Happy Friday! Let’s share another laugh and a look back at one of my favorite findings from my vast library of vintage resources.
Here’s another tip from Dressmaking Made Easy by Mary Brooks Picken, which is full of etiquette tips and advice, in addition to dressmaking instruction. This chapter teaches us to “kneel gracefully” when we pick up something off the floor, and to not bend over in a cumbersome way. I can’t remember the last time I (or anyone else, for that matter) bent down to pick up something with such a straight spine, but I guess it can’t hurt to do some aerobic lunges throughout the day!
Check back for more quirky quotes and images each week (and find more of these timeworn tips in my book Vintage Notions)!
