William Morris - whether you write in those books or not, just admire the beautiful prints.
We have a friend who records, now on her computer, every meal - the menu, who was there and even the plates she used! Her dinner parties were not all that much fun, as she chided her DH on his bringing something to the table on the 'wrong' plates.
Like you, I start out with a diary or journal with great enthusiasm, then fun and the process of cooking, living, knitting, etc. seems to take over. I would rather do than record!!

I'm now on my fourth volume of Menus and Guests, into which go all sorts of mementoes, from menus to the butcher's bill,photographs, wine labels, and apposite cartoons.One avoids giving people the same dish twice, and kitchen supper is as likely to be included as dinner for 12 (which happens far less often!)

Many years ago when I had a Quilt Shop (inbetween NHS- childbearing -nhs)I had the Liberty account for the area and sold Tana Lawn, bolts and bolts of it all mine to stroke.One perk was the free sample books that came with the account and these have been part of my quilt making ever since.Did you know that cotton is only grown by Lake Tana in the Sudan? That was part of my training, think I probably had to take an exam in it all before I was allowed to sell it!Spent a wonderful couple of hours in Liberty's while I in London last week, heaven on earth.

Karen - Gosh I had no idea there had been a branch of Liberty's in Edinburgh - I have written about that on my blog. I have lost count at the number of journals etc that I have started with all good intentions but that have been abandoned after a short period. However they are fun to look at after a time.
