Nostalgia

Hello,

Its like stepping back in time to my grandmother's and mother's houses. For me, alot of good memories accompany these pictures that take me back to a certain date and time. Its like being there again with the people that have long since passed.

I don't know where you find all of these but thank you for posting.

Hi Scott, Some of the ads are from the net, other's are from my collection of vintage magazines. The Modern Living series once comprised of 16 parts, but as mentioned before, practically all the ads were lost. Hence the rebuilding. Glad you like it and enjoy, there are much more ads heading this way!

I still have a Flint spatula like the one in reply#14 that belonged to my aunt. She gave it to me when I first moved out on my own in 1970. Every time I frost a cake, that what I use it. In fact, just this morning I frosted a Milk Chocolate cake made from scratch with Mocha frosting. Nothing frosts the sides of a layer cake better. There’s chip out of the handle, but it don’t hurt the run’n of it none! I’m pretty sure that putting it in the dishwasher is what caused the damage, too late now. I’ve also have the ladle and potato masher. And here’s a picture of the cake too.

That's good news. Thank you again.

I wish I would have been wiser growing up and realize that one day all I will have are the memories. I find myself desperately trying to surround myself with things that remind me of the past. It doesn't seem like current memories are nearly as dear to me, for whatever reason.
