Household Wisdom by Tessa Evelegh
Recapture the spirit of a bygone era by learning the ways and customs of our grandmother's generation. This is a practical book of traditional housekeeping skills for keeping a sparkling home. There are tips to show you how to look after wood, china, glassware, and precious metals, and 20 projects such as a lavender bottle to keep linen fresh, and making a body scrub. There is a brief historical account of the organic products that were made at home such as medicines, candles, and room fresheners. Finally plenty of pampering beauty preparations are included. It aims to capture the charm of a different era, proving that the recipes and remedies our grandmother would have used have a valid place in the modern household.
