I Do You Do We All Fondue


My Mum came over one day before Christmas with her arms full of treasures to pass onto me. A friend was clearing out her things & wondered if I'd be interested in these things....
Would I???
I think we know the answer to that!


 My first fondue set in as new condition
Orange & with all the original bits & pieces



 An insulated jug


 A complete set of white canisters with gold accents



 GREEN Japanese made gravy boat & dish


And one of my Mum's dearest friends Aunty Junith passed on a couple of things too......


 Original Sunbeam hair dryer


 Which now tops my suitcase stack


Plus an anodised Italian cream whipper with the original receipt from 1972



And Mum picked me up a couple of frocks from an op shop sale.
This Jonathon Summers frock fits perfectly
Isn't the matching belt just gorgeous!?!
I can't wait for it to cool down a bit so I can wear this polyester pretty.

  6. I have that exact same jug! I believe it's an ice bucket, and it belonged to my grandmother.
    Loving the canisters - I have a thing for plastic ware.

  7. Isn't you mum a darling? Great fondue set - does any colour say 1970s quite like bright orange?!
    Love the canister set and the jugs and the pretty frock too.
    How is the heat, are you coping, and are you in a safe spot? I am concerned for my Aussie friends... xxxxx

  10. Oh I had a set just like that and then got rid of it, because I did not use it!! Dang, I wish I had kept it now. I think your Mum is awesome and her friends, for passing on such wonderful treasures. I am in total lust with the white plastic containers......I agree about polyester and the heat, its been hot here too. Hope the heat is not too extreme, take care,
