It is easily overlooked that what is now called vintage was once brand new.

I think I've mentioned a few times my great love affair with vintage doodads (don't you just love that word?) and this doesn't cease when it comes to my kitchen.
One day, I dream of having a 1950's inspired kitchen, with raised counter tops just like Julia Child had because I happen to be a bit taller than the standard counter accommodates. I want a lovely old Libra cast iron scales. My mam has these and I adore them so much, sure they aren't as accurate as the modern digital ones but isn't that some of the charm?
I also dream of a gorgeous 6 burner stove, oh how I'd bake the hell out of one of those babies!
- If this were a 6 burner I would be in heaven!
Even the aprons I adore, I personally think they looked better and covered better, after all - isn't that their purpose anyway?
Obviously this kitchen of mine is still a dream, for now at least, but I do have some cute little knick knacks already stashed away waiting for the day when we have our very own place and I can go nuts in the kitchen! For an example (and one I'm very proud of) of my knick knacks, here's my salt and pepper shakers...well not my actual ones, but I have the exact same set :)
- Aren't they adorable?
I know, I know, I'm making you all jealous so I won't put any more examples up or tell you how devilishly difficult it was to source them or the good deal I got on them when I did find them...Ok! You bent my arm! It was £15! How good was that?!
Anyway, I digress, my main point of this article is to ask if I should post more vintage recipes on here? What do you guys think? And also to tell you I have started another blog
Vintage Daub to get some of my addiction out of my system. I hope that you go check it out and look out for the vintage kitchen paraphernalia reviews and tips!
Happy Baking!
