VINTAGE THINGIES THURSDAY

When we bought our mountain property in 1972 it had a tiny three room "dry" cabin circa 1900 on the lot. We had three small children and for two summers had fun playing house in it before we had it moved to a better spot and started the major additions and renovations. But the original cabin had two beautiful stoves in it. We used the small woodstove for cooking and heat. Cooking with wood is not as easy as one might think but we managed to keep everyone

fed. It now has a place of honor in our family room.

The second stove is an old "Heatalator" wood burner that we kept as part of the rebuilt cabin and still use on chilly mornings.

VINTAGE THINGIES THURSDAY HURRAY

Just found another great post opportunity. "Vintage Thingies Thursday" I can do Vintage-- I am Vintage. Until 3 years ago at the cabin we had avacado green countertops, and a refrigerator the same color until about 6 years ago. The girls in our family would love to redo my house and I would love to win the lottery so they could. I cannot tell you the last time anyone saw me in an apron and yet my fondest memories of my grandmothers always have them wearing one.

This is a photo of some great friends and neighbors of ours. They have 7 or 8 antique Model T's and Model A. This is their newest baby. It was in about 10 pieces when he found it and hauled it home and put it back together. They all run-- very smoothly, thank you.

The following pictures are of a great store that just opened a branch in my neighborhood. It's called "Hip and Humble" and is owned by two sisters that grew up in our neighborhood. They deal in retro and vintage originals and reproductions.
I was so excited when I rounded the corner in the small shopping center and there it was in front of me.
