Vintage Salad Days


We are eating lots of salads these days.  While I did not plant a veggie garden
this year, many of our friends did and they have been kind enough to
share some of their tasty harvest with us.

I'm pulling out a vintage salad cookbook, a vintage salad bowl and a 
sweet vintage salad dressing carafe for some retro tossing.



I love the radishes on this bowl and the rippled glass on the carafe.



Just add some vintage salad forks and we are ready to dive into a
big healthy salad ~ yum!

I am joining ~

and

Bentley had lot's of fun visiting with the refrigerator delivery men yesterday.
But I don't think he understood why they could not stay and play with
him all day.

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

    Love the vintage salad bowl. We usually eat a lot of salad in the summer but not this one. All my lettuce bolted so early because of the hot weather we've had.

    We would all be better off eating more salads. Nothing like fresh veggies out of a garden.

    I LOVE your vintage salad bowl. My Mom used to have some old wooden salad forks that would have been perfect for your setting.

    I have my eyes on those tomatoes!

    FEELING RED

    I am feeling red today—
    Better that than blue, they say.

    Red is such a cheery shade,
    Sweetest color ever made,

    Brightens everything you do—
    Better red, they say, than blue!
