I guess like the saying goes...time flies when you are having fun! Can't believe another week has gone by. Don't forget to visit the other bloggers at Vintage Thingy Thursday for some more unique and interesting Vintage items.
One tradition that has been in my family for 4 generations is making cookies. Both my daughter and I love to make cookies. At Christmas time we always make cut-out sugar cookies. We have been using the same recipe that my mom and her foster mom used for years. Last summer when I was at the family homestead in Ohio, my dad gave me some old cookie cutters knowing that we
are always baking cookies. Instead of keeping them in a box, I have them hanging on either side of my kitchen window ( no space for anything else really). I did buy a few more last fall at an antique store. I love to think of who might have used them and how many cookies they have made. I will continue to look for more on my travels this summer.Happy Vintage Thingy Thursday!
P.S. I think my post last week didn't work, so scroll down to see some of the tools that my great grandmother use to us to make her croheted doilies, or tating, knitting, check out the name on the pin box!
I love your cookie cutters. They made me think of the cookies my mom used to make using her cookie cutters, and to be honest, I have not thought of that in years. Funny, how something will spur a memory.
ReplyDeleteHave a great VTT and a wonderful weekend.
I love those old cookie cutters! I've got a big jar full of the green-handled ones, and a couple red ones. What a great keepsake they must be for you, and what a great idea, hanging them around your window, so you can see them every day!
ReplyDeleteGreat little display! My mom had a gingerbread man like the cutter you have shown here. I remember she used it at Christmas, and we also decorated it to look like Santa! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI love those cookie cutters. I have always wondered how to display them--they don't look like they would be easy to hang.
ReplyDeleteLove that cookie cutter display. The ones with the colored handles are just the best!
ReplyDeleteHappy VTT

What a blast to see your cookie cutters because they are the same as the ones my mother had and used for years and years. She also had the ones with a wooden handle but these were used most often.
ReplyDeleteLove your cookie cutters..ooo, how I remember them. Happy VTT and have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour cookie cutters are great! I really like gingerbread men...but with sugar cookie dough!
ReplyDeleteYummy.
Great cookie cutters! I think those metal ones work so much better than the newer plastic ones. What a great idea to display them.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Adorable cookie cutters...I love the green handle :)
ReplyDeleteThe only vintage thingy I can post about is me and my husband....!

ReplyDeleteMy mom hase a gingerbread man like the one in your pic. Christmas cookie making is a fun time in our family too!
ReplyDeleteNow there's a useful collection, decorative too. Every Christmas for many years I have made cookies with my grandsons-their favorites are the "stained glass" cookies.Love those family traditions.
ReplyDeleteWhat a super display idea! I have some of the really old ones too!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing!
I have the same Christmas tree, bunny and chick. They were the cookie cutters we used with my mom when we made sugar cookies.
