Here is a vintage post from way back that I thought you might enjoy. It is one of my favorites.
I was remembering my grandmas today as I began to sort through some of my vintage tablecloths. I just love the colors and prints.

I enjoy both the floral patterns as well as the fruit patterns
This one below belonged to my Grandma on my Mom's side and it is so well used that it must have been one of her favorites.
This bowl belonged to my Grandma on my Dad's side It was used also by my Mom for many years. It is one of my favorite things. I think it is beautiful in form and pattern. It is just the right size for. . .
Fresh Strawberries
Until Next Time
My Grandma would slice them up and add a bit of sugar to coat them.
She would then take a yellow cake mix (she was very modern for her time) and she would bake it according to the package instructions.
She would pour it into an oblong cake pan . . .

and bake it at 350 degrees until it was baked golden.
Then she would put a piece on a pretty plate top it with the strawberries and some real whipped cream and voila! It was her version of strawberry shortcake. One of my favorites!
I just love remembering Grandma.

I'm sure my grandmother slipped a "mix" in once in a while but with the extra grandma love you'd never know it wasn't scratch!!!lol Wow, I really miss my grandmother!!! Have a great week - Sincerely, Jeannette

that makes me wish I had known both my great grandma's better...I wish I wasn't as young as I was when they went to the glory fields...I love you and love that you shared this it makes me feel closer to them...even if i can't eat strawberries..lol..
My granny taught me how to bake. She said you weren't really doing it right unless you used your fingers to scrape all the batter out of the bowl.
Just don't lick them while you do it.
