So I know these are puzzles, but I knew you my dear vintage lovers could appreciate the vintage illustrations. Just pretend they are not cut into little puzzle piece shapes ;)

Playhouse

Playtime Playhouse

Playtime Playhouse a "press out and set up" book which was published in 1968 by Western Publishing Company, and is really amazing. Don't take my word for it though, you can see all the pages here. It is the kind of book I might scan, print out and assemble, but I could never really punch out the pages from the book!

Our Easter Book
by Jane Belk Moncure
Illustrated by Mina Gow McLean

The funny thing about this book is the variety of illustrations, from full color watercolored looking illos, to 2 color prints, to ones that look colored with crayon. Love those bunnies
