I was able to check out the ebook from my library, which is a good thing as it is a very small book in both size and content. The book measures 3” x 3.7” and the epub version that that I read is 17 pages but the printed version is 80, so I’m guessing that it takes several print pages to equal one ebook page.
I did enjoy reading and looking through this book
even though it took about 10min to read the entire book as each page is very
brief and the book contains home-spun, no-nonsense wisdom and a few pictures.
“Change the dish towel.
Hang a fresh towel and
your kitchen will look neater and cleaner, even when it isn’t. Note the satisfaction you feel when draping
an ironed towel over the oven door.
Vintage tea towels. Embroidered
beauties. Simple Renewel.”

“You can never have too many aprons ….. Or too many memories.”
“When company’s on the doorstep, it’s amazing how much dusting an apron can accomplish in a matter of seconds.”
Even though I found the book pleasant to read, I felt some of the wording chunky and some sentences poorly formed.
