Hi, I have a rush job for a granddaughter for a Barbie table. The summer issue (2011) of the Scroll Saw & Crafts Magazine has one. As my need is urgent, ordering a copy of the magazine from USA wouldn't be soon enough. Would someone have the pattern, just the table, that they would scan and send...

Hi, Was sent a copy of a Hobbies clock pattern (Fairy Clock No. 2059 dated 6 Apl 1935), I guess part of the 'Art Deco' time(?).Not impressed with the design at first but it has grown on me, also I seem to enjoy these patterns from the past, especially this one as I was about nine months old when...
