My passion as of late is vintage cookbooks, magazines, ettiquette and home decoration of the 40s, 50s and 60s.

I love the sweet, idyllic, optimistic aura surrounding the fifties but I'm also a modern gal. I'm a terrible housekeeper and tolerable hostess. If I were June Cleaver I'd look just as sweet but tell that smarmy Eddy kid to get his smart ass the hell out of my kitchen and tell Ward to fetch his own damn slippers.

Home Deconomics (formerly Head Bitch in Charge) was begun in 2005 by me, aspiring art historian, art student and fabric and gelatin addict.
