Good morning Tuesday,
My morning plans got changed, frustrated I spent time in my craft room and made a journal page for Art Journal Journey's theme Vintage
I still have several Ideals magazines that I have kept since the mid '60s so guessing those are vintage now. I spotted a poem and photos of butter molds so decided that was perfect for my page.
I grabbed the background paper from my paper stash, cut out the butter molds and the poem and it's title. I printed off photos of the butter churn and someone that reminded me of my Grandma churning butter and added those to my pages.

My Grandmother always had Ideals magazines in the 40s and 50s that would surely be vintage now. My family ended up with some of them when we visited as kids, but I don’t know where they are now many decades later. They were so lovely, so is your page.
ReplyDeleteFun journal pages, great idea! Thanks for joining us at AJJ! Love photos, too. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeletethank you for visiting Valerie-hugs
DeleteGreat idea for your page, I have a butter mould somewhere. Thank you for joining us On Art Journal Journey.
ReplyDeletethank you so much-I love your theme
DeleteA butter churn is definitely vintage. And those butter molds are pretty. Too bad you can't find butter made in molds. I am sure maybe someplace, but not any where I've seen. What a great page Kathy. Thanks for sharing it with us for Wendy's challenge at AJJ. And love the beautiful sky photos too. Happy mid-week. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThat would be a cool thing to find-butter formed in the molds. I had a few of these butter molds, and when I churned butter I used them-but I couldn't get the butter out of the molds in one piece-there must be a secret to that.
DeleteHappy mid week hugs
Your vintage journal page is near and dear to my heart. I grew up helping my mother make butter so know the process well. I have a few butter molds, but sadly not one of mother’s. How beautiful the lake was this morning. What a way to start the day!
ReplyDeletewhat special memories with your Mother. The lake was lovely this morning-it is different every morning-love that
DeleteThe morning sky is just stunning! And I love that vintage butter mold.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting
DeleteI think I have a couple of copper butter molds. I think mine are not as flowery as some you used on your page. I've never heard of Ideals magazine, but I love your butter churner and the molds. This is perfect for Wendy's theme at Art Journal Journey, too, dear.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth. Not sure if this magazine Ideals is still around-it was all photos and poetry
ReplyDeleteCool 60´s work!
ReplyDeleteAnd ohhh, your beautiful lake!!!
good morning I am noticing the sky seems the prettiest most days when it is cooler but then we had that gorgeous red sky last month I think we have been more hazy do to the wildfires out west over the summer
DeleteVery nice. A craft room is a perfect place to take frustrations. Creating is like free therapy.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely wiev !
ReplyDeleteA super post to read with all the lovely photos. Its a fantastic journal page you created for AJJ as well, so much work was involved to make butter all those years ago, now its so easily available.
