You may have to have a special frame built for it or mount it in a larger frame using a mat. I am thinking about doing that with some old Christmas cards from my grandparents.Ericka @ A Quiet Girl's Musings...https://www.blogger.com/profile/11041608167418967580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-89351029096701481482016-06-12T12:10:01.587-04:002016-06-12T12:10:01.587-04:00He was a great man.

It has a Christmas themed cover and I wanted to stick it in a frame as holiday decor, but it's a weird size, like 16x18 inches or something.

My mom used to have these books about how to be a lady from the '20's I think, and they were very entertaining. Lots of stuff about how to make your husband happy, which would sound ridiculous now.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01470414853177693058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-11964513924718951622016-06-06T16:22:39.664-04:002016-06-06T16:22:39.664-04:00That's a great gift to have received, Ericka. ...That's a great gift to have received, Ericka. <br />The oldest thing I own is a teapot form the late 19th century.

I'm a lot older than you, I suspect but I have a cookbook from my grandmother: "The White House Cookbook--a Comprehensive Cyclopedia of Information for the Home" from 1904. This is the new and enlarged edition and contains info about (and I quote) cooking, toilet and household recipes, menus, dinner-giving, table etiquette, care of the sick, health suggestions and facts worth knowing. As a nurse, the care of the sick items curl my hair! They are a hoot. The book is well-used. My grandparents married around 1908 and I'm guessing she relied on this a lot. There are other old items, but this is what came to mind. Google wants me to post on my defunct site.
