Vintage Thingies Thursday-Happy New Year



Another great year with Coloradolady is ending today for 2010. For a final showing of the best of vintage thingies visit her and friends at http://colordolady.blogspot.com. It has been a pleasure participating in Vintage Thursday each week.





The two following coffee percolators are very vintage. My parent used these.
This one was used after we got electricity.


This was before electricity. You just set the pot on the burner. It really would make good, hot coffee.

Look what a little imagination and time can turn nothing into something neat.


These are some of the parts turned into a decorative dust catchers from this type vintage percolators.

Love the first and third one. Never knew they had color to them. My mom have one similar to that second one and still use it if we lose elecrricity..
Have a good week.

These are so neat! I love how you saved your parent's things. I have one from the 1920's that I bought at an antique store - it's knob is green depression glass.

Mrs. Cozy Home said...

Wonderful, I long for a coffee pot that lets me know the coffee is ready by bubbling up into the little glass knob!

Postcardy said...

The first one looks very elegant on the lace.

Anna said...

These are great keepsakes! My grandmother always had coffee perking on the stove after dinner. Fantastic memories. Happy New Year to you and your family!!

Gerry's Soap N Stuff said...

Nice! I love old perculators. Gerry

Tracy said...

I remember the percolator from my Grandma's kitchen...love it! Gosh, so many neat things! I bet you have a ball going through your things!

Ruth Hiebert said...

I know I'm supposed to look at the coffee percolators,but my eyes were drawn to the tablecloth.I love the pineapple pattern.The painted percolator baskets are a neat idea.
Blessings,Ruth

Dearest LV,

Thanks for your visit and comment! No wonder, you agreed with our Christmas philosophy as you and my husband are of the same vintage year! My business and also blog's name is Back to Basics and in many ways we would be far better off to abandon a lot of things that never did bring happiness in the first place. Not all gadgets and things one 'wants' to have do create a better life for all involved.
A good book, a home cooked meal and being content is far better and healthier for spirit and body.
Vintage things have a lot of quality and wisdom!
If the economy goes further down, a lot of younger people will start listening to the old school again...
Wishing you a Happy New Year in good health and I admire you for being on blog and with THAT many followers. Your husband must be smiling down from heaven at you! I KNOW for sure!!!

Love seeing your coffee pots! I still have my faberware percolator from when I got married yrs ago! I remember the other one on my grandparents stove!

Betsy Banks Adams said...

Oh what memories I have of those old coffee pots. My Mom and Dad always had coffee in the mornings --and then Mom always drank ONE cup about 5 p.m. She said that it gave her energy for the rest of the night. Her pot was like the 2nd one you showed--and sat on our stove.

I had one that perked --but mine was electric.... OH --the memories. Love it... Thanks!!!
Hugs,
Betsy

Jocelyn said...

My Mom had one like your second one. She used it a lot. Thanks for sharing these great coffee pots.

George said...

My grandmother had a coffee pot like the first one you showed. I can still remember waking up to the smell of coffee when we visited her. Thanks for the memories.
Happy New Year to you.

Pam said...

I'm not a coffee drinker but I remember the coffee makers my parents had. I think I even had one of those elegant ones years ago. We now have a lovely red coffee maker.

Tete said...

I loved my grandmother's old perculators! I have posted the one they use to use every day. It had a ceramic base with pink flowers, the innerds, as she called them, and then the ceramic top. You could take the innerds out and put the pot and lid together and serve from the table in a pretty little pot then.
I have the innerds in a box and just display the pot and lid.
Maybe it's time to get out the innerds and put it back together like it was, so it can collect dust, too!
I love your first one's shape.
I loved listening to them perk. Not the same with the coffee makers now.

This is a very neat thing to show-the painted ones are fun!

My parents still use a perculator. They say the coffee is much better. Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment. Happy New Year to you!

Sallie (FullTime-Life) said...

This is fun LaVoice! You're very talented. I do remember those old coffee percolators. (As I remember most vintage things, kind of being one myself ;>)....

Happy New Year! And yes, it has been pretty cold in Florida (for Florida), but compared to the rest of the East Coast, we are pretty lucky and have no complaints.

Terry said...

Howdy LV
What a great post !
I think the old perculators are still the best :)
Blessings of joy to you today.
May the coming New Year bring many wonderful moments
into life your daily.
Looking forward to all the great posts you will be sharing in the New Year.
Thank you for all your encouragement this past year.
Big hugs coming your way .
Until next time
Happy Trails

Annie said...

The on-the-stove coffee pots are what my parents had years ago. I wish I could find one—don't think I've ever seen one in an antique or thrift shop. Those coffee pots last forever and can brew coffee now, just as they did then! How many electric ones have I bought over the years? Too many to count!

June said...

I love the old peculator coffee pots and have a glass one that sits on my stove top. If we feel up to a pot of coffee with dinner, the peculator is the one we use.

Sherry@Back2Vintage said...

I love the old Drip-o-lator stovetop coffeepots. I keep one just in case the electricity goes out or we have a hurricane...sure came in handy after Katrina!

viridian said...

oodness, this reminded me of my dear grandma's house.

Thanks for sharing!
Happy VTT.

Denise said...

Boy! I sure remember those old things. They had a dozen parts to clean. I still smell coffee when I see a picture of one boiling up through the glass nob.

Margie said...

These are great! I remember my grandparents using them. I always liked to watch them percolate and see the coffee through the little glass knob at the top! Have a Happy New Year!

Jeanne said...

Thank you for the New Years wish. I love your coffee pot history. AND, I remember those coffee pots. The craft with the coffee filters is very clever.

Wishes to you and yours for a wonderful New Years.
Hugs, Jeanne

All so cute!!

Hugs,

Ann said...

I remember my mom's coffee pot at our lake cabin how it would bubble. I also remember using a metal one when we were first married, then we graduated to the glass pyrex ones. Now it's just so easy!!! Have a great New Years and thanks for all our comments during 2010.
Ann
