EVST Daily Dose 8.28.08

Hello All,

My name is Debra aka "Dahlila." I'm a fellow Etsian. My vintage shop is DahlilaFound. I'll be taking over for Justine on the Daily Dose as she is ubber busy with her new job. I'm sure she will be lurking about though so let's all wish her the very best!

So, today I'm all about ephemera, paper, art, scrapbooking supplies. I found this fabulous vintage find over at AnnDouglas: Child Life Magazine, 1945. The cover alone is worthy of framing; instant vintage art for your stylish abode.

Ann's Description:

There is also a small rip on face of boy (paper is still there, so damage can be repaired). Name "Beck" has been written on cover and title page of magazine. Cover condition: fair. Interior pages in very good to excellent condition."

Thanks so much for featuring this issue of Child Life, Dahlila. I love the cover, too.

I've been to your shop many times and know you have a great eye for vintage -- and a very fun writing style. Welcome to your new beat.
