Vintage Thingies Thursday






Oops I nearly forgot to post my Vintage Thing Thursday items! Coming back from Virginia I have tons of new Vintage Thingies !! Vintage means "Old with a Purpose"!! These are just a few of my finds I brought home. From the top before anyone gets upset....No she is not a real baby! I make reborn babies and found this beautiful old nursury scale to use as display and weigh my babies for accuracy when weighting them. It was also fun to weigh the new puppies on after not seeing them for 10 days. Also is a mint green and mint condition Handy Hannah Hairdryer fron the 1960's. A few old tins, an old train case , miniture baking tins for my little kitchen ( see previous Vintage Thursday ) and a stack of old books, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm 1903, History of Virginia for Boys and Girls , 1933, Elements of Arithmatic, 1893, and Etiquette by Emily Post 1927. Maybe I should post from that book so we can all get some class!! Vintage Thursday Thingies is sponsered by Confessions of An Apron Queen @ http://anapronaday.blogspot.com/


Tomorrow is a big day so be sure you stop by and meet Stella and her friends.

Vintage Thingy Thursday



I found this neat idea on a friends blog, www.kitschnsinkstudio.blogspot.com/. I have tons of fun thingys that I would love to share. This great idea is Sponsered by http://anapronaday.blogspot.com/. You have to check out her site. I learned how to cook frog legs from her today. Not that I ever would but you never know !!

So Kristen, this is for you.

This is my kitchen in my kitchen. These are the shelves I have above my computer desk in my kitchen. I have wanted to play with this since my sister, Lonnie, had them when I was growing up and I was never allowed to touch. I had seen the individual pieces in antique stores for $65+ each. Out of my price range. I stumbled upon them on e-bay for $14.00 each. Even with shipping I came out way ahead. Now I can touch them and play with them anytime I want!! And because more than one is more fun.....


Now the reason I brought Kristine into this is that she has the cutest little mini ( and I believe it works ) dishwasher that matches. Now I'm on the hunt again! Wanna come and play???
