The editors of Yankee magazine scoured scores of vintage books, magazines, journals, and memoirs to find the very best old-time secrets for preparing meals, cleaning, doing laundry, decorating, repairing the home, treating common ailments, caring for pets, celebrating the holidays, and gardening outdoors and indoors. Throughout this treasury the editors suggest ways to adapt yesteryears methods using todays technology and materials, giving readers the best of both the old and the new. As readers explore these pages, theyll discover: how to mix a stain for wood furniture from coffee and salt how to make real sourdough bread the way the pioneers did how to air condition a hot, stale room without relying on electricity how to fashion a beautiful garden trellis from twigs With this book by their side, readers will always be in the good company of an old-timer who is set to dispense a helpful hint, encouraging word, or sage secret at the turn of a page.

Reader Reviews
I love books of household hints. You need several different ones, so you can choose the right tip for your situation. This one has tried-and-true solutions for cleaning, crafts, cooking, gardening, home repair, and laundry. It's enjoyable to see things that were common knowledge to our grandparents and great-grandparents, but may have been forgotten in today's use-it-and-toss-it lifestyles.
