The Daily Shoot assignment today was to photograph something old. I have a set of three vintage Pyrex mixing bowls that I use daily. LOVE THEM SO MUCH.
Here we have a mid-century Paul Bunyan and his chest hair. And Babe, the ox.
And before you ask, no, I did not buy these.
Goodbye, plastic razors!
In a fit of defiance against all those ridiculously expensive many-bladed, titanium-coated, moisture-stripped, plastic-encased replacement cartridges for all those enticingly designed razors (Fusion! Power! Silky! Women are from Venus! Men drive fast!), we picked up these vintage double edged safety razors at a local antique shop. They’re copper and brass, and made by Gillette sometime between the late 1920s and early 1940s.
Now I can walk by that stupid wall of replacement blades and disposable razors and just keep on walkin’. Oh yeah.
I adore vintage kitchenware. Not that I’m going to go out and get harvest gold appliances or anything, but I just love the little mod touches here and there. I found these two sets of Kromex canisters at different times in different places, and have put them all to good use!
Oh, hellloooo. Where have I been for a month? I don’t exactly… know… Working, I guess. We’ve been doing some organizing at home and I finally pulled out these tablecloths that Mama Wolf brought us on one of her visits. I’d never looked too closely at them. This one fits our table perfectly:
I’m thinking maybe this is Cluny lace, but I’m not positive. These belonged to Mama Wolf’s great aunt and uncle and she was given them sometime in the 60s when her great aunt passed away. I can’t tell when this was made, either, but am figuring it was the 30s or 40s… or before? I’m going to see if I can find some book of patterns and identify this any further.
