Metal, glass, thread and linen

Thanks to Suzanne at Coloradolady for hosting Vintage Thingie Thursday. Please visit. I found these nut grinders in a Etsy shop. I would love to know more about them. The shop had a collection of crocheted potholders. I love the different patterns. The fan I already had but it fits right in with the collection. The heavy cotton tablecloth is a rectangle. I didn't measure it but probably 48 X 60. I included it in today's post because the colors looked good with my potholders! :) The next two items are finds. One I picked up at the local thrift store run by the Methodist ladies. The other one was left at the swap building at the dumpster site. Two little horses .

Aluminum

Over at Coloradolady, Suzanne is hosting this week's Vintage Thingies party. Do drop in and visit or put up a post and join us. Thanks Suzanne and all participants. I do enjoy this day! Today I have some aluminum to show you. First it comes in funnels and measuring cups and a juicer. One cup is an advertising item for Swans Down cake flour. Then we have a water pitcher. No marks on this one. Alfalfa was kind enough to steady the pitcher. He says, " Got milk?". Then he shows us the first of two cake carriers. This one is by Mirro, the finest aluminum, made in U.S.A. 2002 M He is pointing out one of the four latches that secure the top to the base. Click on photos for better viewing. The latches are operating by a ratchet type thingie on the bottom of the base. Murphy said 'big brother' had enough of the limelight and he could do this job in his sleep. This is a Regal , Regal Ware Inc., quality aluminum, Kewaskum, Wis. U.S.A. This carrier has two latches that perform on the swivel method. Thanks for dropping by. I'll be visiting a little later.
