My mother was cleaning out some bookshelves today and brought me this lovely vintage book, Meal Planning and Table Service, copyright 1924. She was a home economics teacher before she was married and I'm guessing with the section for teachers that this was her required reading.
I love the color of the cover and after glancing through the book I'm pretty sure I'm going to love the book as well. It has a lot of pencil marks through it where my mother must have been taking notes and at first glance has a lot of practical information. My daughter who just graduated from college is interested in proper etiquette so she might just end up with the book, although the vintage charm will definately be lost on her!

What a great find! I love it when my mom cleans things out and I cringe when I find out she gave things to the Goodwill before letting me see them! :-)
That is a great find and a keeper. More people today should read it. I cringe when I see someone who doesn't even know how to set a table. lol
What a pretty book and I know it means even more to you with your mom's notes! My mom was a home ec major who had some strange ideas about food! We had some interesting meals growing up! lol Happy week!...Debbie
