Minnie Mouse costume head

I just found this item when I was going to garage sales this morning. I do not know anything about it but thought I would share it. It is Minnie Mouse. Obviously the head for an adult costume. I just thought it was neat.

Excitiing happenings

Well, our 5th anniversary celebration is approaching. This last week my landlady put in central heat and air for us. Our old unit was originally a  Chrysler Air Temp water cooled unit. It had been converted at some point. We also had an boiler for steam heat. The air had probably been here since the 1950's and the furnace even longer. It will be nice on June 4th to have modern air conditioning when we welcome people to come in and help us celebrate our anniversary.

Vintage cook books

I was going through my recipes yesterday and realized how much I love cook books. One of my favorite cook books was my Great Grandmothers. I would never cook anything from it, it calls for things I have never heard of, but I love all of the handwritten notes she made. I also have one from my Grandmother. In between the pages she has inserted clipped and hand written recipes. I remember her making some of them. When you are in an antique store take the time to browse through the vintage cook books. You will be enchanted.
