So, I used to be a thrifter. Cleveland's a great town for finding cool vintage in the thrifts. Combined with a tendency towards OCD behavior, it is any wonder that I used to overbuy for my various collections and have had a hard time getting rid of things.
Here's some mid-century cookbooks I'll mail for out Tuesday. If you want some, let me know in the comments. And then I might go out and reward my self with chocolate ice cream for the work I've done tonight to reclaim some space.
The New California Cook Book--Genevieve Callahan. 1955
The Betty Furness Westinghouse Cookbook--Prepared by Julia Kiene. 1954
The Mystery Chef's Own Cook Book. 1943

What a nice thing to do. I would love to have A Book of Hors d'Oeuvre. I love vintage party books, especially for finger foods and cocktail parties.
How nice. I'd love to have The New California Cook Book. Sounds interesting and hubby and I lived in CA for awhile.
