Then, of course, my mind started traipsing backwards in time and I thought about how colorful tumblers like these came into my life.
Cottage cheese! Yes, you could buy these in the store with cottage cheese inside. Afterwards, they served nicely for drinks at lunch or dinner.
I'll bet my mother still had a few of these somewhere, but I never stumbled over them when going through some of her things.
Perhaps someone else did. At any rate, seeing them in the magazine made me think that I could probably find some like them, and I wouldn't even have to go to a flea market.
Of course I discovered them on Amazon, my go-to site for almost anything and everything. Yes, they're new and not the actual "vintage" item, but they'll show off nicely in one of my country cupboards, like this one that spotlights some Coca Cola stuff and some cute dinnerware.
I'll have to rearrange a few things, but now I can't wait to do just that!
The mid-century ones would probably be fun to have, though, and whenever I do go to a flea market or collectibles shop, I'll have my eyes peeled.
What kinds of items ignite your collectible fancy? What do you collect?
