Leggy Peg

I have a little thing for collecting old magazines from days gone by. 

Not like Woman's Weekly from 1993, but People magazine from 1953!

I was on the hunt the other day for old maps for a few projects I have in mind, 

so I went to an antique book store, 

and happened across a whole pile of Filmjournalen from the 40's.

My oh my, check out the beauty! 

I'm totally in love with this cover picture of Donna Reed, I might even have to frame it...

It looks like you don't want to mess with Ann Sheridan!

Apparently Lauren Bacall can make love to you, with only her eyes...

Meanwhile, Gudrun Brost looks like quite a saucy little lady, wearing a scarf as a top.

I think the back page ads are fantastic too!

On one of my recent (aimlessly wandering around the supermarket hoping for dinner inspiration to bite me on the bum) shopping trips, 

a packet of wooden pegs ended up in my trolley.

Not that we even have an outdoor clothes line, or even an indoor one for that matter.

I just love the simplicity of a good old wooden peg and I knew that it would be super easy to put them to better use, with the help of some of my old magazines! 

See what I did there? Fridge magnets!

I found a few words that fit just right on to the pegs too.

They even make up a new kind of (R16 in a certain order) fridge poetry, hehe...

When I no longer felt like cutting up the beautiful old magazines, 

I turned to my craft paper box, and now I've run out of pegs!

I think these will make awesome little gifts, and they're very easy and satisfying to make! 

I even got inspired from the pink and green pegs and dressed myself up a bit too...

Whoah, pink nails! 

Now if only I could do my make up like Ann Sheridan...
