So many people ask me "what are you going to do with that?" and they say it with a sneer on their face and a disgusted voice. This is what I do with it...
I have a second kitchen in our house (used to be a granny flat) and I keep all my vintage kitchen stuff there. 
I have Don's mother's original stove from the 50's, her old kitchen table and chairs and even the step stool chair from her kitchen from back in the day. I'm sure Donnie spent alot of 'time-out' on that in the corner!
This cabinet was originally a medicine cabinet in the nurse's room at S.C. Johnson in Brantford. Now it holds my placemats, napkins, guest towels and doilies.
I have a great collection of crocheted potholders, some of them are displayed in this kitchen, some I use.
A few enamelware pieces that are a bit too shabby to use for much.

Love this little pot I got a few weeks ago.
Some of these kitchen utensils look medieval!
I think the labels on old spice bottles are so cool. And the colours!
Some of these bottles of spices were originally manufactured in Brantford.
The mustard bottle is new, but the look is vintage.
This scale was in the general store in Renton that Don's parents ran when he was small. It has the full set of weights on the back.
When we cleaned out the house next door for Bryan, I found a lot of 'good junk', including a box full of old hand-written recipes written on the backs of envelopes, note paper, what-ever was handy I guess.
Think I found these bowls next door too.
Don actually brought this home from a customer one day for moi! What a guy...
I've always wanted a full set of 'days-of-the-week' towels, but the vintage ones are out of my price range, so I embroidered my own. Love the tea theme on these.
An old set of cannisters I found.
These fireking mugs were from Bryan's too. So 'Diner-ish" 
Mamma, if you bring home much more, my dad's going to have to add on!

Hey you thanks for checking out my blog...Many years ago, like back in the 70's, I started collecting, some call it hoarding, everything old. I've been through so many fazes from art deco, everything
50's, western but finally stopped at a hodge podge style of all of the above when I move to NM in the 90's. Then along came eBay and bye bye it went...I even quit my job for a few "minutes" to rake in all the loot. I knew I could always get more stuff but there are times I wish I had it all back, especially the western stuff. I love the way you've put yours all together, makes a gal want to sit down for a cup'a joe and gossip and maybe whip up a cake ala hand crank style eggbeater, in a big ol yellow pyrex bowl. I'll show up for breakfast too in your fantabulous kitchen... 50's is my fav era since I was born then. I'm adding you to fav blogs to peek at.
Rock On FeeBeeLouweez and Spike Gail&Callie =^..^=
