Vintage Monday - Toy Stove

I bought this cute Wolverine toy stove at an antique shop in Logan when I went on my quilting retreat.
As you know, I collect what I love and I also like to use what I collect and this fits right into my kitchen next to my sink like it's been there for years. Now it's a handy little helper and looks vintagey cute!
Serena over at the Farm Chicks is so inspiring and does the same thing. I love it when I can find inspiration from others and I hope others can find inspiration from me.

After finding the stove, I went on a hunt to find a childs saucepan to go on the burners. I really wanted to find one with a red handle so I searched until I did!
I love the one that I found, small enough to look cute on the stove but large enough to hold a sponge and scrubber.

When I saw this cut glass mini set of S&P shakers, I knew they would also look adorable on the stove...tiny red lids....how fun.

I already had this apron on my dish soap next to my sink....now she sits next to the stove.

This apron is part of a pattern I designed about 10 years ago called Cleaning Cuties.

I'm thinking maybe it's time to release it for sale again....what do you think?

I knitted these dishcloths a while back and I thought they would roll up just right and fit inside the oven.

These cloths are a fast, fun and useful project when you feel the need to pick up the needles!

These are the sponges that I like to use....O-Cello....they fit nicely in my hand and I like the colors .........

and the cute prints on the scrubby side. My motto is,

"if you buy something useful, it doesn't mean it can't be cute!"

That motto also works for my collection of all things vintage only switched around,

"if you buy something cute, it doesn't mean it can't be useful!"
