I have a deep obsession...er...love for vintage cookbooks. I found this one at a garage sale for $1.00! These are my favorite. The ones that are really loved, stained, and with tons of notes and stuff inside. It's from 1941 and it had a newspaper page, perfectly preserved inside, from 1958. My husband and I looked at it for like thirty minutes straight. We love stuff like this! Do you collect vintage cookbooks? If so, what have you found in them?
I also have a collection of McCalls that were my grandmothers and I love reading all her little notes inside and knowing which ones were her favorites by the stains and wear on the pages. It's the neatest feeling knowing that I am cooking for my husband and daughter (her great granddaughter) what she cooked for my daddy.
It's priceless.
I love vintage cookbooks too. I've been known to hit up the used bookstores and garage sales too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find.Sometimes you can find them at second hand stores. I have some of my grandmothers old crochet patterns.
ReplyDeleteMe too. I am so in love with them
ReplyDeleteLOVE this!!! I'm with ya! I just got an idea from Real Simple magazine to frame old hand-written recipes from loved ones. We had each of our grandmothers write out our favorite recipes that they make in their own handwriting and have them framed in the kitchen...so fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the old cookbooks!
