so cool. I once found a book called “the confederate housewife’ a the library. I had a hard time reading it because it was most definitely from a pre-anti-slavery viewpoint but it also had some great recipes…if you could sift through the racism and arbitration of women and children.

I hope you’ll be sharing some of the dye recipes!

“Do they know how much wealth has been sacrificed, how many families ruined, to produce this boasted result? ”

This just gives me chills. I know human nature is and always has been the same, but this indicates that its not ALL Walmart’s fault.

Really cool post.

Frugality is something that is definitely not valued these days. If it were, I wouldn’t feel like such an outsider. Crazy how something like that can make you feel so different from the masses of people, but it’s true.
