    Boy, the coke bottle with the shaker top for ironing brought back memories big time, but my Mom used an Aunt Jemima syrup bottle for this. They actually included the shaker top with instructions to use for ironing when the syrup was all gone. I used to iron for her when I was a kid and I remember using that green labeled bottle with the green shaker top all the time. I am 59 and most of the things posted here bring back memories for sure. Thanks for the thread Ducky and for the memories...such a simpler time. Or at least it seemed so...

    Ducky, since there is a lifetime warranty, you may be able to get replacements for the pieces you own that contain BPA for the newer non-BPA plastic they use now? Not sure if you can, but hey, why not send them an email and find out? Can't "hoit" as they say in Jersey...not that I am from Jersey but have a good friend who always says that who is from there...LOL

    My mom had one of these sewing baskets when I was very young.  She still has it and she is 83 years old now.

    I had one of these for many many years, don't know what happened to it now. I loved it. Yes, we have Keurig, but this was much classier looking, don't you think?

    My dad used one of those old percolators that cooked on the stove right up until he died. Good heavens ducky, I never had such a beautiful set wedding night clothes - mine was white and long but not fancy. Loved Tupperware parties!  And a round hat box from Amelia? You should go online and see what that is worth!!!

    We got married at the courthouse. One week long engagement, we'd only known each other two months and a week. Last winter, for a cruise, I finally got my peignoir. It was black and lacy and showed off my DDDs. Spent a bunch of $ on it, guess I'll give away to someone who still has boobs.

    I remember that all of our table tops had these!!!  What a pain to dust and they had to be starched and ironed.  You can still buy these on Amazon.....but heck, you can buy anything there.

    Mrs. P, Were they called doilies? I thought that's what my Mom called them.

    Remember the pressure cooker?? We had one just like this one. I still have the bottom but not the top.

    Hi Slow, my mom called them "dresser scarves". Hated them so much along with all the "crap" my mom would put on the tables and dressers.  She had a collection of salt and pepper shakers that adorned every level space in our home.  My home décor is clean, modern and sparse.  Some people think we are in the witness protection program.  LOL.

    Lovely lace tablecloth Ducky.  There is nothing more gorgeous than a formally dressed table for dinner with all the linens, crystal, silver and china.  Drool!  Sadly, my mother used our dinner table for her chotchkies.  Oy!

    MsP - Witness Protection Program!!!! 

    I actually LOVE all the handmade dresser scarves I got from my Nana and my Grandma. I use them sparingly on antique pieces, but our decor is mostly light and airy and beachy... so I have a big tub labeled "Antique Linens"....

    DH and I BOTH have those blue-speckled turkey roasters that belonged to our grandmothers!

    But those pressure cookers? No way. My mom was terrified of hers, and passed along that phobia to me. Major kitchen explosion waiting to happen!

    I still remember our kitchen with dripping tomatoes all over after the pressure cooker exploded - fortunately, it was a small kitchen....

    I have one of those turkey roasters, too, inherited from in-laws estate.

    I have a beautiful lace tablecloth that was my mother's, it's Antwerp lace. It's packed away but I'll see if I can find something similar.

    This kind of lace.
