Santa Sister Came to Town

Don't worry, Sister and I are fine and all is well.  We just had some major recovering to do from the holidays.  I'm finally home in rainy Astoria, missing my Sister so much.  I spent the entire day yesterday cleaning, unpacking, and making room for my prizes from Sister Santa.  I have to brag, because I have the best gift giving Sister.  She is always picking me up presents and Christmas is always extravagant.  I'm spoiled, period.  This year was no exception.  I received my usual new pair of boots and handbag, but you don't want to see that (although they are beautiful!)  You are here for the vintage treats, so here we go!


I will share my most favorite gift first, and yes I know it isn't vintage, but it helps me play my vintage things!  I pick up records whenever I can, but I didn't have a functioning record player until now!  Maddie, Sister, and I had a great time playing X-mas albums while I was down and it's great because it's portable, so I can bring it for each visit.  It was the first thing I unpacked when I finally got home and it was used all day yesterday while cleaning.  I absolutely love it.  And it is orange!  Now for some Pyrex goodness.
My first space saver, and it's Rooster Black, can you believe it?  I can't decide what color I'm going to spray paint the holder, any ideas?
A complete set of Pyrex bread pans thanks to the edition of the blue beauty!  If you look closely, you will see I'm cheating and the pink and yellow are actually desert dawn, but you wont tell anyone, right?

 I'm one away from having the complete set of yellow gooseberry, I just need the 442.  Until then, my new yellow 444 is gonna hang out with one of his partners and some butterprint.
And another completed set!  I now have my first full set of refrigerator dishes!  I actually really love Early American when it's brown and white, the gold, not so much.  Sister also thought this little, lone owl shaker needed to join my household.
 Sister also gave me the orange Fireking vase because it is my color.  Pretty pretty!
Last but not least, these sweet little Amanita muscaria mushrooms (oh no, my nature geekiness is coming out) that are Swedish stamped to join my window menagerie.  

Did I mention that I have the BEST Sister ever?  I will save Matt's vintage gifts from Sister for another day.  I can't wait until Sister shares here X-mas gifts!

I'm linking up over at the Thrifty Groove!
Until next time!
Sister Hanna

  4. How exciting a full set of fridgies! I love the 1957 "Rooster Black" space saver, and i'd go for gold paint,or maybe silver! Im happy you got a record player, i use my traveling one all the time! I practically keep it and the albums in my car, when we work on sets down at the theatre I haul all my musical albums and player down and we listen to them while working.

  6. The most fun gifts are the ones from people who really know your style! I'm sure you did some spoiling in return. So fun to see it all!

  8. I got the same record player (in red) from my husband for my birthday! I love it, and really enjoyed playing Christmas albums on it. I was lucky enough to find some of the ones I grew up with, it was great. You got some wonderful presents, enjoy!
