It's fun, it's retroâ€”and it's back in style. Take a fond look back at the kitschy crafts of the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, from crocheted doilies to shell-art nightlights. All these nostalgic creations appear in appropriately fashioned period settings that will captivate browsers, and come with instructions for those who just canâ€™t resist creating their own string-art pictures, pink flamingo items, far-out tie dyes, kooky candles, macramÃ© plant hangers, and the one-time must-have on every coffee table: a resin-cast grape cluster. And, of course, who can live without the hottest toy of all? The Sock Monkey Doll. Everyone will have a blast poring over theseâ€”even those who have never made a craft in their lives.
