Show and Tell Friday (11/30)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better!

I know it has been a while ago, but I believe Kelli showed some "glimpses" of a book called Foods and Homemaking. I remembered that I had that book too. Hubby found it years ago at an auction along with a book called A Girl's Problems in Home Economics. The book in the center, I believe, belonged to Hubby's grandmother. I really need to try making something from this cookbook (The Victory Cookbook). I got intimidated when I saw bread call for a "cake" of yeast. At the time I had absolutely no idea what that meant. So anyway, I thought this would make a neat show and tell today. Now....off to see what others have to show and tell today. Blessings to all! :o)

Such treasures you have there. It is so much fun to go through old books to see just how they did things back then.
A lot of wisdom to be learned.

Take care,

Old books are wonderful things. Not only do they tell a story, but I often wonder who the owners has been over the years. If books could talk, what could they tell us about the people who owned them? Interesting concept.

I enjoyed my visit. Thanks for sharing.
Blessings,

Very precious books to have...I always find it so funny how things have changed where homemaking is concerned when I read one of those books:-)xo

A cake of yeast I have never heard of before. I wonder what it looked like? Did you ever make anything else out of the books?

They must be fun to read. :) Thanks for sharing.

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...

Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...
