A little surprise for you gals!

I have always loved the actress Donna Reed. From elegant to farmgirl she has played all the parts. My favorite TV show growing up..now I am not that old! The Donna Reed show was shown on TV Land for a long time and I used to catch reruns at my Nana's, she loved Donna too. I thought she has just got to be the most perfect mother and homemaker. Of course now that I am a grown up, and know that perfection doesn't exist , I still can't help but love to watch a rerun of that show . Did you know you can watch this show now that it is out on DVD? My children love it--think it is an absolute hoot! Donna is just the cutest little homemaker that ever graced TV I think. Now you may argue that June Cleaver or Harriet Nelson deserve that honor, but I think Donna had a real sweetness about her that makes her come out on top.
So all this to say that I started a blog , a vintage loving blog, 'cause I love all stuff vintage and antique you know! I have skads of books and recipes from this time and will post them over there, so I can keep a better record and to share with you all , of course! Vintage homekeeping advice really is fun and a hoot to read and not too far off the mark these days. Kind of harkens us to an era that is now extinct but one I think alot of ladies would still like to live in.
Pop on over and visit the new blog and let me know what you think about that yummy recipe I have posted there. It is tasty and if you try it do give a holler and let me know.

I popped over there and love it! The recipe is so familiar to me, I imagine that my grandmother made it for some Sunday dinner- I could almost taste it as I read the recipe. I couldn't leave a comment over there because of the format but just wanted to tell you that I can tell you had a lot of fun putting this together!

I tried commenting on your new blog, but for some reason, my computer didn't want to. :) Anyhow, I'm so glad you started your vintage blog! I'm a vintage-living lover, too.

Now I want to check out Netflix and see if they have The Donna Reed show for me to rent!

I was wondering if you are familiar with the book "The Pantry" by Catherine Seiberling Pond or with her blog at http://www.inthepantry.blogspot.com/ She is a lover of all things that are vintage-domestic, and I bet you'd like her blog. Very interesting postings...recently posted about their new hen house.

Love your new blog!
