Susan Waggoner, author of STC's successful "It's a Wonderful Christmas", "Under the Tree", and "Christmas Memories" is back again with another instalment of nostalgic art and engaging text about the wonders of the Christmas season in years gone by. "Have Yourself a Very Vintage Christmas" is a natural follow-on and will appeal to buyers of the previous books as it is loaded with advice and how to information designed to help readers get the look for every decade from the 1920s through to the 1960s. Waggoner takes this book one step further by combining decorating ideas and inspiration with delightful nostalgia and the crafts projects readers have been craving. The book will include decorating ideas and projects from vintage magazines, crafts projects and step-by-step instructions to re-create some of the most popular items from each decade, recipes for homemade treats like walnut fudge, divinity, and butter mints, and of course the popular first person recollections of the way Christmas really looked from the 20s to the 60s.
