Schoolgirl Sally
I was at a Christian Aid book fayre at the weekend and found this little treasure – “Sally Travels to School”. This book was given as a prize in the 50s, but I think the story is set a bit earlier.
There’s a lovely black and white picture at the beginning. Looks like teacher wears pince-nez – very scary!
Don’t think Sally was much of a cook!
Couldn’t find anything out about the author, Muriel Fyfe.
If any of you lovely vintage gals are looking for some music to fit in with your treasure hunting – think I’ve found just the CD. Found it on Amazon and the sound quality is great.
It is music from the TV series “Pennies From Heaven” and there are some great tracks on it. I’ve been playing it a lot, its a bit of a change from what I usually listen to!
Listening to it makes me think of Poirot or Jeeves and Wooster – very atmospheric!
Love Liz
Please don’t think you are seeing double. I posted the next bit below about bargain cake stands a week ago, but when I tried to change the label, something went wrong and it appeared in draft and I can’t put it back in its right place. Since there are a few comments, I didn’t want to delete it! So just ignore it – you’ve probably read it before!

I like that line from the book..."the yolk looked rather bald and self-conscious"....brilliant. Can just see it. :)
Glad I didn't go!
