60's kitchen

1963 pyrex

Don't have any thrift finds today..or anything I made..as I am cleaning house up for company next weekend my dd and family are coming for a visit...they live in VA. So thought I would post pic of some of my fav kitchen items...the pyrex bowls were a wedding gift in 1963 all in great shape I did break the red one and found one few yrs ago at flea in VA for only $5 ...the colored plastic spoons are vintage advertizing from robinhoood flour co. I love the vintage retro things must be my age lol....when I had my store sold most of what I would find...now I am thinking about redoing my kitchen red vintage retro....

2 posts tonite.

I am trying to figure out how to make my "comments" show on each post. I think it maybe a blogspot problem. So for this second post thought I would show you some of my DIL's yard work

she had the kids each do a hand pring on flat rock then painted it and you can also see the 3 lady bug rocks she painted. So cute.

Thrift shop finds on Friday

need a purse?

Went to a local thrift shop this morning. No yard sales yet.
This is the loot got today. 2 Pkg of vintage wrapping paper,
Vintage baby shoes, vintage measuring spoons and some vintage patterns. Not too bad for $2.50. They also had purses on sale 50%off. Nice day so I started to painted the side entrance to my home it goes to the kitchen and basement. Will show before and after pic when I’m done. I must be getting old cause it wore me out (maybe its just been a long winter).

Altered tin box.

I got these mini tins they look like mini lunch boxes at WM. They were in the discount section had candy in them left over from VD. Here is a couple pic you can see the before and after so you know what they looked like. I made it for Easter photos named it Egg Hunt. I made them so you could journal on the back of tags photos on front.

Today was a great weather day in northwest pa. 64 and mostly sunny rain tomorrow maybe some snow. Ohhhhhhhhhhhh well! I want to paint my kitchen cabinets soon so I started cleaning the kitchen today. I will have bfore and after pic's when the time comes.

Having problem finding a chew stix for maggie...seems WM will no longer carry the one's she has been chewing from puppyhoood.

Waiting for fleamarkets to open!!!

everytime.

Tomatoes (someday)

Planted seeds 10 days ago now I got stems lol. They don't look like much now but just wait a few

months. My brother and I have been planting a garden the last few yrs. So this yr I wanted to

start a few heirloom plants. Brandywine is one and the other Shriver is a local heirloom. I paid

$5 for one Shriver plant and got 2 tomatoes but it was a little plant and it got planted late.

Sunshine all day but still cold. Can't wait to get out and start digging around. Need to prune my

roses also.

Went to a moving sale this am.....found out it is tomorrow...but wasn't total loss as went by my

handy dandy car guy and he fixed noise coming from under my truck. A heat sheild bolt came

off...(what ever that is) $9.00 to fix. NICE!

So off to the moving sale in the moring. It's been a long winter! with no sales to go to.

Can't wait!!

This is what I am waiting for!! These are hollyhock by my side door they are heirloom HH's they have been with the house for 100 yrs. For yrs I keep the cut down did not have time to
fool with them. Last yr let them go and this is what I got. 6 different colors. Another day inside
for us sun is shinning but snow at same time . ugh. Going to start cleaning basement so I can start working for my fall shows. I am thinking this might be my last yr for shows age is catching up with me. Maggie is so cute laying in the sun shine.

Hi again this post I am going to try a pic again of some tags I made last week. Sent one to my

dd for her big 45 BD. Maggie and I spent the day inside as it is still raining here in NW PA but glad it's not snow. Weekend looks like some sunshine think I will go out and check the spring fowers. I love to work in the yard and fower beds. Well all for now.

Have a great day! Donna & Maggie
