10 issues of Needlecraft Magazines from 1931. Very rare to have a complete year, These magazines have been lovingly stored in my 200 year old barn for 40 years. My wife who has the ETSY shop PetereneDesign has used them for inspiration over those years. We both went to Rhode Island School of Design and really appreciate the gorgeous graphics. They give wonderfully illustrated pictures of what life was like for Craftswomen during that time. You will find details of forgotten crafts that might just add a spark to your projects when applied today.
