Couple of random finds...
Star Wars Death Star bank.Not really a fan of the movies though I do like NASA stuff.Im not really sure why I bought it !


Bohemian bud vase,because one can never have enough vases! Mother snarked I should buy her some flowers to put in our many,many vases !

 

I am a fool for vintage vases. This is my kitchen window sill.

 

No jewelry, sigh, but I did spend enough on jewelry this month already. It's ironic that I have been decluttering and took four big boxes of books to a thrift Saturday that I bought more books. The small vintage cookbooks were 25 cents each and five for a dollar. At the Restore place, books were four for a dollar and then I got a 10% senior discount (furniture pics in a few days.) The picture frame is not truly vintage, but it's a very htf size, $1.


The big blue book has some great recipes. My husband sighed when I bought books, but I pointed out they are cookbooks and in that area, hope springs eternal.

 

Marko just to give you a heads up, if you happen to find a booklet from the Culinary Arts Institute featuring Italian cuisine, that is a very good seller. I see you have one that is French food from Culinary Arts.

 

Thank you! I just love the covers on these. I keep looking for the older Betty Crocker and Julia Child books, too.

 

Marko this is the most coveted BC cookbook that I know of

 

Thank you!!!

 

OMG, I have this exact cookbook!
My mother-in-law gave it to me back in the 1980s

 

And it is going NOWHERE, right? It's from Shop-Rite so would be a cross-collectible.

 

It's a keeper. Filled with basic peasant style Italian food. I have made many of the recipes in it. I think MIL got it from the local grocery store.
She marked it "1960" inside the cover.

 

Yes that is the one. I sold about 6 of that Italian cookbooklet over the years.

 

I have the earrings! We can make a beautiful set….

 

My son & DIL would move heaven on earth for anything star wars. Love the vase, now that is right up my alley.

 

BTW that Italian cookbook was also printed in Canada as well

 

That is a great find.

 

I love those. I received some yesterday not as great as the shop rite ones.

 

Some supermarkets even put out their own. I have one somewhere from Julia Waldbaum, aka Waldbaum's supermarkets. They were a CT chain that sold out to A&P before it went under. My dad found it somewhere.

 

We had Waldbaum's out here and in Brooklyn. As well as the A&P.
I bought some of those POS cookbooklets in my younger years. Mostly baking stuff.
The booklets are so fragile from use they often fall apart easily from use and storage.

I have more here from the Culinary Arts that I picked up at a few sales that are vintage.

 

I don't buy them any more, but when library book sales used to be good here I sure did!
