‘The Modern Family Cook Book’ by Meta Given

May 22, 2012September 13, 2018 Beth4 Comments

The Modern Family Cook Book by Meta Given was originally published in 1942. I found this revised edition, from 1961, in Goodwill. Love. Ignore my post-its sticking out all over. We've all heard about menu planning, and how important it is, right? Yeah. For every month out of the year, a week's worth of menus.… Continue reading ‘The Modern Family Cook Book’ by Meta Given

How to Reline a Vintage Suitcase

April 2, 2012November 25, 2019 Beth40 Comments

I picked this suitcase up at a thrift store for $1.00. It's just an old cardboard suitcase, nothing special. When I opened it up it was stained and discolored all over. And it smelled like it had been sitting in a damp storage area for about 652 years. I decided to reline the suitcase with… Continue reading How to Reline a Vintage Suitcase
