From the Author, Martha Greene:
"If your mother raised you on TV dinners and worked long hours at a job, you might have missed learning some of those homey skills that you need now as you seek to rear your children and make your house a home...I have reached my season in life where I am considered and "older women" who can teach and share with the "younger women" as prescribed in Titus 2. I have been blessed to have born 11 children and five of them are now grown. This TREASURY is a complete album of everything I would share with a "younger women" who desires to be the keeper of her home. My heart loves to share with other women, but there are only so many that can be reached by myself personally. So, I offer you this book and trust it will bless you and your family from years to come.
"It is full of inspiring ideas, recipes, resources and absolutely charming vintage graphics. Some pages even have reproduction advertisements from magazines dating back to the 20's and 30's. This book is also a journal for you to jot, clip, and paste in. When you fill in these pages, it personalizes the treasury to be your very own and it will be a priceless heirloom for your daughters. Contributors to this treasury include Mrs. Rebekah Wilson of www.hopechestlegacy.com ; Mrs. Marilyn Moll of www.Urbanhomemaker.com ; Mrs. Laurie Latour of www.futurechristianhomemakers.com ; Lady Lydia of www.ladiesagainstfeminism.com ; Mrs. Kimberly Eddy or www.joyfulmomma.org and other godly homekeepers with so much sweet wisdom to share with us all."
