Love the vintage cookbook photo! It’s sad at what is considered vintage. I fall into that category!

Reading about your vintage collection and how part of it talks about ‘how to use a deep freeze’, reminded me of something and I just thought you would find it humorous…
I spent 5 prime childhood years growing up in Buras, LA (60 miles South of New Orleans). English was the official language, but it was kind of different. Down there, a “deep freeze” was a “chesta-freeze”. For some reason, it still makes me laugh-and I don’t know why.

Hilarious! It looks like she is coming straight out of one of your quilts! And her little fancy socks are so cute.

It took a long time to get my large collection of the pamphlets that were packed with all those exciting new appliance introduced in the 40′s and 50′s. Marvelous drawings and photos. I came home to a backed-up sewer in the basement. My collection smelled too bad for me to iron them flat. I do have several oookbooks and housekeeping books from the early 1900′s. To keep butter fresh without refrigeration, wrap in a wet gunny sack and hang from a tree in the shade. The breeze flowing thru the wet sack keeps it cool.

Oh I love the graphics and photos of 50s & 60s cookbooks! All those pineapple rings with maraschino cherries just get me. The Suzannas Pancake mix is great. I love her spatula and her tongue sticking out!

LOVE those old cookbook graphics! I, too, have a fairly large collection of cooking, sewing, knitting and crochet ephemera! Hmmm? Great idea to post it on VPF!

Hi Tracy, I saw your post earlier today with the ephemara, that’s what gave me the idea.

I know I have some packed away, but the cookbooks are something I’ve been wanting to sort through for a while, since they really do give me new ideas for my own drawings.

Thanks for sticking with me!

How funny! Today I posted some family ephemera, grew a little boxed in by the whole photo thing!

I LOVE the vintage cookbook image of the pancakes in her belly. Yum!

Play along anyway you want! Just happy to be playing together.
