My Mom loves this advertisement! Wish it was still available.....
Would I ever like to have one of those rugs. Old magazines are amazing. So tasteful compared to the commercialism we have today.
ReplyDeleteAren't they beautiful rugs?
DeleteThere is something about an old advert, so much better then an in-your-face tv commercial.
This post is adorable, I love old magazines, they take us to a time that our mothers and grandmothers were apart of.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this,really fun to see. Hugs, Mary

Jacqueline,
DeleteThe Farmer's Wife is a fairly new discovery of ours too! We first discovered when my sister came across a cookbook that reprinted old recipes from it. Of course, we then had to keep our eyes out for the real macoy!!
Happy hunting!
I just want to cozy up and read one of these! The spinach soup looks so simple to make, and love the cake flour. Even the dresses are adorable. love love
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to make a cream spinach soup, so Grace Livingston Hill!! I really should try it for my cookbook project. The Swan's Down cake flour ad is one of my favorites too.
DeleteI love this old stuff ! :) I want to know what the red bunny is :)
ReplyDeleteLol! So do I! I guess I will have to make it and find out!
DeleteThank for the great post...loooove the shoes :)))
