The Girls' Guide to Homemaking.

I have just started a new book The Girls Guide to Homemaking by Amy Bratley which is a nice light bedtime read, I do like a bit of escapism in my books.  In the book are lots of homemaking tips from her grandmother's 1950's home manuals, this one caught my eye and I think it is wonderful...




Always have a lot of souvenirs around from far off places, even if you've just sent for them from a mail order house.  It will give the impression of being a world traveller who hasn't been home long enough to have thoroughly cleaned the house.  

 Phyllis Diller's Housekeeping Hints, 1966




Now that is my kind of handy hint, brilliant!


Happy Wednesday lovelies.  ax
