Vintage Candy
That's true Gemme.
About 20 minutes from where I live now, there is an awesome gift shop, called Charlie Brown Farms, that is wall to wall with old retro/vintage memorabilia, and everytime I go there I go nuts. They have almost all the candy from when I was little, and as far back as the 50s and older. My favorites are the Mary Janes, which I haven't seen for sale anywhere else outside of Halloween time. But they have them here, in the cutest packaging, which I saved.

Knott's Berry Farm
I had to make a post on Knott's Berry Farm. I've been a few times this month, and hadn't been since I was a small child. As an adult, I've been able to fully appreciate what a unique gem of a place it is for lovers of rustic, vintage and old-fashioned. I was in heaven there. The other day, when I was there with my brother, we were reading a plaque about Knott's claiming to be the first theme park in America, which I never knew. I'm not pleased with all the big modern crazy roller coasters they are cluttering the park with, but I am so in love with all the adorable quaint shops and historical exhibits, and the Native & western theme, that they have preserved since the 40s I guess. My favorite things are the Victorian signage everywhere, the beautifully crafted items sold by local vendors, the authentic collections of antique items on display, the 1950s & earlier toys in the shops and the ghost town theme that I will miss with the removal of Frontier Land at Disneyland. To me, this is how they stand apart from Disney, which is practically down the street from Knott's. Oh and I love Boysenberry too, especially on Funnel Cake!

Then, they built a big fence around it, charged for admission (though still much cheaper than D-land). I remember when Disneyland was inexpensive enough for all of us to go for the day, too, a couple of times a year and we would buy a book of tickets for rides. (E-ticket anyone?). *Sigh*

Yes, unlike Disneyland, you can still get into Knott's for under $100. But man ... they get you with the $18 parking which still goes onto the grass. One of the perks of growing up in So Cal was always being close to all these fun places.

Recipes!
I love everything wood, and this is very similar to my recipe box given to me by someone very dear to me.

I have some similar to these, I love them. I like cherries in the kitchen, and I found them at an antique store.

It broke my heart when they stopped using real sugar in the Boysenberry preserves. I found out on FakeFoodWatch.com, it is worse than that:
"Killing Cordelia Knott's Homespun Preserves But as of 2013, Knott's superb products are no more. Killed by industrial food mega-corporations, hungry to cheapen and undercut great American products for greater profitability. Big Food corporate fake-food giant Con Agra bought-out Knott's food products and operations in 1995, pledging to foster the high-quality and good reputation of Knott's Berry Farm foods that had pleased generations of Americans. In 2008, though, Con Agra closed Knott's artisan jelly-making plant here in my hometown, and sold Knott's food brands to Ohio-based food giant J.M. Smuckers Co., industrial food corporate owner of Pillsbury, Hungry Jack, Dunkin' Donuts, Jif peanut butter, Crisco shortening, and hundreds of other processed food brands. In early 2013, Smuckers announced that Knott's-labeled preserves, jams, and jellies had been discontinued (except for token offerings at the Buena Park theme park). That all Knott's jams, jellies, preserves and related products would bear the name of Smuckers... a move that seems logical, considering that the high-quality ingredients and artisan-attention Cordelia Knott lavished on her pure, homespun fare had long since been compromised in favor of fake food sweeteners, additives, and processes. Today, the ingredients listed for Smuckers Boysenberry Preserves, after boysenberries, are: High fructose corn syrup Corn syrup Fruit pectin Citric acid Great Aunts Gertrude and Clara would be appalled. At their Sunday supper table, they would never have stooped to serve these inferior tasting, processed-food substitutes for Cordelia Knott's fresh, crisp iconic American creations." http://www.fakefoodwatch.com/2013/04...of-iconic.html Quote:

I hate to hear this, especially now that it seems home preserving is back to being a big trend now. Thank you for sharing Anya! <3

Oh these are sooo cute! I would have grabbed them too. I have always loved the retro cherry motif. Thank you for sharing.

Bruce's Candy Kitchen
This is a wonderful place to get old fashioned, home made candy. It's a local Oregon business that I believe is family owned, for many years. They are very community minded, generous to a fault, and you'll always get the tastiest confections, at Bruce's Candy Kitchen. I love their salt water taffy. So tasty, melt in your mouth flavors. They have two locations on the Oregon coast: Seaside and Cannon Beach.
