Vintage kitchen puzzle Giveaway!

I love to cook. I also love vintage, so it's no surprise to me that one of the things I love most to collect is vintage kitchenalia! I prefer the bright happy colors of 1940s and 50s kitchen fashions--tomato red, cornflower blue, aqua and yellow make my heart sing every time.

I was tickled then, when I found this puzzle at a yard sale one summer:I love to look at the photo and identify all the things I have in my kitchen: the red Krispy Kan, bowls of beaded fruit, stacks of printed tablecloths and dishtowels, green wooden-handled utensils, a red plaid metal picnic basket. There are also a few things in the photo I'd love to add to my collection, like the little chicky egg cups and the scotty dog light switch cover.

I've done the puzzle and it's complete. It has 750 pieces but it's not too difficult to put together. If you love vintage kitchenware like I do and would like to win this puzzle, just leave a comment on this post between now and Friday at noon. I'll draw a winner this sometime this weekend!

  1. What a fun puzzle. Some of it reminds me of my mother's kitchen when I was growing up. Please put my name in the drawing! Congratulations on your new little one!

  2. Thanks for sharing this as it took me back to my Grandmother's kitchen. Like you I love the reds and yellow and aquas. Though this was the early 60s, her kitchen held many things from much earlier. I can still see it all in my mind, smell the delightful smells and almost taste........

  3. I haven't done a jigsaw puzzle in a few years. It's such a great winter project, and we may have a few more months of that here in Chicago.

    OK, so I may be a little bit late, but I'm hoping since I'm on Hawaiian time, I can still get in on this. I think the puzzle is supercute and would love to do it on a rainy day (our winter in Hawaii, which is happening right now). Aloha, surfergirlie

  10. How funny, the elderly woman I care for has been talking about finding a fun, colourful puzzle which she can hang in her kitchen ..and then my friend sends me a link to this page!

    She was (is?) a wonderful artist, she loves collecting things especially pretty and interesting pictures (her house is jam packed with 90 yrs of stufffff).

    Thanks for making me smile :)
