Take Me To A Potluck!

pot·luck

noun \ˈpät-ˈlək, 1b also -ˌlək\

: a meal to which everyone who is invited brings food to share.

I personally Love a good Potluck dinner, preferably one served in a small town Knights of Columbus Hall or similar venue. Everyone invited brings out their tried and true best recipes to these events. Anticipation grows as the ladies setting up the meal bring out dish after dish and line them up on a long table. The tantalizing smells delight your nose and Rainbow hues of various types of Jello Salad are a sight to behold. After a quick blessing, everyone makes their way along the line, paper plate in hand.

Why bring your Sensational rendition of Tater Tot Casserole, King Ranch Chicken or Swedish Meatballs in an ordinary clear glass pan? Jazz up your presentation and be the envy of the Potluck with a Vintage Covered Casserole Dish!

This Fitz and Floyd Casserole has style to spare! The Red and White Polka Dots are a classic color combination and the tall shape is great for soups and stews. Offered by Comforte on Etsy.

Coffee Klatch Cuties

Coffee Klatch Cuties

While “Freebie” or “Gimmie” Coffee Cups serve their purpose and are quite functional, enjoying your favorite hot beverage from a Vintage Cup or Mug makes your experience so much more pleasurable!

I have a collection of Vintage and Retro Coffee “Singles” and love to switch them out daily when having my morning cup! 

Vintage mugs are an easy and inexpensive way to freshen and liven your kitchen at home or your desk at work. 

 They are such conversation starters too! Before you reach for that generic A+ Insurance Cup one more time, consider some of these lovelies.
