Vintage Thingies Thursday - Smiley Faces



This postcard has an undivided back and was published by The Metropolitan News Co., Boston. The hearts may indicate that it is a Valentine, though I had it filed with my general comics.

vintage potholder faces

These potholders are ones I found online a few weeks ago. They represent a new direction for my potholder collection. I like thingies with faces, and I also want to collect some potholders with appliques or pieces of vintage print material. I was lucky to get three at a time, all of which are in like new condition.

    Your potholders are very unique. At least they should put a smile on your face if you use them.

    I love these potholders! You are so lucky to get them...they are not easy to find-there seem to be many more crochet potholders than fabrics ones left.

    What fun those potholders are. They have the same look as aprons of that age.

    Great card and cute potholders. Is it just me or does the top potholder look like the lady on the postcard?
