Description:

i love vintage kitchen goodies, and i think it would be great fun to swap the following items:

1 vintage cookbook 2 vintage kitchen items (glassware, tea towels, pyrex, whatever vintage-kitchen-goodie you think your partner would enjoy).

for this swap you will send the (above) three items (or more, if you so desire) to ONE partner. the items should be valued at about $25.00.

because everyone’s (vintage) kitchen is different, participants should leave a comment (or link to photos) about (of) their kitchen (colors, items they collect, and so on).

this swap is not about getting rid of unused items in your kitchen, it is about the enjoyment of seeking vintage kitchen treasures that will make your partner smile. and, remember, vintage does not mean last years christmas gift :)

restrictions: this is a US swap only (sorry to those overseas, but this is my first time hosting a swap). all swappers must have a rating of 4.8 or above. newbies will be considered if they have a completed profile, and send me a PM letting me know (how much) they want to join ;)

let’s get swappin’

I think this is a great swap idea! If my partner needs hints, I love roosters, cobalt blue, blue willow, and copper. I also love church and organization cookbooks or handmade ones or collections.

I love cherries, and red and white! I collect vintage half aprons too. (currently looking for a great round tablecloth)lol.

My passion is RED vintage kitchen gadgets. I also collect red retro salt & peppers. Another good idea for me is any kitchen stuff with elephants on it (vintage or not).

Seems like most of us are into red!

Much kitchen is pink and black and white ....I love old toys and things that make you smile just to look at them.
Thats more important than color I guess. I am also an avid apron collector!!! I can't wait to go shopping!!

Oh boy! This will be fun! My Kitchen is white with cobalt blue and copper accents. The theme is chickens and roosters. I love to bake and I love old cookbooks with weird recipes -like how to dress and cook a opossum or lettuce soup....oh and I drink LOTS of tea... mum's a Brit and it has always been "...a cuppa will make it all better" so tea pots and cozies are very cool

I'm in! My kitchen is a modge-podge of things: cookie jars, vintage/retro tin advertising signs, depression glass... I'll be painting this summer - pale yellow walls, red & white cabinets. LOVE flirty aprons, red & white polka-dots, entertaining, baking (cupcakes especially), tea cups........

I am a vintage girl trapped in a contemporary kitchen! I am going to play because I will use the items somehow in my craft room just to make ME smile! I absolutely adore vintage half aprons, the color red, old tins or cannisters, anything to do with baking... All things fun and sweet!!

I'm so glad I got into this swap! There are two ways to go for me with this swap. My actual kitchen is vintage 1940's: red, white and vintage sage-y green with cherries everywhere. Or my art studio is decorated like a vintage bake shop: cotton candy pink, light yellow and vintage aqua with faux cake and bakery accessories. I love anything food themed (including cake stands, etc), most especially cakes and cupcakes. I would love a dessert cookbook more than a "meal" cookbook, but anything vintage is fun.
