5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful Vintage Holiday Greetings, December 7, 2008
This review is from: A Victorian Christmas: Sentiments and Sounds of a Bygone Era (Hardcover)
When we reviewed this book for our website, the Erik Homemade(R) studio really enjoyed the book for the pure inspiration is stirred in all of us. The postcards from Ms Cockrell's collection are wonderful and the poems, thoughts, and sentiments should prove useful for today's crafter, whether for embroidery, cardmaking, or scrapbooking. The book has interactive lift-up pages, not to mention the pull out gift card on page 2!

The CD is sombering and meaningful. Mr Baldassari's mandolin interpretations are thought-provoking...

Anyone who loves the idea of a vintage Christmas, from collectors to crafters will enjoy this book and the enclosed CD will only add to the delight!
