    Sweet. I'd think that 1940s/1950s but others may disagree. May well have come from kit.

    Cat tails Gary, not pussy willows. That's all I know.

    I'd be thinking late 40s to mid 50s too. It's what ladies did while listening to the radio at night, or later watching TV. You bought the kits either in a five and dime, a department store (if you were posh) or through mail-order (if you didn't live near a city).

    I'd think 1940s and quite a nice modern design, a bit more sophisticated than dime store. Backing doesn't look like silk though, more like rayon.
