A few posts ago I shared with you my grandmother's gift of her 1946 Hamilton Beach mixer. (That I covet) Well there's a funny little metal ring on top of the mixer that my Grandma said "Was for a juicer part, It was made of glass and matched the bowls. Your great grandmother used it but when she 'went' it disappeared." So since then I have been searching ebay with out much luck to find a replacement. Seems like everyone has the mixer or the beaters but no bowls or juicers.

Flash forward to today, I'm working on spanish and wondering what i'm going to post about. Well my family has this trailer house from 1957 that i'm sure was beautiful back in the day, but over the years its just fallen apart to the point its not live able or savable.
I will confess I havent helped this place out any... I have pillaged light fixtures and cabinet pulls....
I pull it over to me and as I lift it out of the box and I see its funny shape it hits me like a TON of bricks "OH MY GOD THAT'S THE JUICER!~" also in the box? THE ACTUAL JUICER ATTACHMENT and FUNNEL!
-Mick-
how cool!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is so fantastically awesome! Having and using a mixer like that is swell itself, but having the attachments is definitely the icing on the cake ;)
ReplyDeleteI see fresh-squeezed orange juice and lemonade in your future... hehehe
Whoohoo! Now if only I can find a juicer to match my pink Sunbeam ha ha.
ReplyDeleteWhat a find! Fresh OJ please! What about those fabulous wall sconces that are in the trailer? They look pretty great to me! Pull those babies outta there Mick.
ReplyDeleteDon't you love it when your treasures have a great story behind them? That's so neat!
ReplyDeleteI love those light fixtures, you need to pillage those babies as well.
i think you oughtta re-furbish the trailer just for fun...!
ReplyDeletePixie, I would but theres just nothing left to start from. at one point this was going to be the "Atomic Wing" of the Casablanca and then I fell though the floor :P
ReplyDeleteOh that makes it even more awesome then before! So glad you found the attachment. Now go back for that waffle maker!
ReplyDeleteWow, great story! Thanks for stopping by my blog! x
ReplyDeleteThe Retro Gods are definitely on your side! You must be a very good boy!
ReplyDeleteI love the treasure trailer, too bad you fell through the floor!
The trailer is like a giant time capsule! OMG If you don't refinish it, strip every dang thing you can outta that place...I would have already!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I am cheering for you! That is too fabulous for words!
ReplyDeleteI love it when a plan comes together!
ReplyDeleteAmazing. Just think of how long that was sitting there waiting for you to find!
ReplyDeleteBut the trailer. Ouch, huh?
Oooh, how about you hold a contest for all your blog readers to come together and give it a makeover one day?
Or, rather than a contest, maybe a makeover party.
I do love a party.
THEN you could add the trailer as a guest er.. cabin? at the Cassablanca Hotel and Resort. (For a fee, of course.)
Don't give him ideas - the big celebration at the Casablanca this summer may turn into the newest Extreme Home Makeover...
ReplyDeleteHmmmm List of Party games: dancing, various entertainment, eating, sack race, referbishing a 1957 50 foot trailer, movies on the drive-In.... Oh what fun haha : P
ReplyDeleteOh, I want that! You know I have my little trailer in the backyard, it's my private retreat. Could it be fixed up?
