Collecting Collectibles

Ooohh, such lovely finds! I always look for lunch boxes when I'm out and about but so far haven't had much luck. I loved watching the Partridge Family when I was young. Thanks Dave for showcasing all these wonderful shops - I'll be visiting soon! Linda. :)

Great stuff, I want that Partridge family lunch box!

Great finds Dave and I think Dorene's S&P is so adorable.
I too, was intrigued by the hot dog cooker. Ha! A fun vintage piece for sure!
Question - How can I Pin each individual blog. I have a Blog Board and I didn't realize all the blogs I've been pinning have only been of the VV Home Page except for the Frog Blog. Ha!

Leila Blakely said...

Oops - Never mind. I keep seeing the Pin on the right and not the one just below the blog that is 'not' highlighted. Got it!
