letsgovintage1940s

I love the 1940s...did you guess?! I love the clothing, the music, and the homely decor, and I even love the food. Our family quite often eats ration book meals. Not out of necessity but purely because we just love them. I enjoy my evenings of crafting whilst listening to 1940s radio. I'm just in heaven! Do I want to live back then, too? No, of course not. Why would I want to live in a time waiting for a bomb to drop on my house? Or my husband or sons killed in action? But I can still dream of a simpler life, a less stressful life, a quieter life than I have now, and mix it with the elements of the 1940s that I do love. Of course, I acknowledge what happened during WW2, and my thoughts are with those affected and what those people went through, but I have the privilege of picking and choosing what I want in my life now and what I don't. So this blog will be bits of this, and bits of that. I love to knit vintage, so there will be plenty of that. Most of our meals are 1940s recipes, and one thing I am about to start is the 1940s Ration Book Diet, so I will document that here. Maybe I will lose enough weight through doing that and make it possible for me to feel comfortable enough to even wear the clothing - maybe even start making some! I would love to start adding 1940s items to my home, so you never there may be some of that here too. There will be rambles and a lot of nonsense, so let's see where this takes us! I hope you will come along with me. With love, Cheerio!
