Barbara Comyns’s daring depiction of childbirth. Some books need no introduction because they’re better if you don’t know what to expect, and it occurs to me that Our Spoons Came from Woolworths might be one of those books.

Melt-in-your-mouth good. When choosing between making homemade buttermilk biscuits or her go-to recipe for sour cream biscuits that only called for three ingredients, she chose the easy route every time. And we loved every bite.
During World War II, women were serving double duty. Many women started working outside the home for the first time in their lives, but still had all of the responsibilities of their homes and children. Convenience foods and quick recipes started becoming really popular! Prepackaged mixes made life easier on busy moms. You could find muffin, biscuit, pudding and cake mixes available at the grocery store. By the end of the 1940s, you could purchase mixes for pancakes, rolls and cornbread. All of the families during WWII wanted to help the war effort as much as possible! Everyone wanted to win the war and see their loved ones come home. People grew Victory Gardens, so canned food could be sent to soldiers. Special cookbooks were written in the 1940s to help families make quick, easy meals that didn’t require rationed foods. Rationed foods were foods that were limited and you only could have a little bit at a time. One the first and longest foods to be rationed was sugar. This recipe is for Parsley Biscuits. They are really quick and easy. They aren’t fluffy or flaky, but more crumbly. They reminded me very much of a scone. Butter was a rationed food in Molly’s day, so the recipe requires shortening instead of butter. But since we don’t have food rationing, definitely slather butter on those warm biscuits! 😉 I served my family these biscuits with Kirsten’s Potato Soup and the combo was really nice. I hope you try these easy biscuits! [gallery ids=1024,1031 type=rectangular] For this recipe you will need: 2 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 1/4 teaspoon of sugar, 4 tablespoons of shortening, 1/2 cup of fresh parsley, 3/4 cup of milk, flour to coat hands and a tablespoon of butter (optional). The complete recipe is at the bottom of the page. Start by preheating your oven to 425 degrees. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar into a mixing bowl. Blend well. Next, use a pastry cutter or fork to blend the shortening into the dry ingredients. Make sure your parsley is clean and dry, cut it into small pieces and add it along with the milk to the dough mixture. [gallery ids=1026,1027,1028 type=square] Place the dough onto a flat, floured surface and pat it until it's a 1/2 inch or so thick. Using a biscuit cutter or a cookie cutter, cut out the biscuits and place them on a baking sheet. If you don’t have a round cookie cutter, a clean empty can would work also. Bake the biscuits for 15 minutes or until the tops are golden. Rub the butter on the biscuit tops while warm.

One of the treasures I collect are L&B antique pressed paper dolls that were sold both under the name of the German maker L&B (Littauer & Boysen) or also by the US distributor Dennison. These dolls are amazing in person, since they are large, heavy duty embossed lithographs. The actual pieces for this Lillian Russell doll is around 14 inches tall assembled, when you add a torso to her. The head portion of this doll is 4 inches high, her legs are 7 inches high and her torso 5 3/4 inches high. One of the dolls currently in my collection is of the late 19th century Actress Lillian Russell. Since these paper dolls are over 100 years old and getting harder and harder to get; when I first purchased my doll she did not have the correct color of ballet slippered legs. Luckily, I've since been able to acquire the correct color of legs and now have all the correct parts and pieces. I finally have all the correct parts for this paper doll It took me a while to get all the correct parts to complete this Lillian Russell doll but here she is - at last! The beautiful and talented Lillian Russell Vintage photos of the Actress. I love Victorian images. It's so much fun to see the clothes and hairstyles. Lillian Russell doll as I originally purchased her When I originally purchased this doll, from a nice lady in Australia; she had the green ballet slippers of another doll - Adelina Patti (see the next post) These are the 3 Actress Ballerina dolls by L&B. 3 Ballerina Actress Heads by L&B 3 matching pairs of arms and legs - Blue, Pink and Green I don't own the two sets above so I can't provide a better scan of the parts; but I love how the image shows they were once all attached from the manufacturer when they left L&B in Germany and wanted to show them. ( I have each of these dolls parts separately, just not the complete connected sheets 2844 and 2849) Another look for the Lillian Russell doll Back in October I did a project using this for a Halloween Witchy look where I paired her head up with another set of vintage L&B legs and arms in Black. This is the original scan of doll parts I used for my Halloween project I started with this original scan of parts and then made some alterations in Photoshop. This is what she looked like after I altered her in Photoshop I wanted a Witchy look for my project so I changed her bodice to orange and then I cleaned up the black on her legs and gloves. An original vintage torso for the L&B dolls This torso is original to the age of the L&B paper doll and is 5 3/4 inches tall. With the bodice in place you can dress up the doll any way you like it or you can just cover the torso in a pretty pattern and let her be a corset doll. The great thing about these dolls is that I can scan them in, clean them up, change colors when needed and use them as many times as I want in art project while the originals are safely protected in a special binder waiting for more lovelies to join them. If I'm lucky I'll find another doll or two before the year is out. Wish me luck!
