Found book... inspiration from another day

You see, I found this wonderful book at a local thrift store. Its from the Salt Lake City school system years 1953-54. It is in fantastic condition considering how old it is and that it was a children's school book. It's inspired me to make several projects from the pages {yes I know, it was painful to tear them out, but such fun after the shock of ripping out the first page}. I adore the art and the colors used. Very retro chic. Note: I have to pay all damages. Whoops. Bill me. ;)
