buy me!

When I saw this vintage nut cracker bowl I was jolted back to my grandparent's house where one of these sat on the coffee table. It took my brother and I YEARS to figure out what it was. Even when an adult would tell us "it's a nut cracker," we had no idea what that meant (really, when you're that little peanuts and cashews are about all the nuts you eat and generally are pre-shelled- what's the need for tools?).

But, all that didn't stop us from playing with it. From the smasher and pickers (them there's technical terms), to the conveniently shaped dish (looks like a good pretend wheel to me!) we could NEVER leave it alone- I'm sure much to my Grandma's chagrin.

Anywhoo, bop on over to the pinkshirtsandcarwrecks vintage shop if you have some children to entertain and or need a good wheel for the fort you're building out of couch cushions in the living room.

Holy Frick it's Friday!

This week FLEW by! Seriously, events, meetings or dinners every night (prohibiting the hermit in me to head straight home after work) really makes time move quickly! (That makes me sound much more glamourous than I am. I feel compelled to admit that my events this week were: a potholder exchange, book club, girls night and volunteer meeting).

I'm researching vintage matchbooks for a work project and came upon this video that I'd forgotten about. Watch it. Love it. Wish ya did it.
