Thank you for inviting me to PINK SATURDAY. I have chosen one of my favorite pink vintage toys to share with you. This vintage metal stove and refrigerator were given to me by my BFF Carol Isley. Carol is a flea/antique-aholic for sure. She is a former travel nurse and knows every shop from California to Alabama. These two vintage tin pieces sit in my kitchen sharing to glow from all of the other pink items. One is Frigidaire brand and the other is Coldspot. The Frigidaire reminds me so much of my dad. EVERY refrigerator was a Frigidaire to him. "Get me some buttermilk out of the Frigidaire," Daddy would yell. We had a GE! I have collected a few vintage dishes to accompany my play set. Come over some time and we'll make up a batch of mud pies with acorns on top.

I remember that little pink set. How fun for you.
I had a stove and refrigerator very similar to that when I was a child. Thanks for showing them. So cute!
Yay, you made it!
What an adorable set. Your friend was so sweet to give it to you.
How cute is that little set. I would have loved that as a child! The pink is just perfect!!!
I see you are a retired teacher. I am a kindergarten teacher getting ready to head back to school next month.
take care,

Hi Tricia,
I am a retired teacher too! It's wonderful is it not?

The stove and refrigerator bring back memories for sure!

Fantastic pieces! You certainly must get a lot of enjoyment out of them. :o)
I LOVE all of your pink goodies! The frigidare comment is great, it reminds me of my Aunt Rosa Lee. She called her "icebox" a frigidare. That is too funny. I am so glad that you have a blog! BTW, mom and I nabbed some great estate sale/thrift store finds today. I can't wait to post my before and after pix. (it will take a few days...I painted my chest already, now it needs a gloss finish) You will be so proud. Again...I am BEGGING for a post on the red-necks stealing the life sized santa. That is HILARIOUS.
LOVE YOU!

I enjoyed your blog today. I too would love to have a real pink fridge and stove but what fun to have the play kind! Great story about the justice for teachers!
that just sounds too cool about your dad, it makes me smile! What treasures, I didn't even know real pink appliances existed until Pink Saturday. and i noticed a pink and white carpet. lucky lady.
thanks for posting on my blog.
My mom used to make mud pies in the old woodshed we used to have also so i will come over for some of yours hahha we'll have a good time!!!!
Amazing pink appliances!
In England, where I grew up there were fewer pink toys!
I scrolled down and saw your story about the little girls and slings!
As a former teacher, I got a kick out of it.
Oh my gosh, do you know that I had that very set?!!
Oh how I loved my pink metal frig and stove! I also had the matching sink too.
I wish, oh WISH I still had it. But my parents threw it away. Can you believe it!
Thanks for taking me back... waaay back in time!
Hi Tricia,
It was nice to see your comment on my blog, from one PINK GIRL to another, I adore your blog too!
These little vintage pieces are so sweet, I used to love to play with our neighbors growing up! She was the envy of all the little girls in our area!
XO,

What great toys! I have to say I had a set very similar to this! Ah the creations I would conjure up. Thanks for jogging some fun memories!
I remember play kitchens like this! I had some that were made of wood and played with them a lot as a child. I would have loved these though!

Thank you for stopping by my blog with your condolences. The family seems to have it it through OK so far. My MIL is one strong Portuguese woman, that's for sure.
Many of my friends had these stoves and fridges and we spent many a happy hour playing in the "kitchen".
happy belated pink sat. what a sweet little set! back in the 70's we had a pink stove,we didn't have the money & buy a new one so we found a used pink stove & cooked on it for years, sometimes I wished I still had it it LOL
