Boston Drop Cookies – 2/3 cup shortening ( I would use butter or lard personally) 2/3 cup sugar, 2 eggs, 1- 1/2 cups of flour, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp vanilla. Cream sugar and shortening, add eggs and beat. Add flour,salt, & baking powder sifted together, add vanilla. That's it. No time or temp. Just as I found it in the book. So I would guess at 350 for 10-12 min. play around with the recipe and watch the cookies so they don't brown. ❤❤❤
I'm on vacation and passig through your town. Blessings 🙂
I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video! I, too, am a Jane Austin fan. I hope to write down all of the books you shared so i can research them for myself. I subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching more of your videos. Your home is gorgeous and you have a beautiful family. 💕
I can’t believe you found those curtains they are so perfect. Love your kitchen so sweet.
I just ordered the book Keeping the Castle not even a week ago from an online used book site. Can't wait to get it! And so glad to heat I made a good choice. It should keep me occupied while recovering from my up-coming surgery. I'm a new subscriber enjoying your content ❤
At last, someone else who loves Persuasion as much as I do! What a satisfying spring video. Thank you! 😊
So enjoyable. I did enjoy listening to the book recommendations. I wonder how my husband would feel about a tea party. What a special way to show your love and your care. You are a good example for your daughters. Your son will know what to look for in a good wife. Thank you.
Hi Abby Jo, such a lovely video. I love to find those hidden treasures at Goodwill. Thank you for the book recommendations. I loved reading At Home in Mitford series by Jan Karon makes you feel like you have stepped back in time to a kind loving town. I'm looking forward to making the cookies and custard.
It was nice that you mentioned Georgette Heyer. I have loved her for years. Side note: she wrote a handful of the best mysteries ever. Much better than Agatha Christie. Not morbid, a bit of humor, and a love story. Thank you for your sweet videos. I'm in a hard place in life right now and to further complicate things, I've been very sick. I'm watching your videos, they give hope and they are wonderful company. (The mysteries aren't Regency, they are in 1930s and 1940s. If you love that era, D.E. Stevenson is a British author who wrote lovely bread and butter novels that warm the heart) The coloring book is in my cart! I have loved that book so long.
Thank you for reminding me about the Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady! I bought it a while ago when Tarnished Treasures mentioned it. It's been sitting on a shelf, neglected. Tsk! Such a lovely book! I love all your book selections. Thanks for your calming, inspirational videos that remind me 'it's the little things' that make moments special. Old tablecloths, comforting, healing foods and beautiful art and books!
Loved your video today. Keep the book recommendations!!
I just found your channel. What a gift to my spirit!
If you like Regency have you tried Charlotte Smith.
Thank you Abby Jo, for sharing your wonderful finds! I have those exact curtains in my laundry room! I thrifted mine too! I always enjoy your vdeos!
Abby I have started collecting old cookbooks (prior to WWII).. Your Sunday Supper book I bought yesterday.. Loved hearing your comment on it as I have not seen it yet waiting for the postman to deliver.
Love, love, love this video. It gives me a sense of nostalgia, although I don't know why. I never had a tea party nor read Jane Austin. But something in your life touches mine. Thanks for sharing it with us.
You are such a warm drink of sunshine…I really enjoy your content. It’s soothing and nurturing. And the videography is so well done!
Hi Abby Jo. The curtains you pick up for your kitchen look really nice.Your sandwiches look real delicious. Thank you so much for your videos.They have a very calming effect.❤
Such a soothing video, thank you for inviting us into your beautiful home Abby Jo!!
i love darina allen forgotten skills book its really good i highly recommend it. her sour dough and sausage making are my favourites.
Abby Jo, you just make watching so relaxing and fun! Your home is very inviting and warm. Thank you for the videos.🤗
Your baby girl is growing up so fast! Precious! I always enjoy your videos. Blessings!
This is so tranquil and inspiring.Thank you!
You always such great things at a good price at the thrift store. The meal looks delicious. Your daughter was so sweet. It’s nice of you to show her different skills in the kitchen!! Good training. These are things she will treasure when she is older. Wonderful memories. You have some great books.
I love old linens, the weight and feel is so much nicer than todays linens. I think that the green table cloth you have maybe from the 1950's or maybe late 1940's. I have one very similar but mine has Lilly of the valley were you have roses. I always love a tea party.
Such a lovely visit! I look forward to your book reviews and toggle back and forth to save favorites as I’m watching your videos! Great score on the curtains…perfect fit and look so cozy in your kitchen!❤️
I love second hand shopping .I have found so many curtains. Thank you for sharing your finds. 😊
Thank you for the book recommendations.. I enjoy it so much. ❤
Have you found the Stillmeadow books (Gladys Tabor) yet? You may also enjoy the Mrs. Appleyard books by Louise Andrews Kent.
What a lovely visit with you..thank you for sharing…I'm not sure if anyone has ever recommended or most probably you already have read many of Catherine CooksonS books I just loved then all…my favourite was the Dweling Place…I know you would love it too…love the curtains, I just made some for my own kitchen using ticking. And have a few more to make…something I love to use for my table is quilts…they are so homely and inviting…your going into spring and I'm into winter..getting ready to have the fire on soon , an assortment of sewing projects, books to read and pottering in the garden….I've just finish a big clean up and decluter and a promise to myself to use and enjoy all my pretty things,,,oh maybe tmi but like you I do love seeing how others are doing, reading, creating their own homstead simple life…thank you for sharing yours…regards from the riverland Australia…amongst vast orange orchards, vineyards, almond and olive groves…and turtle doves that watch the vegetable garden well…lol..
Wow, love those curtains Abby Jo…also you found just the right spot. I love scouting for all kinds of linens at the thrift stores, not to mention all the books and furniture 🙈, but to be careful not to just buy because I can’t help myself, right? Thank you for the invite and lovely spread. Sending love from South Africa.X (‘The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady’ is my favorite too….all those lovely sketches. So, that coloring book is a real treasure.)
Great book choices Abby Jo. 'Persuasion' is my favourite Jane Austen too, with 'Pride and Prejudice' second. Your videos are lovely. I look forward to each one. Thank you.
One of my favourite things to find in old cookbooks is snippets cut from old magazines of recipes , old postcards or handwritten recipes all used as bookmarks . That and notes written right on the cookbook pages about any alterations they made to each recipe. I feel like they're passing their knowledge on to me. Diary of an Edwardian lady is one of my favourites too . Have you seen The wonderland of nature by Nuri Mass ? It's Aussie but maybe you've got something similar. It's supposed to be a child's teaching book but it's just Beautiful, drawing, learning about flora and fauna and a journal too . There's matching curriculum for it now. My little one will do it next year with me. Such a fantastic thing to do together. I love finding books that I enjoy along with my children. Those tiny curtains look like they were made for your kitchen windows , very special. D looks so pretty in her dress . Bows on Sleeves are just beautiful. Thank you for sharing lovelies ❤❤
