Just a window shopping...

over at Retro Redheads.
This vintage 1930s table cloth caught my eye. I can so envision this on my table with all of its vintage green loveliness.

A treasure of primary colors

Growing up my mother had a set of Pyrex mixing bowls just like these ones...minus the small blue one.


I do believe my fondness for mixing bowls was born from my mothers kitchen... some 45 years ago.

While culling books...

I found this copy, of a classic from when my mom grew up.
I know this, because when I was growing up, she had kept the one from her childhood. I remember loving to look through it. It was one similar to the one below. My sister claimed my mothers copy. You can imagine, my delight when I found the newer version one day. My children were too old to enjoy it; hopefully one day my grandchildren will be able to.

A vintage replacement

I never liked the starkness of bulletin boards. If I ever come across a memo board, in this pattern or a similar one; my old bulletin board will only be a distant memory.

Warm and fuzzy Barbie memories...they are







Replicas of my life with Barbie. I think this is where my fondness for console televisions started. I still have my, very treasured still working 20 year old one.

Vintage memories of my mom's kitchen

Vintage laundry soap container

I know I could find other uses for this beauty; or I change to powdered laundry detergent.

I've got vintage

I didn't know how vintage the cannister set was, until now. I am so excited. The only missing piece is the coffee canister. I still use them, they are in terrific shape.

A walk down memory lane

I love looking at this site. Many items, bring back fond memories.
