5 gallon water jug, antique shop, Brooklyn NY, Ebay, geography kids, globe, globe bank, kids saving money, Travel with kids, vintage globe

We picked up this little pair of vintage globe banks at a Brooklyn antique shop this weekend for $10 each.  These banks are small- about 5″ tall and a good start to an inexpensive collection.  Ebay has quite a few globe banks listed here.  I love that they combine saving money and geography.  Banks used to hand these sort of globes out to kids to promote saving, (presumably in the institution stated once the globe was packed with pennies).  Our girls usually put extra change in our big glass jug by the front door.  Maybe these globe banks will be the start of their savings to travel the world.

We started fall off with apple picking and antique shops this weekend.  Chris found this giant pumpkin at Sun High Orchards after we picked 20 pounds (!) of apples.  I am excited to perfect a maple apple jam recipe with them this week.  The girls went on their first pony rides at the farm and Josie did not want to share her pony with any of the other kids waiting in line.  I scored a pair of vintage juice glasses decorated with fall leaves (for $.99 each !).  Ada found this crown at the last antique shop and decided it could live on the pumpkin when not on her own head.  There is officially a chill in the air today.  Welcome Autumn!

I found this vintage tablecloth and napkins at an antique shop for $12. Chris’ Nan used a similar cloth to serve refreshments on after her twice-monthly Bridge games. These diminutive Bridge cloths are the perfect size for a child’s table. I love the hand cross-stitching! So sweet. You will never find this at Walmart. Etsy has some similar versions here.

Juice Glass Love

I love vintage glasses.  We have a large collection in daily rotation, and they brighten up even the most boring beverage.  I especially love these tiny juice glasses (the stars, tulips and gingham in the photo), called Swanky Swigs.  The small Swigs from the 1930s and 40s make cheery little wine glasses.  I had a collection of them long before the kids, but they turned out to be the perfect size for little hands.  We have dropped our fair share, and it always brings a little pang when a favorite hits the tile floor…but I generally won’t pay more than $4 per glass, and a space on the shelf is a reason to go explore an antique shop.  We are planning the future kitchen shelves around the collection.  Etsy has a sweet collection of vintage glasses here.  Cheers!

antique shop, enamel bowl, hand washing, Maine

Washing fabric for a new project.  I love this enamel bowl.  I got two of them for $9 at an antique shop in Maine.  There are some similar ones here.  I use it is for hand washing delicate clothes and it was Ada’s favorite place to sit when she was a baby.  Simple, functional, beautiful.  Kind of perfect.
