Product Information

A delightful and practical compendium of homespun advice, cleaning and etiquette tips, traditional recipes, and Southern wit, Mrs. Dunwoody's Excellent Instructions for Homekeeping will bring warmth, gentility, and order into your home. Today many of us yearn for the home-centered values of yesteryear -- homemade desserts, family traditions, and sparkling clean rooms that radiate comfort and good cheer. Now you can bring the wise, unhurried ways and charm of an earlier time into the 21st century with: Mrs. Dunwoody's Judicious Cleaning Hints: Make every room in your house shine with homekeeping tips that include a recipe for organic furniture cleaner made from lemon and mineral oil and an easy way to help prevent tarnishing with a piece of white chalk in your silver chest. Mrs. Dunwoody's Useful Notes from the Kitchen: From choosing the freshest foods at the market to seasoning and cooking, delight your family with such delicacies as Big Mama's Baked Country Ham and Ambrosial Pecan Pie. Mrs. Dunwoody's Advice on Etiquette: Brush up on letter writing, table manners, and timeless social rules like "Always stand at the doorway and wave good-bye until your departing guests are out of sight." Mrs. Dunwoody's Tips on Laundry: Protect linens and clothing with ingenious homespun techniques -- rub ink stains with a sponge soaked with milk, use stale bread to remove fresh spots from leather or suede. Mrs. Dunwoody's Guide to Entertaining: Make every kind of party a success. Learn formal table settings, proper service, and toasts that will charm your guests. Your home can be a place where you and yours truly feel surrounded by tranquility, cleanliness, and love. With hundreds of time-tested and fun-to-read nuggets of advice on everything from keeping your home organized to gardening and making homemade health remedies, as well as special pages for your own words of wisdom, Mrs. Dunwoody will take you back to an era where good things take time, but the wait is always worth it.

A SWEET VISIT DOWN MEMORY LANE!
This book reminds me of things my mother instructed us to do - from cleaning house to cooking and setting the table. And so much is still relevant for today's homemaker. As I turned the pages I was taken back to those simpler days when times were good and people learned to make do and be content.

My Favorite Book!
This is such a fun and interesting book! The pages of Mrs. Dunwoody's Excellent Instructions for Homekeeping are filled with old-fashioned recipes, cleaning solutions, and remedies for all sorts of problems. There are cleaning schedules that would be typical of a women in lifestyles past... daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. The book really gave me an appreciation for good housekeeping. Much of the information is out-dated, household tips from before windex and vacuum cleaners, but that's sort of the fun of it. This is the perfect gift for any homemaker, wife, or teenage girl who dreams of owning her own home.

Natural ideas for stain removal
I bought this book because I borrowed it from our local library, and it was full of good advice!! It has guidelines for natural stain removal, even for "ring around the collar" and mildew!!!! This book is perfect for anyone looking for "green" solutions to laundry/cleaning situations, or with small children. Very helpful!

Fun Reading
This a perfect laying in the hammock on a hot summer day read. After reading the book I could actually show my children (teens) the manners that have been passed down to me. It was a fun trip down memory lane, bringing back joyful memories of my very southern gradmother. (I have given this as a gift as well because a few friends were writing down the ISBN so they could order a copy)
