As soon as I read the capitalized word, I remembered "Hay-Low, everybody, Hay-Low, sung by, I don't know who. But I can still hum the tune. Stuck in my head now, an ear worm.

Those glass mixing bowls that were white inside but colored on the outside with the holdy-handles flaring out on each side -- the dark turquoise one, the one with the ugly shade of green -- and the various Corningware dishes. The smell I would love to smell again was my grandmother's shampoo. She had brilliant, snow-white hair and used a blue shampoo called Halo. I have never been able to find any reference to it as an adult. more cowbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17867825812404503048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15524211.post-52802300886533106432015-08-23T18:49:03.425-05:002015-08-23T18:49:03.425-05:00It's very close to where I live.

What I love is the fact that all that stuff I thought was awful and tacky is suddenly a find. I also love the mix of as-is with the creatively refurbished. There's a set of strawberry pink mixing bowls I have my eye on, and I found an anniversary present there. I won't say what in case the hubs runs across this.

Wish we had something like that around here.jphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16060890364833394413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15524211.post-42674060501655737952015-08-21T10:31:12.128-05:002015-08-21T10:31:12.128-05:00When they say that smell is one of the strongest t...When they say that smell is one of the strongest triggers of memory, they weren't kidding. I've always loved almond-scented things because of my mom's Jergen's lotion. I thought that was the best smell ever when I was little. Yes, spice cupboards. It took a while for mine to acquire that really strong scent (which in my case probably comes from spills and cracked lids). Now if I could just find the Betty Crocker cookbook from 1960 something.Bad Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09589572246042881069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15524211.post-31227901069148404752015-08-20T12:40:56.342-05:002015-08-20T12:40:56.342-05:00Immediately, I see the straw purse with hideous fl...Immediately, I see the straw purse with hideous flowers like one my mom had as well, lol. And a fruitcake tin filled with sewing notions from my gran is in my craft closet. As is the cigar box of my mothers india ink set. So much of this resonated with me - the smell of the spice cupboard?!?! Oh that is so true, why had I never made that association before? Good thing I have you to do it for me. What a magical place! Sounds like a wonderland, indeed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
