...what fun was had walking down the memory lane of my childhood in the late 50's and 60's, standing in my grandmothers kitchen watching her make tunafish in a beloved turquoise and white cinderella bowl. Turns out just like this one. Stacy, your challenge inspired me to actually make a Cinderella bowl freestyle!
And since this pattern (Hot Air Balloon circa 195 was in the midst of Mid Century Modern, I wanted to do a card around the patterns of that era. My Cinderella bowl is a Basic Grey 'Konnichiwa' print. The inside is a textured cream speciality paper. I added two different embossing folders that add to the hippy fun. The large chain pattern is a Spellbinders from Tuesday Morning. And the smaller one under the sentiment is from Cuttlebug.
The quote is from Anne Morrow Lindberg,
"When I cannot write a poem, I bake biscuits and feel just as pleased."
Well, I wasn't in the poetry mood this morning, but I did make up a huge batch of my grandmothers' tuna with Mt Olive Sweet Pickle Relish. Please come for a sandwich and a seat in my garden...it's Saturday, time for leisure!
Thanks for stopping by...
I am editing to add that I found the very chip and dip set that is linked at a favorite second hand store. Think is was under $10. Oh, those were the days...like 20 years ago, grin!

LOVED your story across the miles oRe! What an amazing bowl you created from your wonderful memories. Awesome story to go along with your pretty card. I am amazed at how much pyrex and Corningware that is seen in antiques shops! I'm still using mine!

Love the story behind this card. Your bowl is wonderful, and the other retro elements all work together beautifully. And I can conjure the flavor of the tuna mix you learned from your grandma...and Mount Olive sweet relish is my brand of choice, too! TFS this fun walk down memory lane and the creative card to go with it.
