It's a blog party!

For My House is Cuter than Yours 1 year blogiversary you're invited to a little party! Please come in and make yourself at home! I stayed up all hours of the night to make and arrange to perfection these lovely treats for you all! Click on any foods to get a closer look, help yourself don't be shy!

let's start with some lovely appetizers! Please have as many as you like! I made sure to make one of Barb's favorites, Cock Kabobs with cocktail sauce!

(Betty Crocker's Frankly Fancy Foods 1959)
and if you don't see something at the table above please try a sample from this one below...."serve yourself sundaes" and "creamed ham in potato cups" go so well together! What's the brown carcass surrounded by pineapple rings, you ask? umm.. well the word 'savory' was involved in the title of the recipe.. isn't that enough for you? Eat up! I don't want any leftovers hanging around or crawling away!

(Sunday Night Suppers 1956)

And for our party craft project we will be making this "lovely" scrap craft housewife from kitchen cleaning apparatuses and trims! ahhh... so sweet and not a bit creepy!

(Betty Crocker Party Book 1960)

For dessert I churned out a number of jellied bavarians, minted snows, puffy whips and sparkling gelatin molds! Yes, you sure can have seconds on the pineapple and prune frozen dessert, I made extra just for you!

(Gay Melodies in Gelatin Desserts 1940's)
ahhh! This was the easiest party for me to plan and clean up after! Thanks for coming!

And now a little peek at where I really make all my dishes!
A tour of my kitchen!

I got my vintage stove for free!!!

above the stove. I love and collect vintage roosters especially if they are a fighting set. The love I have for this set on the wall just ain't fittin' to talk about.

The small pantry of vintage and old looking food containers. Granted I have 3 boxes of lard... so I don't think I would be making anything too appetizing from my 'stock'.

View into the laundry room. The vintage refrigerator doesn't work.. well not unless call working when you plug it in and turn the knob and it shocks you....Storing cleaning supplies in it (unplugged) is turning out much better for me. That Kitty Girl sneaks into many a picture.

a really crappy pic of the inside of the display cabinet. I collect vintage bar-b-que items, on the top shelf are the smaller things. The middle shelf contains some of the vintage cookbooklets and a few vintage drinking glasses with atomic starbursts, polka dots, and a couple of other designs that I don't know how to describe. The bottom shelf is the 'fine china' along with my very much loved set of corn kids chalkware plaques.
I didn't photograph everything in the kitchen... Didn't want to keep you all out too late, I noticed a few of you nodding off!
Again, thanks for coming by for the MHICTY shindig!

Thanks to everyone that reads and comments so I know I am not alone in my domestic undertaking adventures!
