Ring, Ring

I've been enjoying going through my old magazines from the 1940's. It is fun to read and explore the world as it was before I was born. I guess I kind of glamorize those days because to me it seems like it was a more romantic age. I love the illustrations and ads that I find in those magazines. Many of the products I recognize but others have gone from our store shelves and homes. It is also fun to see that stars promoted items in those days too. I don't think they were paid as much as the today's stars are paid for endorsing an item though. I've listed some vintage product ads along with some movie promo ads in my reprise shop at etsy.

Happy Thanksgiving!

If You Can't Stand the Heat...

...use tongs. I don't like to cook or bake. Luckily for me my partner is a wonderful cook. She worked her way through Graduate School in several different restaurants as a cook. I know I'm spoiled, but don't hate me.

Even though I don't cook I do love vintage kitchenware. In fact, I have more kitchen collectibles than anything else. Wonder why that is? My mother, grandmother, and great grandmother were wonderful homemakers. They loved to cook, sew and craft. Vintage kitchenware gives me yummy memories of growing up enjoying their home cooked meals. I just didn't inherit their genes I guess.

If you love kitchen collectibles please check out my reprise shop on etsy for vintage kitchen items. Hey, you don't have to use them. They look wonderful sitting on a shelf or in a china cabinet too. Trust me.
