Feel free to send us your little tidbits and we will be happy to include them. We plan to update this section everytime we update our site (usually the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month).
We hope you enjoy these and if you try any of the recipes or tips, please email us at dbarr@tampabay.rr.com to let us know how they turn out!
Wet the linen with soft water; rub it well with white soap; then scrape some fine chalk to powder, and rub it well into the linen; lay it out on the grass in sunshine, watching to keep it damp with soft water. Repeat the process the next day, and in a few hours the mildew will entirely disappear.
Put a cup full of coffee in a pot, break in an egg, pour about a quart of hot water on it, boil for an hour, strain through muslin…
Wash face at night in sour milk…. And in the morning with brau tea and a little eau-de-cologne.
Why will the ladies, when they get a pretty fashion, contrive to burlesque it? When these waterfalls were first introduced, they were pretty and graceful; but now so much hair is bundled on the back part of the head, that we sometimes feel in fear lest the lady should topple over. Just so with crinoline; a small one is neat and pretty, a large one grotesque and ugly.
