i know i kind of lost control with this post, but i just had to show you as much as i could from this wonderful little cookbook that belonged to my mom. these illustrations are just delightful and i am madly in love with the lime green, hot pink and yellow ochre color combo. pay close attention to all of the special little details in each drawing. my favorite is that nutcracker in the first drawing! sadly the artist was not given credit anywhere in the book for his or her amazing work.

Oh, these are so beautiful! Thank you for sharing so many of them. I adore this illustration style.

Thanks for posting all of these. I'm glad you lost control! Just look at those hot dogs, they look like they're having a party of their own. Love it.
