Vintage Sandwich Trays and Vintage Simplicity Sewing Pattern

This afternoon I listed 2 items in my Etsy Store. The first is a set of 3 Mid Century Orange Sandwich Trays with Cork Coasters.



These trays are in good vintage condition. The trays are approximately 10 1/2" x 7 1/4". These 3 trays are so cute. They are made of plastic and each has a coaster indent lined with cork for your icy drinks.




I also listed this cute 1960's Misses' Dress from Simplicity #4802. It is a size 16 with proportioned sizes according to your height. This pattern has the option of short or no sleeves. The skirt is so pretty with it's box pleats.

My store, KoolBeanz, has a variety of vintage items. Please come by and look around.

According to the calendar, spring is here. The weatherman says it should also feel like spring today, which is good. This morning is still chilly from an overnight freeze. I'm passing time window shopping at Etsy while Mr. Sun warms the earth.

There are many darling handmade crafts and lovely fine art pieces over at Etsy, but I'm cruising through vintage items this morning.

There are some vintage that can be used to create art pieces, such as this charming shabby chic assortment of blue vintage sewing supplies and bird images. This lot comes from the shop of Estate Sale Treasures.




Then there are pieces, such as these sandals from JP Sunshine Boutique, that remind me of when I was in high school. I had a pair of sandals similar to these...they were brown, not black. I loved the sound they made as I walked down the hall to class.



These jelly jar glasses remind me of my grandma. She had so many of these glasses in the kitchen cupboard. When I was a young child I thought it was so cool to drink from them. Thank you Popism Vintage for listing these fun glasses.



Vintage is so much fun for me because so many pieces remind me of times spent with different people, usually people I don't have in my life anymore. I love the warm and fuzzy feeling I get from remembering.
I also like vintage because it is so quirky and fun. The colors and patterns from the 60's and 70's are unmatched.
There are so many reasons to like vintage housewares, clothing, jewelry, books,....etc....Why do you like vintage pieces?
