It was not quite 30 degrees here yesterday, but felt closer to 40 with the humidex! We're not complaining as Ethel loves the heat (she's planning to retire to Palm Springs one day).
So with summer time fun in mind, today's weird Wednesday post is about all things barbecue.
If you're planning lots of outdoor dining and don't want to risk the wedding wedgewood on the patio, then you need some vintage melmac.
This miracle material was all the rage in the 50's as the concept of indoor/outdoor living became more popular. Still being made today by companies like Precidio, we love the vintage melmac best, for the variety of shapes, styles and pastel colours. Prices vary, so come by the store to check it out.
UPDATE: Thermos bowls in middle of middle shelf have sold!
If the man in your life is a hardcore griller, then forget the novelty apron and chefs hat, and treat him to one of these vintage Stoyke barbecue themed trays, or the vintage divided ceramic platter.
Small square tray is $25, the large platter is $35 and the ceramic platter is $15.
UPDATE: All three BBQ platters have sold!
If your man is a little too ambitious with the lighter fluid on the charcoal briquettes, you may have to call the fire department!
Or you can just call these two Mr. Sock Monkeys, driving a vintage Fire Chief pedal car. They might not know how to put out the fire, but they'll be the life of the party!
Monkeys are $60 each and the pedal car is $150.
UPDATE: Pedal car has sold!
And if it's still too hot, grab yourself a vintage thermalware bowl and dish up some ice cream.
$15 for the set of 6 thermal ware bowls (seen on the right), and the ice cream is a vintage cardboard cut out.
So stay cool in this heat with some vintage fun!
See you at the store!
