Cardboard Cutouts and a Brownie Recipe

Countdown to Christmas this Day 14 features cardboard cutouts I adopted from an estate sale. 

This set were freebies outside of a thrift shop. 

It should come as no surprise that I keep adding to my Christmas Tree Pin Forest. This is a recent purchase from Goodwill. 

It also ushers in Day of the Trees on the 15th. 

1967 Bing & Grondahl plate of the Day.

What I am listening to - Mantovani Great Songs of Christmas.

Recipe of the day is from The Ford Times Cookbook (1968), something sweet and simple.
