My Original 60's Vintage Vehicle

When you truly love vintage it flows over into all areas of your life. My husband and I just purchases this gem of vintage last weekend!

This is a 1968 Monaco 500 in near original condition. It has a 383 magnum motor. It is original to this car and was redone about 2000 miles ago. The paint and interior are original. It runs like a charm. We are so excited and can't wait for the weather to get nicer that we can actually take it for a run!

Here are some pics.
Have a wonderful weekend! I hope that you enjoyed taking a look at part of my vintage collection.

~ Our Collections of Vintage Time Keepers ~

There is just something about the ticking of a wind up alarm clock that brings me back to my Grandma's house in my younger years.
My parents would put us down to have a nap in Grandma and Grandpa's room. Being a hyperactive child, I did not do naps. The only comforting sounds was the tick tock of the clock on the bedside table as the other children napped.
Here are three of the clocks that are part of my collection.

These are my four vintage alarm clocks. The large silver one is battery-operated. The other three are all wind-up (though I rarely wind them, since the sound drives me crazy!). They are great through when decorating, to add character to a room.

The collection is growing...

When I moved when I got married, almost 4 years ago... I packed away many of my things from my old house. Several of those boxes have remained packed away until now... the items in them not needed, forgotten... The other day I remembered there were a few things that I hadn't seen since I moved and wondered where they were. So I opened one of the boxes, and this is what I found:

Two little #080 8 Oz Individual Round Casseroles! One in Flamingo Pink and one in Dove Grey. I completely forgot I had these and was thrilled to find them, since I have never come across these again! They are marked "PYREX, Made in Canada". I LOVE Pyrex, in all shapes and sizes, but I have to say that these miniature casseroles really are the cutest things ever!!


Also, a Turquoise Amish Butterprint Butter Dish. Marked "28, PYREX, Made in U.S.A."


And here is another recent thrift store find... a Turquoise Amish Butterprint Cinderella Mixing Bowl. Marked #443 (2.5 quart), Made in U.S.A.


I can't decide if I'm going to part with any of these beautiful dishes... or if they will just join my ever-growing collection of Pyrex... :)

My Unknown China Collection

I love this china!
Can anyone give me a clue as to what kind it is. I have been in touch with Replacements.com, but they cannot help me. It is missing mugs or tea cups and saucers and I would like to get some of these to complete the set.


I commented on the set when my friend owned it about 10 years ago. Not long after that as we were helping her move once again, she said that they would stay at the new home until they retired.
I told her "wanna make a bet?" I was just joking...not believing her as they had an above average number of moves in their history.
Next thing I knew she said,"If we move then you get this china!"
I explained to her I was just joking, and did not really believe that they would stay there that long, but did not want her to give up the china.
A year or two later the china was mine. I did not want to take it, but she insisted!
Here it is in it's entirety.

This set consists of:
1 lrg. platter
1 sm. platter
1 gravy boat
3 serving bowls(2/w lids)
12 dinner plates
12 luncheon plates
9 bread and butter plates
11 soup bowls
11 dessert bowls

These are the only markings that this china has. It looks like a W. Then a different number on each type of dish.

Here is the dinner plate.


Here are some of the serving dishes that make this set fabulous!


Any help anyone can offer me on the identification of this set would be greatly appreciated.

Collections: Part 2

Mugs....

Okay, so I have a few coffee mugs... well, maybe a few more than just a few. I don't really want to count them because I would probably realize I had far too many, but I know I have more than 30... probably closer to 40. Many I use, some I don't. But I love mugs. My favorite mugs are the small, stackable kind that were made in Japan. Hardly sensible, since I love a BIG cup of coffee.

{ This is a set of four stackable butterfly mugs, marked Made in Japan. I *LOVE* these and I don't think I'll ever part with them! }

{ These two are the same size and style as the butterfly mugs, also Made in Japan. Blue and green design with flowers and birds. }

{ These two are simple and super cute. Made in Japan. Plain white with a very retro orange and red flower design, these are classic. }

{ This one I found all on its own... it's a keeper though! Made in Japan. With a blue faux bois background, coffee break lettering on the front side, and mod flower design on the other side... it is one of a kind. }

{ My Mom's mugs are also made in Japan. They are newly listed in her shop Lucky's Vintage. }

Enjoy!
