Watch me as I try to share my two completed cookbook junk journals. They were so much fun to make - highly recommend you give it a try if you like to make junk journals. These will be listed in my Etsy shop www.etsy.com/shop/Vintagepolk... when this video goes live.
You can visit my blog at www.vintagepolkadotblog.com for how I did the spines and charms and for still pictures of these journals. I love to go back and look at people's photos after the video - am I the only one? I'd love to know what you think.
I will also have links of where I purchased items will also be in the blog posts.
If you would like to sign up on my email list you can do so here:

This is a great way to find out about sales and when I list "special" items in my Etsy shop.
Thank you so much for watching.

Your video just showed up on my KZfaq page today and I'm so glad it did! Love, love, love your advertising packaging incorporation in your journals and you have given me so many great ideas! I too am a vintage advertising lover and so enjoyed your video. Thanks (a few years later)!

When I was a kid ladies wore gloves anytime they were out. They also wore hats. In 1960 pillbox hats were all the fashion because that’s what Jackie Kennedy wore.

Almost every kitchen had one of these or a Betty Crocker one when I was growing up. You did a great job. ❤️

omg love this video. Just found you and I can't believe we are so close. I live in Canby. My daughter is an art/ English teacher and our summer journal project is a cookbook from a vintage cookbook like yours. Thanks for the inspiration . Angela from Oregon

Awesome journals Emily! I collect cookbooks and I just can't part with any to transform LOL I have books alll the way back to the 1800's. I also have a stash of vintage apron patterns as well as about 2 dozen already cut out in vintage fabrics. The pre-cut aprons were a find at the curb! It amazes me what was tossed when the parents passed away. Their Mom's entire craft/sewing room. My Mom & I loaded up all we could and kept the things we really liked and then donated the rest to a senior center for their crafting room. This was years ago but I still cannot part with those aprons! I did sew a couple together for my Grandma (she loves aprons) made her happy because they were like the aprons she had when she was a newlywed! lol

Love, LoVe, LOVE these! Thank you so much for sharing. You asked if we would be interested in any cookbooks on your Esty shop, and, yes, I would like to see what you have... when you settle in with your folks. I tried to find your shop and noticed it was down for now. As God reminds me, I will pray for you - tough stuff and busy time... Blessings! :)

these junk journals are amazing!!! love all the unique ephemera...magazines, flash cards, the rain bonnett OMG! where did you find it all?

@vintagepolkadotshop Жыл бұрын

That is a very good question- lots of years of accumulation. Love be all that old stuff - just can’t help myself. I mainly got it at estate sales and thrift stores and I swear some of it magically appears in my craft room 😆

Hi Chelsea - I know what you are talking about but I can't remember. I think I left it in and cleaned it but I'm not sure. Sorry

Did u say? Where’d u find a five hole puncher? Or paper for it?

@vintagepolkadotshop Жыл бұрын

I punched the holes one hole at a time. It sounds bad but I just made a template. I worked on one page at a time punched as I went instead of doing them all at once.
