McCalls 1962

At a recent rummage sale, i scored lots of magazines from the 40's-60's and have been delightedly flipping through them. I would love for my hair to someday look like the girl's on the cover of this McCalls 1962. Isn't she just gorgeous?
I thought it might be fun to sprinkle in some Etsy products similar to those in the magazine...

    May I ask how much you paid for your McCalls magazine? I saw a couple at an antique store here in town for $4/each. I would like to re-purpose the mags by framing interesting pics/ads.

    Thanks,
    Sandra

    Okay, I thought $4 was a bit much; that is why I passed them by.
