Forgotten Fridays: Rotary Phones

Nothing makes me feel my age than finding something in an antique mall that I grew up with. Right now mid century items are all the collecting rage. Among those items are rotary phones. I grew up with nothing but rotary phones in our household. In fact at one time we were even on a party line. I sure wish I had saved some of our rotary phones as they seem to be going for pretty high prices in antique stores.

Rednesday: Japanese Redware

This is my photograph for Rednesday hosted by Sue Loves Cherries. These are Japanese Redware pieces from the 1950s. They are more easy to find and a lot more affordable than antique New England Redware pieces. The Redware name comes from the reddish clay used to make them not necessarily from their exterior color which usually is brown or black. These pieces are so very Mid Century and super kitschy!

Do you collect any Mid Century items?
