A hardcover book titled 'Breaking Bread with William Saroyan'
I saw it while I was out mailing a package and came home and bought it off Amazon.
I should get it June 14.
I saw lots of old time recipes I'd like to try and some that brought back memories.

They just bumped up my delivery date to June 10-tmrw!
It's put together by some local ladies and WS was a friend of the family.
I hope to keep it in good condition.

It was a bad year for dresses. Good find with that one. Does it have pockets?

Ooh that's pretty!I've been looking for a nice casual summer dress. After looking at a gazillion that had puff sleeves, flouncy tiers, ruffles, and little floral patterns, I finally found something!

No, unfortunately, it doesn't have pockets but that's okay. I can live without them. I had such a hard time finding something that I would actually wear, I don't care!

What you see is a bag full of fabric, but in weeks to come the light grey, patterned fabric and the, just visible, cream fabric will become vintage style trousers, for me, with wide hems and turned up cuffs, along with the back of the waistband rising in a vee shape known as, fishtail.
The darker grey will become a classic pair of lady's trousers and the two printed fabrics will be turned into vintage style dresses. Watch this space.

Just got back from Home Despot with a new expandable hose, new nozzles for my regular hoses, four way plug splitter with protection and two yellow jacket traps. There’ll be more food shopping to do midweek for gazpacho and nibbles.
In one week we’re having tea in the garden with Lia’s walking group of women artist friends and their mates. Still plenty to do but now we should be able to more easily water what needs it, get the fountain running and keep black and yellow hoard away from our food when the day comes.

Mrs HC can put pockets in everything she makes, even if it’s not part of the pattern. Nice skill.

Have you seen the way my lady makes the pocket on my Aloha shirts all but disappear?
Look closely at the second picture and you can just make out the pocket stitching.
Note too how the panels line up, it uses a little more fabric, but what a professional finish.

Bought some beautiful peaches, nectarines, cherries (99¢/lb!), and plums at the specialty produce store yesterday. Other veggies as well, but those put a smile on my face!
