I do like Mary's clothes also. And strangely I do like the cars.
Hubby mentioned the old autos too on this episode. The one Shirley MacLaine arrived in in a previous season, was very nifty IMO. I like almost all the vintage stuff, esp the medical. The time period was quite interesting from an artistic perspective too. Art Nouveau moving into Art Deco was a very nice period of interesting design IMO.

I like the kitchen scenes. I remember bowls similar when I was very young, watching the cooking. I found a photo of me at about 2yrs old (not long ago while cleaning out a drawer in my studio) looking into a bowl that looks just like the bowls being used in this show! My babysitter was from the Ukraine and made all her own bread and doughs (Pierogi from scratch too). And so did my grandmother, who was short and like Mrs. Pattison the cook.

So that kitchen is nostalgic for me.

My mother did not cook much.
