ONE LONELY CAKE TIN!!



   This week I am participating in Vintage Thingie Thursday hosted by The Colorado Lady - click on her button on the side bar if you would like to participate.

My post this week is about an aluminum cake tin that belonged by my mother-in-law.  She has been gone for sometime so I feel since I've been married over 30 years and it has been in my possession it is probably from the 1950's.  OK -  HERE GOES!!

I am a lonely cake tin
as lonely as can be

My other owner used me -
this one just let's me be

I used to go to holidays, birthday parties, games and such
But now my days are lonely spent sitting in a hutch

I am a lonely cake tin
as lonely as can be

Now she has ANOTHER much PRETTIER THAN ME!!

Blessings to you all during this wonderful holiday season,


Jo

    Jo~~~

    My Mom had a cake tin just like this. Oh, you brought back a memory of something I had forgotten. That is what these vintage events are all about, I guess!

    Great post, my friend!

    Cute poem, makes me sad for the cake tin. You must take it out and use it once in awhile!

    Dear Lonely,

    Don't you worry about Ms. Newbie Cake Plate, I'm sure she was NEVER as functional as you are!!!!

    Also, sitting in a hutch is actually a promotion to a place of prominence!!!

    I happen to LOVE you.

    That's a cute poem. It reminds me of the "Percy the Puny Poinsettia" song.

    Did you write the great poem to go with your cake savers? Good job if ya did. It's nice to have things passed on from someone. Your flowered one is gorgeous.

    You just have to take little cake tin out and use it a few times, so it won't be so sad. I like it better than the new one..

    Your old cake tin is lovely and holds such dear memories for you. I have a similar one and enjoy using it. Loved the poem!

    Bonjour§ Love the old tin cake pan but then I've been know to be too sentimental. The newer floral is very pretty. I agree with Allison's comment above - hope you make a cake for them both.
    Thanks for stopping by my blog, it is much appreciated.

    We had a cake pan like this for years. In fact, the one I have now looks similar. However, your newer version is very pretty.

    What a lovely lonely cake server. I can remember my hubby's aunt bringing her cakes to the family picnics years ago in a similar cake pan. I've only seen them in the antique shops and mostly all banged up.

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
