there was a basket full of these ford times booklets at the same sale as the petticoat...if that bluebird one hadn't been on top I would have never gone through them. you can be sure I will be watching more carefully for them in the future though!
What a find! His raccoon illustrations are my favorite. My friend make a Charley Harper shrinky dink mobile for me: http://craftscafe.wordpress.com/2010/04/03/make-this-charley-harper-shrinky-dink-mobile/
I love it & will definitely bring more Charley into my home soon, though I doubt I'll ever be able to secure such a find!
Very cool! I have a Ford Times cookbook from the 1970's, I'll have to take another look at it. I don't recall that it had Charley Harper illustrations, but some of the recipes sound good. I didn't know there was a magazine. Argh - must not start to look for them!
i just happened upon a box of 123 issues of Ford Times, as I was going through them, I knew there was something familiar, then I remembered this post. The art is so beautiful, and I'm loving the recipe section in each issue, complete with an illustration of the restaurant. Lovley!

LOVE the Ford graphics!!! They're so good I can't even pick a favorite. They're very "embroiderable" too!
