  • Nostalgic and Practical Advise

    I'm old enough to have taken years of home economics in school and belonged to a 4H group for home arts, this is fun refresher. This little volume is full of practical advice. I refer to it as little because of the size of the book, not lack of content. It's rather small, with really small print. Something I wish I had realized beforehand.
