Mrs. Dunwoody


















This is a fun and charming resource that I pull off my shelf from time-to-time. Here's a sampling of the chapters: The Art of Homekeeping, Miss Sallie Anne's Splendid Directions for Laundry, Notes and Recipes from the Kitchen, and Matters of Formality. The book is a neat mixture of quaint, old-fashioned ideas that can be used and adapted for the modern homekeeper. And don't you just love the cover?!

Ruth -
I couldn't find this in my county library system, but it's worth checking in your's. I don't know if it's out of print or not, but I found this used copy for an inexpensive price through amazon.com.

This looks like something I would love to read! I think I'll put it on my Amazon wish list.
