I can't get enough of baby anything right now. Visions of vintage baby goods are dancing through my head. It started with Flea Market Baby.Actually it didn't. It likely started waaaay back when I couldn't resist pieces like this:
There is just something so wonderful about old baby things. So when I happened across The Baby Gardner I was drooling unapologetically. The blog is even more delightful complete with vintage patterns and more.
My Retro Baby is a must see too. The room decor in particular.
Lots of inspiration at Baby Goes Vintage. These are new items but they are great for ideas for showcasing flea market finds.
Dolly Dilettante is a delightful vintage style baby blog, as is Ophelia Payne.
We have a small collection of vintage baby items. Some are my own vintage lol. My aunt made these hip dresses in the 60's for your's truly.
A strong streak of sentiment prompted me to scour the net for vintage embroidery patterns which have kept my hands occupied as we wait, and breathe, and contract, and wonder which of these times is going to be the real deal. Heaven only knows and guessing makes a person jumpy so I just keep stitching! Here is a bib made for a baby shower I missed last week. I love vintage scotties patterns. Real live ones - not so much. ; ) I finished a little lamb but need to give it a backing yet. There is another scotty in the works for our baby. Will post as we go.
what is that in the dish? it looks like a cork, but i can't figure out why a cork would be there?!

I think there is space between the inside bottom of the dish and the outside bottom of the dish. You remove the cork, fill the space with hot/warm water, replace the cork. The warm water keeps the food warm as baby eats at a leisurely pace.

Oh, yeah, this is right up my alley! I'm so glad you posted this. I'm saving all of the links for grandbaby shopping! My kids will like having them, too.
Look at those cute, cute dresses! Fun.
Susan :-)

I had a similar dish when I was a baby! Wow. I am so vintage. I like that better than "I am so old" don't you? Sounds chic. Love the Scottie bib with the red gingham backing!
Is that baby out yet?? Prayers for a safe delivery! I know! Commit to coming to my tea party on Sunday. Sure-fire way to have that baby by then.
