A Vintage View
Looking for a magazine to pass the time, I came across this
- "A Vintage View" from the
Woman's Weekly Classics Series. I got
mine in WH Smith in Greenock.
Its a fabulous look back to the years 1900-1920 through copies
of Woman's Weekly of the time. I love the pages of front covers which take
in the war years and afterwards.
There are handy household hints, although I don't think I'll
be trying the one for cold cream for use on the face and hands ... its main
ingredient is mutton fat! There are lovely pictures of the fashions of the days,
recipes, household hints and adverts of the time too. Some like HP Sauce and Pears soap still being
used today.
There is going to be a series of these magazines covering
the whole of the 20th century. I'm
really looking forward to collecting them all.
Love, Liz

I agree with you, not sure I fancy smearing my face with mutton fat!
