I would have been happy to send them your way if I hadn't. If I ever come across more cards on my travels I'll keep you in mind. It must be really annoying to have all but two!<br /><br />Thanks for your comment and good luck on your Margeurite Patten quest :)dropstitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891710367717242017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983479369024235167.post-81725096854759560432012-02-25T17:38:45.531+00:002012-02-25T17:38:45.531+00:00Hi Laura,

I think your cards are amazing, especially the Savoury Boxes one - that picture was always one of my favourites! Sorry I missed the chance to win one by 2 years...<br />Just wondering would you happen to have the Christmas Cake or Christmas Pudding cards among the many you've acquired? They're the only two I'm missing from my collection and I'd love to get my hands on them. I'm in Ireland and I'd be happy to pay for postage!

I actually collect vintage cookbooks and the ones from the 50s-70s thrill me to no end with their dated recipes and awful food styling. I think there is a big market for silly kitschy things so my vote would go to the repulsive photos/recipes. Humor always sells! <br /><br />The Savoury Boxes should be re named deep fried prawn coffins (poetic that the prawns look like they are trying to escape) and who doesn't love vintage photos of aspic anything? Great stuff!Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07817913259291615947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983479369024235167.post-28147943917867336332009-07-23T17:44:30.166+01:002009-07-23T17:44:30.166+01:00Ok so I think the slimmers salad would not go down...Ok so I think the slimmers salad would not go down well... Even if I was on a diet if someone purchased me a card which detailed how to make a salad I would be quite miffed, kinda like 'you need a salad' lol. <br /><br />The prawn cocktail appeals to me as its such an old dinner party dish - reminds people of good times, summer of love and all that - I think that would sell well :D<br /><br />The Hedgehog cake card has widespread appeal - children, adults alike so thats a defenite goer and the picture and the recipe would be coveted here. <br /><br />The danishes are also perfect as a thankyou card for a loved one - with a wee cake on the side. <br /><br />So in my mind id say Danishes - perfect thank you card. Prawn Cocktail - perfect party invite card. Hedgehog cake - commercial appeal would go down a 'treat' hehe.marguerita_norval@hotmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983479369024235167.post-83732942295630809662009-07-23T03:46:06.100+01:002009-07-23T03:46:06.100+01:00It's got to be the hedgehog cake purely becaus...It's got to be the hedgehog cake purely because my mum made me one similar to that when I was little :) The hamburger chowder sounds revolting and the ham aspic looks revolting! I think people would be drawn to the pictures (in a good way or a bad way) more than the recipes but thats just my opinion!Swirlyartshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17604277693684703535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983479369024235167.post-73727485031689557222009-07-23T01:47:23.478+01:002009-07-23T01:47:23.478+01:00OMG that cake looked amazing. and I've never h...OMG that cake looked amazing. and I've never had chowder but that sure does look good. But my favorite HAS to be the danishes. mmmmmm, they look so good. and by the way, the boxes, no. 2?, are so cute! awesome idea!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05250202607112574968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983479369024235167.post-3266277235714022802009-07-22T21:06:59.601+01:002009-07-22T21:06:59.601+01:00oh my god these are amazing!

Especially ones with pictures - I'm really not down with books that don't have pictures of everything (slight tagent.. oops!)<br />ooh. I love the fact that theres a recipe for bacon and eggs - I can't imagine someone not knowing how to cook it. <br />I can imagine the super random ones that sound disgusting selling - because they would be pure funny. I'm torn between Hamburger Chowder (cause what? that sounds gross!) Chocolate Cake with Coffee Orange Frosting (yum!) or Ham in Aspic (the picture of that is incredible... in a bad way)<br />I guess purely based on wanting to eat what I cook... chocolate cake with orange frosting! + the fact that the icing looks like it may glow in the dark - exciting. Generally for me cake = win, anything to do with coffee and cake = double win!claire platthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06705147876479432017noreply@blogger.com
