Husmodern 1952

husmor1husmor2husmor7husmor3husmor4husmor5husmor6husmor8

I bought several Husmoderns Köksalmanacka (housewife calendar) from the 50´s and the 60´s when I was out with Nilla on the flea market weekend. I have to say that I don´t agree with the values from the 50´s where the woman were a houswife but I love these books. All the women look so perfect but you keep having Julianne Moore in The Hours in mind. I buy them for the illustrations. But you should see my rhubarb pie that was done by nine this morning (it´s only becuse my puppy wakes up so early and my parents are coming over).

A little inteview with me here.

Esquire Cookbook

cookbook

As I´ve said before I always look for old cookbooks when I go to antiquarian book shops. The old ones, from the 50´s, often has nice covers and if you´re lucky, they are also illustrated inside. And this one is my favorite of all my cookbooks.

But I don´t like to cook, I´m lucky to have a husband who does that.

My book at Liljevalchs

Today I went for a long bikeride into town to deliver my books. The artmuseum Liljevalchs want to sell it in their shop which makes me happy. Right now the museum is closed because they are preparing for the Jan Håfström exhibition, opening this Saturday. I got to see a little and it looks like it is worth going.

Speaking of contrast (see 4/4); this is another example – when I do too much of graphic, computer made work I have do to something like this.
