Self-Finishing Recipe Boxes

Needlepoint Junction carries something I've not seen before--self-finishing recipe boxes!

https://shopneedlepointjunction.com/collections/exclusives/products/copy-of-recipe-box-navy-blue-houndstooth-pattern

They appear to come in navy or gray with two different inside fabrics.  The shop also sells little canvases that will fit in the self-finishing lid.

By the way, if all you see on the website links above are the canvases available to go with the boxes, look at the selection of photos below the main one.  Click on a photo you are interested in, and you can see it enlarged as the main photo.

TOTALLY Off Topic (and Strange)

I like to read all sorts of blogs and sometimes I discover something classic. 
http://www.midcenturymenu.com/2016/02/beef-fudge1967-a-vintage-recipe-test/

As a mid-century modern baby, I grew up with oddities like this on the table.  I thought I didn't like cheese until I was in college because I'd never eaten anything except Velveeta but labor-saving and economic food were a staple in many family meals in the 1950-60s. (The time my mother mixed lime Jello, cottage cheese, apple sauce and 7-Up is a classic story in my family. It's the only item my mother never served as leftovers, it was so horrible.)

I think this explains a lot about me.  LOL

Enjoy this totally off-topic item.  And if you make it, don't tell anyone I told you about it!

All Souped Up (with Tapestries)

Anna Pearson does needlepoint classes all over the United Kingdom and as part of the classes, lunch is served.   Now the ladies who do the lunches have collaborated on a soup cookbook.  I'm not clear if the cookbook has needlepoint charts included or just photographs of the authors' stitching but regardless this is a different and interesting present for the stitching chef in your life.
