Gift Ideas For The Vintage Kitchen

The saying, "What's old is new again" couldn't ring more true for today's kitchens and cooks. Vintage lines of cast iron and copper cookware, delicate milk glass cake stands, and retro tableware have popped up in even the most contemporary home good and kitchen supply stores. There's no doubt that just one fantastic vintage set of silverware, plates, glasses or even a cookie jar in your kitchen will add personality, inspire conversation and take your presentation to another level. Here are some of my favorite vintage pieces.

1. I Love Lucy Cookie Jar: $72.99
This I Love Lucy Cookie Jar design comes from the Pioneer Women episode where Lucy and gang have a bet that they won't use modern conveniences. Lucy ends up using too much yeast in her wood fired oven, and out comes a huge loaf of bread. Commemorate this hilarious episode with your very own Lucy Oven Cookie Jar.
A set of four 11" vintage plates inspired by neon diner signs of times long past. Made of melamine. Dishwasher safe, but NOT safe in microwave.


Inspired by original vintage menus, this Ice Cream Fountain Service Menu Cover takes your dining experience back to a sweeter time of chocolate malts, strawberry sundaes and overloaded banana splits! A fun and unique addition to ice cream parties, kids birthdays and more! And with the downloadable insert, you can create your very own menu that coordinated with the cover.


Reminisce of summer memories long past with these Woody Salt and Pepper Shakers. These Woody Salt and Pepper Shakers are finely handcrafted from clay and then hand painted. Shakers are crafted to look like a 1940s Woody Wagon, and the top lifts off to become separate shakers.

This cake stand screams of the 1950's, with its delicate milk glass build, ruffled edges and stippling along the stand. A beautiful addition to any kitchen, hutch or serving platter ro appetizers and desserts. Heck, it would look beautiful as a display for perfume bottles.

A stylish way to protect your tables that is great for the environment too. Cut from the center of recycled classic vinyl record labels and then sealed so moisture cannot seep in, these hand made record coasters are sure to be a hit with any music lover! Comes in a set of six assorted labels packed in a clear, round case. Each measures 4" in diameter. Made in Brooklyn.
