Vintage Notions Monthly continues to share the work of Mary Brooks Picken and the Woman’s Institute which inspired my book Vintage Notions: An Inspirational Guide to Needlework, Cooking, Sewing, Fashion, and Fun! Although the Institute was founded 100 years ago, the treasure trove of lessons and stories are still relevant today and offers a blueprint for living a contented life.
