Sidetracked

Don't you just love it when you go on Pinterest to look for a recipe and see one thing that reminds you of being young, living at home with your family, and not having a care in the world? I did that today, and I saw these.







Each one instantly took me back to a place and time I miss, and that really made me happy.

Have a great Wednesday, my friends.

  4. We had those plates, and my mother was a world class afghan crocheter....we always had one draped on our brown plaid couch, which faced our huge-0 three channel cabinet tv...next to our hexagonal wood end tables with black American eagles on them, in our green carpeted living room.

  6. What memories these pictures brought back to me! My husband had a set of those Corelle dishes when we got married. We added to the set in the early years. My mom had one of those Tupperware bowls. Thanks for the blasts from the past.

  12. Still have and use the yellow Tupperware bowl - such a great bowl for so many good uses. Never used it for upset stomach or it would never have returned to the kitchen - ha!

  15. I still have that bowl. I use it for EVERYTHING. Especially making the stuffing at Thanksgiving. It's the only thing big enough to make the amount I have to make.
    We had those plates from when we married until about 5 years ago! So about 40 years! Now they're in our camper so I guess I still have them!
    The same afghan, exact colors made by my grandma who taught me to crochet. Same phone and jarts too. Thanks for this blast from the past!
    Blessings and hugs,
    Betsy

  16. We have those plates in our cabinet and are used daily! And the B&J's were a big deal for our coming of age drinking.

  19. I still have some vintage tupperware. That is funny about the phone. Yes, the homemade blankets were the best. I still love them!

  20. Wow 🌞 you found old Tupperware!! I remember that bowl as my mom had one and I used to have one. Now I have a glass bowl that I use for baking and putting lettuce in to clean the lettuce with YL fruit and veggie soak. Nice old phones and in one spot. We had a black phone on a wall in first house I lived in when I was a kid. Cozy homemade blankets are nice. My sister-in-law made one for us that we still use. I'm glad we have more blue sky and sun. It's been cold for a week. Have a day my friend !!! 🌷 Becky
