I recently went to the Arts Crafts and Antiques Fair at the Claremont Showgrounds. While I was there I came across some Australian Home Journal's from 1956 and 1957. The designs are just coming back into vogue (See Karen Walker in Myer and the latest catwalk collections at LV) . But the most fantastic thing is that the patterns were still enclosed!
The advertisements were also quite interesting, a mail order Camphor wood Glory Box and some rather quirky ads claiming to banish 'bad fat' with a pill (well some things never change!).
