It's been several weeks since I last participated. I even slid down the stairs on my rear so that I could retrieve a book (along with some crafting supplies) out of my craft room. I won't admit how many times I've done that this week (smile).
Today's book is one that I've had for as long as I can remember. The illustrator is Vernon Thomas. You may recognize her work. Many of these drawings graced Good Housekeeping magazine covers during the 1930s.Here are a few of my favorite pages and illustrations from the book.
This is one of my favorite illustrations.
It even inspired a kitchen shelf makeover.Thank you for the tiny pink watering can, Renee.
Happy Friday!Don't forgot to visit Corey's blog for more great vintage books and illustrations.

Hi Kim-I love the new look of your blog and this storybook is adorable. I couldn't resist clicking on the side button to see your dollhouse collection, but it took me to an Easter post. I will wait patiently....... Glad to hear you are recovering well.
Illustrazioni semplicemente....stupende!
Those are just gorgeous. I love those old illustrations. They make me think of happier, sweeter days. I slid down our steps a few weeks ago...seriously...MyHero came rushing to see "what was hurt"...nothing but my pride! UGH- xo Diana
Oh my, I LOVE that illustration of the little girl in the catcher's mask. That could SO BE Avery and Noah. She is so enamoured of him, I could completely see that scene being played out here!!
What a very sweet book!
Cute shelf!
I love the fact you are being "creative" in the way you are getting to your craft room!
A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!

So you told on yourself! heehee! You better take it easy! I sound like a Mom here but you really do need to rest! I love this sweet book and I think I'll join in later today. I just bought a Happy Hollisters book yesterday. I have a few of my favorite books here!
Glad you have figured out a few creative ways to get around. ;-) Just hope you don't end up with bruises on your backside to boot. (no pun intended) I love the illustration of Mary in her garden, in her little blue dress. So sweet.
You have the neatest books to share on Vintage Friday, Kim! I have very few from my childhood, but I may do a post on them someday. You inspire me!
So glad you seem to be making good progress! xoxo
Those illustrations are gorgeous. Well worth the trip downstairs.
Those illustrations are precious. I just love when you share children's books.
oooo! I'v got to check out that site for even more illustrations. Love them all, especially the one of the child being wind-blown.
I was wondering what the title of the book is? It is really adorable.
