OUR NEW PHOTO GALLERY IS HERE!
Exciting news! The social side of ITVK is changing. Because we want to support companies that are working to create healthy environments for everyone, we are taking an indefinite break from traditonal social media. In its place, we made something new.
Since we love taking photographs and sharing interesting information from history, by creating our own custom social feed here in the shop, we still have the opportunity to highlight all the excitement and joy found in the kitchens of past decades and centuries.
Visit the About page here in the shop to see our new gallery where you'll find similar content to what we have posted online in the past. Recipes, garden updates, history highlights, shop features, and 1750 House renovation projects will still be featured, along with some ITVK community contributions and sometimes a video or two. It's a new way to celebrate old history. We hope you'll find it to be equally engaging.
Featured Experts: Edwin Way Teale (1899-1980)& Nellie Teale (1901-1993)
Embarking on a 17,000-mile journey, naturalists Edwin & Nellie Teale followed the season of Spring as it unfurled up the East coast from Florida to Maine during the late 1940s. Tracking, recording, and observing the season with all its animals, insects, flora, and fauna they published the full account of their trip in the 1951 book North with the Spring.
From herb gathering in the mountains of North Carolina to studying eagle's nests in a palmetto pasture in Florida to discovering the nighttime sounds of mockingbirds in Delaware, their journey, born out of a tragedy, turned into a love letter to Earth, to the season, and to life lived with all the marveloys creatures that inhabit our everyday world.
