Thank you for visiting and I hope you are are doing well at home.
This is called “Blossom Time", a 1960’s pattern by Royal Albert. I placed it by the apple blossoms for my stealth-sipping.
Skip to the end of the page to see a detailed picture of this Teaware and dinnerware from Pinterest/Etsy.
I always want to post more often with a video. It is nice to have a goal and still have hope that it can happen.
This is the cotton print (peach color with white dots) dress I wore, (4 yards, zipper, neckline piping, thread : Hobby Lobby half price sales - $25)
with a sash tied in back,
and front,
and with an apron.
I read a description of Dr. Gibson, Molly’s father in Wives and Daughters. In my next post I might pose some ideas of ways to reenact parts of this story.
These are Molly’s at-home dresses and aprons ( pinafore) in the movie. The fabric is similar in appearance to what we call homespun .
The cup I used today was quite common in the 1960s, and can be found on Etsy and eBay
The above China is sold here
I hope you get some things done, or just rest, during today's talk. The noise you hear during the broadcast is farm equipment.
I am looking forward to watching your new video later today, but just had to comment on the beautiful, beautiful cup. I don’t think I’ve seen a more lovely design.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day my dear friend

Hello lovely Lydia..... your skin is looking so beautiful and radiant today!! Have a happy day!! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Lesley. I added a link where some of these are sold. I found mine at the Goodwill.
ReplyDeleteFlossie, you are nice. The light was on my side today.
I enjoyed today’s broadcast so much. I had not thought how manipulated women were, i.e. WWII, to get them out of the home and hasten the break down of the family. It is likely a tactic used and redressed many time throughout history. And to pit women against women in the division— stay-at-home moms vs “working moms”, et all.
ReplyDeleteGovernment will always declare emergency in order to manipulate people and separate families. I hope people won’t be tricked again.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Sherman, thank you for another broadcast! I love when there is a new video. Your dresses always inspire me as you appreciate fabric the way I do. I love it when you show the dress patterns too in photos since I think the vintage pattern drawings are so pretty! You are so refreshingly renewed in your mind by The Lord and I love how you share scripture so often. I went back into your archives recently and you quoted “Let the peace of Christ rule in your heart”. And I was so struck by it I have been praying that for myself all week. You are a light set out on a table Mrs. Sherman.
ReplyDeleteI’ll be looking for other verses like that!
ReplyDeleteDear Lydia,
ReplyDeleteWe have an event around here called, "Best Kept Secrets of Berks County", where tickets are sold and the purchasers then are given lists of lovely and interesting small businesses to tour and shop in and then are given coinciding discounts, etc. It's a nice time and goes on for weeks during which this shopping is encouraged and made fun in different ways. I can't tell you how many times, while listening to your broadcasts, that I have thought to myself that Home Living is one of the Best Kept Secrets on the Internet! If society had not turned against the Home so much, I believe that you might have been on syndicated radio programming....but then, you may not have ever liked that as it might have taken you away from your family eventually! I'm sure you reach whomever God in His mercy allows to cross your path somehow. You are a blessing to us beyond words . 💙 Dianne in PA
Thank you Lydia Ruth, for talking about single mothers. It is hard to stay home as a single mother, but if you have help from family, and you don't care about being wealthy, then it is possible with God's grace. Pray and ask God to help you to be obedient to His will and He will always be faithful to provide. 🩷

I love all that you said, as usual, but especially when you said that the one thing you can never replace in the home is the mother's voice reading to the child, etc.
