I acquired this lovely book a couple of months ago - it was my late Nans.......I've yet to read it properly, but I have had a few flicks through. It's called The Happy Home, which I believe to be from the 1950's.......I can't actually find a date, but the 50's seems right. It shows (guides) women how to obtain/maintain the perfect happy house, with happy children and a happy hubby. It covers pretty much anything you can think of from the obvious cooking recipes to: how to organise your fridge/freezer, how to eat healthy, how to hang wallpaper, keeping to your perfect weight and how to look your best! I will post more on the 'looking your best' section of this book at a later date :)
"The modern gas refrigerator is easy to clean and defrost"
1950's exercise routines......I love this - it reminds me of an article I read once about Marilyn Monroe's exercise and diet regime - I will try to find the source again and post for you.
A great find on how an older generation believe things should be.
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to sitting down with a cup of coffee and getting stuck into this book - so much information :) x
