Kitschy Fun...

 

Ooh la la. Meet my newest friend.

 

This darling gal was found at World Market to carry cakes and pies.

 Just in time for all the party's we have going on lately and picnics too. I love it...I can carry a cake and a pie at the same time in this baby. Or a cake and mini cupcakes. Totally useful and cute in the kitchen of course.

 

This bright sunshiny girl was snatched up in a New York minute while hunting through my local Thrift.

 Just a couple bucks spent and I am one happy gal.

  

And...This Campbell's kid girly made her home in my kitchen...Another find for just a few dollars.

 She had to come home with me. Just look at that chubby face and her big eyes. She looks adorable on my kitchen shelf. Maybe I can recruit her to do some baking for me.

 

Now to get baking....Which I am planning on this week.

 I have to make some desserts for my Dear Mr. Darling's Graduation party this weekend.

One pie I will be making is this :

 

Summer Strawberry Sour Cream Pie

Looks yummy. I am also planning on making my famous

 Banana Bread Trifle and a Strawberry Pound Cake Trifle. Yummy.

Summer is almost here...Are you all ready?

Do you have any plans. We do...Will share soon.

Have a Happy Tuesday.

I'm A Campbell's Kid.....

I must confess I am a Campbell's Kid. I grew up on Campbell's Soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. It was always good and inexpensive during hard times. I guess to me it is a comfort food. I love soup !

As a mother now, I too, make my children Tomato Soup & grilled cheese sandwiches. It has become a favorite lunch staple in my household, with crackers on top.

In 2004 The Campbell's Kids celebrated 100 years ! Though Campbell's Soups (Joseph Campbell) has been around much longer than that. I adore the chubby cheeked children illustrated by Artist Grace Wiederseim Drayton

( later known for her Dolly Dimples & Dolly Dingle illustrations & paper dolls)

so much that I even started a collection of vintage mugs and soup bowls.

I couldn't resist these sweet little cherub like dolly's for my daughter... which will soon reside in her playhouse this Spring. I found the little book from the 50's last year.... too sweet !

I will always be a Campbell's kid I suppose.

It's HMMM HMMM good !!!
