Another Library Sale

We have such wonderful libraries here. 

So many in each little town plus East Central College,

the local community college in Union, MO.

I found this reproduction with beautiful drawings

entitled The Country Diary of and Edwardian Lady

 by Edith Holden in 1906.  It was seventy years later that

 someone found it on a shelf and had it published.

She worked as an illustrator

  until she died in 1920 by drowning.

Her illustrations are breathtaking. 

There are bits of poetry and dates of note 

sprinkled about the pages.

I also found a reprint of an old 1850's manual

providing tips and tricks for managing the kitchen.

I can't wait to try some of the recipes!

  I also  picked up the Christmas Edition of

the Gold Medal Flour Cookbook reprinted in 1970

but packed full of recipes and menus!

Each $1 or less.

Add these to the reading pile.
