Something I found a bit ago and though I'd share. A few years ago a lot of my mother's family were gathered at her childhood home to my grandfather's funeral, and me and my cousins went through the books there, finding some pretty bizarre ones.

One of those was a "Craft Book for Girls" from 1957, a Finnish translation of a originally German book. At one point, there was a portion with examples of what the author considered "good" and "bad" crafts. With examples and description of why they were or were not tasteful. With the bad example CROSSED OVER and trashed in the text. :'D
