, no inking or stamping! This will go into a Victorian scrapbook I have been making similar pages for. The page size is 8 x 11, I have left a one inch margin on the left where the page will be punched to add to my scrapbook. If you click for the larger image I am sure you can read the menus. None of these tables would be out of place now except the suggested price of the decorations and menu items at $9.00 for up to 12 people LOL
I am linking this up to the September challenge at Unruly PaperArts - gluebook pages.
Very neat Halloween images! I've never tired doing a Glue Book. I bet it's fun! I'll have to give it a try someday. Thanks for sharing!
