The Inevitable “About” Page

I collect weird old cookbooks and ephemera, old advertisements, old etiquette books and household guides – and am always on the lookout for strange postwar Jell-O and salad recipes. Ideally, both components in one gelatinized amalgamation of horror.

I’m originally a New Yorker, in my mid-40s, living in Canada, where I write about various historical, genealogical and pop-culture retro-vintagey things.

I write about Brooklyn, New York, genealogy, pop history, old advertisements, and any amusing bits of history that otherwise interest me, over at my other site, http://thevirtualdimemuseum.blogspot.com/

I would absolutely love to hear from you, and I try to answer as many comments as I possibly can.

  1. I just discovered your blog and I think it’s great — I’d love it if I could link to it on my own retro food site. Thanks!

  2. I, too, just discovered your blog, and am in love! Thanks for such great stuff!

  3. Aw, thank you Charlotte! I really love your blog too :)

  4. I absolutely adore both of your blogs!!!Kitchen Retro is fantastic and the New York blog…well, I want to delete my old Chicago blog and start over. You really put me to shame. Thanks for a good lesson in humility.

  5. Sharon, you are so sweet – but please don’t say that, I love your blog! You are a terrific writer and historian, and I am so glad I found your blog.

  6. Hi! I really, really love your blog. I hope you don’t mind if I link to it from my webpage? Thanks!

  7. Oh sugar honey iced tea…. had I seen your website yesterday, I would have happily snail-mailed you several items that I threw out that you would have adored – a 50′s menu with all the advertising hype among other interesting 50′s food advertisements…
