If you live in Utah and have missed this cute little Heritage Center in Taylorsville/Bennion, make an effort! They have interesting hours. Please look at the rest of the photos I took there on flickr ! That farm sink is the Bomb! I can only hope to score one in a farmhouse of my own someday in the future!

Mom at the Ranch during World War II while my Dad was in the Navy


Joyce with daughters Linda (me) and Brynn beside Mom's snow sculpture pooch

Mom didn't ever bore us with a conventional snowman, but sculpted dogs, bears, and a princess in a ball gown while we stayed warm and toasty inside, watching our wonderful mom entertain and amuse us through the picture window. Circa 1950.

This is my beautiful mother, Joyce, as a Senior at South High School in Salt Lake City.

Beautiful, vibrant, talented and creative, a popular coed, and her favorite classes were art and drafting!

This is my cute Grandma Edith!

A beautiful tall woman of Swedish ancestry, beautifully attired with hat, heels, and handbag. Love this wonderful woman, my mother Joyce's mom.

There are roses in my attic!

Wonderfully angled attic addition with sewing nook and bedroom beyond. Taken at an estate sale.

Cat in My Kitchen? Meet Flat Cat!

I am allergic to cats, but not this one!

There's always something on display to make you smile.

Primary Colors and Others in the Kitchen

True, there were side effects from using those perfect Pyrex Primary Colors all over the kitchen!

Some of my favorite magnets of the tower of mixing bowls, and the over-the-top 50s homemaker who has gone primary colors polka-dotty!

However you pile 'em or stack 'em, the Pyrex Primary Colors Sets are always the perfect display!

Don't they just "bowl" you over? Among my favorites of all time.

Pyrex Primary Colors are multiplying and about to take over the world, one kitchen at a time!

The sizes, colors, shapes and 50s style of these practical pyrex kitchen dishes is unbelievable.

Who can resist those clean and clear yellows, reds and blues? Fill your fridge with glass covered containers from the wonderful 50s and your neighbors will be so envious!

Fire King Sunrise Swirl 1949-1962

Piece by piece collection. eBay is a perfect place to find groups and individual pieces. The little bowls are so sweet for applesauce, fruit compote or ice cream. Can't believe I found the tray in red. Now have a plastic yellow crackle tray to go along.
