Vintage Recipe Cards

As of late, I've been pretty obsessed with collecting old recipes cards and executing the various classic dishes into satisfying meals and desserts. Yesterday, I spent the entire afternoon at my grandmothers house baking sweets for today's Thanksgiving Dinner. With the compliments of an old trusty pound cake recipe card and Martha Stewart's Pumpkin Cream Pie, these two decadent desserts will fill our belly's this evening. What's on your dessert menu?

1950s-1960s kitchen aprons

 Sunday morning Mr. Rugged and I drove to Amelia Island, Florida...along the way and back we stopped at a few charming antique shops, which led me to discover a batch of dainty, cheerful cooking aprons...each still in impeccable condition. I can't help but imagine a nifty, chic lady wearing one of these while baking a blueberry pie.
