Molly Dye’s Ideas Book: the things you’ll want to
remember, Sydney 1960s
Although
I couldn’t find a single recipe or household hint in this booklet that
mentioned pineapple I did discover a “pretty” crochet “towel edging” of
pineapples and some lovely illustrations which qualifies Molly Dye to appear in
the blog!
And,
the "new ABC" did include D – dried fruit; J – jam and M – marshmallows which the
Pineapple Princesses frequently feature.
You
can’t go past Molly Dye for advice on restoring a yellowed panama hat or
suggestions for fete best-sellers but most of all I love the advice for
housewives.
I
wonder if it’s too late for me to start starching Les’s shirts? Anne.
Never too late Anne ;)
ReplyDeleteI wonder what exact fragrance once should add to the 'economical hair cream'. Perhaps the money saved on buying hair cream allows the purchase of a decent perfume for the housewife. ;-)
