Crafts made of old artificial Christmas trees?
Comments (1)maybe paint some PVC pipe and put some limbs in to look like a weird palm tree.... dress a doll in the limbs and maybe some wings from the limbs and you have a forest fairy... geeme...See MoreIs this old, like 60+ years old, or how old?
Comments (11)The onemy Mother has is the same as the one in the photo. It has a handle on the back and is used as a milk/cream pitcher. I remember seeing them on the shelf at the 5&10. There was another one exactly the same size only it did not have a handle on the back and it was made in two pieces. The red base that you see was a sugar bowl that extended up as high as the hands on the figure and the yellow shirt of the figure extended down over the top of the sugar bowl. There was also a set of salt & pepper shakers in the exact same design, but they were only about 4" high. One had three holes on the top and the other had a single hole so you could tell salt from pepper. If you look at the hands in that photo it appears that the red paint on the shirt cuffs has chipped from age. Now I am not saying that the paint won't chip off, but many of them had those same type of worn spots in the store as if that was the original design. I remember that the salt & peppers were $.15 each or the pair for $.25 and three or four times I saw my Mother pick them up and ask me,,"What do you think your dad would say if I got these?"...See MoreIt's getting OLD, really old! How old is yours?
Comments (13)LOL, Vique! That's a good one. As the 60 year old kitchen technician in our house, I hope my six year old dishwashing machine lasts longer than I do. It does a great, quiet job. But, Boo Hoo, my sewing machine conked out today. It will sew only in reverse! It's a 36 year old computerized Singer that has sewn thousands of garments, gowns, drapes, curtains, etc. over the years. I haven't decided what to do yet - try to get it fixed or get a new one. Thing is, they're so expensive, but I really use my machine a lot! I'm always in the middle of a project, but today I'm in the middle of three projects! I'm very annoyed right now....See MoreSuch old, Old, OLD posts!
Comments (22)On the old KT, there were 25 (or 30) titles per page, and 67 pages, with the ones left at the end of page 67 dropping over the cliff into a chasm ... or, so I thought. But if one were to conduct a search, using several relevant words, I think that some could be retrieved from archives, after that. Some of the slower moving forums had really old titles on page 5 or 6, of maybe a dozen or 14 in total ... don't think I ever checked how old the ones were on some of those oldest page lists. ole joyful...See Morevalinda
