My Mom had the Hankscraft Humidifier, she used it in my room when I was a little girl.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother had the tin bread pans, and aluminum measuring spoons. :)

ReplyDeleteHi there! Enjoyed this little scavenger hunt! My Gram Balko had both the alumninum measuring spoons and the aluminum donut maker in the Laura's Last Ditch gallery.
ReplyDeleteOn a related note, I've actually been looking for several years for some really large, dark green, depression glass salt and pepper shakers. These were my great-grandmother's and they sat on my grandmother's stove top her whole adult life. :-)

ReplyDeleteI could watch that mini Lip Smackers video over and over again just to hear that satisfying clicking sound the lid makes... and to laugh at/with you:)
ReplyDeleteWow! Great fun! My mom owned a cast iron cornbread pan like the one on the second page...that mimics the look of ears of corn.

i found an Ebelskiver Pan - Cast Aluminum at my grandmother's house and never knew what it was for!
ReplyDeletethe post about your grandmother being WOWED by her computer is adorable!
ReplyDeleteMy Mom had a similar waffle iron. Yumm.
ReplyDeleteAck!. I got to page 11 of your Etsy page and had a huge list then lost my post! Grandma was born in the 20's and mom in the 40's. I was born in the 70's and just started having babies in the 00's. I have tons of hand me down kitchen wares from my grandma and my husband's grandma who we both lost in the late 90's. I use both of their pyrex bowls daily. It's the milk glass with different color outsides (small ones are blue, medium red, large green)
ReplyDeletei love the post on here the only thing i can think of that i had that was my grandma's is her cooking books and original west bend crock pot..
ReplyDeleteMy mother owned the aluminum measuring spoons and the Revereware pots and pans. I have the pots and now and use them daily. Not sure where the spoons ended up.
ReplyDeleteI would like to win the book so that I can once again see the knight's armor fashioned from pop can tabs!
Ask Becky about her expression and thoughts when I handed her the library copy of TG eleven years ago. Still makes me chuckle!

Donna, are you the one I have to thank for introducing my sister to TG (and by extension, me)?
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. Ask Becky for the story. I cannot do it justice via cyberspace! I miss you girls!

My grandmother had An ancient deck of Trivial Pursuit that no one knew the ansers to, not even my grandparents. Needless to say we didn't play it very often and stuck to UNO.
