RED KITCHEN THINGIES

RED KITCHEN GATHERING
REMEMBER THE FREZE BOX ? Isn't if funny how we can forget things, then see something and ...ahhhh light bulb goes off and jerks us back in time. That is what happened when I saw these Kordite boxes. When I was a kid we had a large garden as did my grandparents and there was a lot of canning and freezing going on! It is what we ate on all year long. My mom got $25 per week for groceries family of five. Now for sure things were a lot cheaper back then but it still was a stretch even back then and she did that for over 25 yrs. until she past in 1969. any way these things are from a gathering I sold on ebay last yr.

  2. I think I used to have something like that tomato slicer, but I didn't know what it was. I'll have to look and see if I still have it.

  3. I love that whole little setting there, and those boxes have such great graphics on them. If I saw one, I would definitely buy it to display in my kitchen!

  10. Donna, your red kitchen makes me swoon every time I visit...it is such a comforting color. Your post made me think about my mother's allowance. I don't remember how much but she was a very good manager of money.
