Picking up a little Ideas Book from the 1950's/1960's at a garage sale
this week the following heading took my eye. "Way to a Man's Heart"
It suggested we would please the man in our life if we
-
made his hair cream
-
starched his shirts
-
knitted his socks
At first I thought 'oh how the world has changed'. Well maybe it has -
but have the men in our lives changed too? We can still find a way to a
man's heart by doing things especially for him
-
cook his favourite meal
-
iron his shirt really well
-
clean his car
Continuing through this fascinating book, I found ideas which fit into
my simply beautiful, simple living lifestyle - after all what could be
more simply beautiful than a happy and contented partner - these include
-
An ABC of economical handy hints (look for it on my lists page
sometime soon)
-
Instructions and patterns for traditional skills like smocking,
bottled sauces, bonsai, shoe-shining/repairs, knitting and crochet
-
Handmade gift ideas
-
Things to make like tea cosies, bedsocks and shopping bags
Any one of these things can be found on the internet so get googling to
add some more beautiful simplicity into your life :)
