Joe Volmert, Mrs. Henry Schwartze, Mrs. T. S. McGee, Mrs.
Paul Hollenbeck, Mrs. Sarah Robertson, and Mrs. Anna Snodgrass. Miss Cowan, Clothing Specialist had many very interesting short cuts to show us. The two that we were all very interested in were quick overall patches and treads or reweaving.
If you would like some information on mending, we, have two bulletins "A C's of Mending" and "Mending Mens Stop by the Extension Office and get a copy of these bulletins to have in your mending supplies. The past few days I have seen some very interesting uses of the old time big picture frames being given a modern touch. Mrs. Wanda Copeland has a very nice shadow box with an old fashion frame used on the front of it. A boxed in part was made from scraps of lumber.
The lumber was inch thick and about 5 inches wide. The box was made so that it just came to the inside edge of the picture frame. So that the box had the appearance of being the picture. A shelf of the inch lumber was placed in the center, and she has another shadow box that has a plate glass shelf in the center. All of the wood on the inside of the box has been painted a light cream, and the outside of the box and the picture frame have been left in the natural wood color which is a very pleasing combination.
This makes a very attractive and easy to make shadow box. Why don't you look up in your attic and see if you might have an old frame that you could use? Mrs. Ben Creamer also has a very nice arrangement using six large picture frames. She wanted to use the large pictures (that were family pictures), but the dark frames were just too much of a contrast between her walls and the pictures. So she painted the frames to match her walls and then painted the section of the frame nearest the picture a gray color.
This gave her pictures a very nice mat around them. With this type arrangement you see the pictures and not the dark frames. I believe you could have some very nice pictures and still use your old fashion picture frames. Perhaps you could remove the old finish and use the natural wood color. However if the wood, plaste, gold or other trim on the frame has Top Hampshire Gilt Brings $235 at Knollmeyer's Sale Linn Hog Breeders Have Won National Attention--Sale Grosses $8000 A large crowd was in attendance at Knollmeyer's Hampshire sale at Linn Monday.
