The Cafeteria ABC: A Retro-Food & Alphabet Book (Language & Writing)

When she was 18, and just starting to build her collection of vintage paper Danielle Marshall was given a gift of school cafeteria food pieces from the nineteen-fifties.  She lovingly filed them away, until, years later, she was (again!) given a collection of Vintage Health Class Food Die-Cuts, all pictured on glorious Fiesta Ware.  Now a bona fide collector, she divided them into their proper food groups based on the Food Pyramid.  Danielle knew they were meant for something bigger but what?  Then she met The Enthusiast and a book was born.

So, whether you have a great love for Fiesta Ware,  dig super cool, retro, images of classic American food, possess oddly fond memories of High School Health Class, or have an unhealthy obsession with calorie counting, paper hoarding, or any and  all of the above, The Cafeteria ABC is just the book for you and your youngster to learn the alphabet whilst taking a tasty trip down memory lane.  But keep the snacks handy because shortly into learning your ABC’s you and junior are going to get hungry, for, say A-pple Pie, or a B-aked Potato, or perhaps a C-upcake, or even a D-anish!  This could take a while…

The Enthusiast exists to celebrate and promote genuine enthusiasm for enriching, elevating and entertaining subjects, including, but not limited to, art, history, literature, philosophy, science, cooking and sport.

Danielle Marshall IS a super duper mother (my words not hers, she is super modest too,) better-half wife, unformatted dance specialist, AND the head designer at indie jewelry powerhouse Beijo Brasil. She WAS a curious student, a sympathetic barkeep, and a habitual wearer of highwaters (no more!) She LOVES, and collects, vintage imagery and has been known to lick really pretty pictures (that's a secret.)
