 Recipe of the day, from a 1927 cook book

I will be doing this on a regular basis from 

other old cook books I have.

I will show the cover then the recipe.

Another dress I made for Marie

I grew up watching the Donny and Marie Show and

I thought if would be cool to recreate this dress that she wore 

back in the 1970's

Here is my 16" vinyl Marie Osmond doll with her turquoise dress.

I found a little flower and had some green beads.

I found this picture online as a reference.

  There is so much going on in the world right now. Just be prepared for anything. Always be prepared to be without internet. Get back into writing letters by snail mail. Back in the 1970's, you could go to any store and find stationary. I had pen-pals from England and it was so cool to get letters from overseas as a child. I enjoy making my own stationary now but it costs more then a stamp to send it. Plus we should support our local post offices a bit more.  It keeps us creative. Write a letter by candlelight one night to see what it was like before electricity or make a postcard and write a recipe on the other side.
 

 

    I like making journaling envelopes and decorating the way I like.  I saw the idea on YouTube

   I bought this empty folder for a friend at a thrift store and filled it with stationary I had on hand. It made a nice gift.
