3 May 1957 “Fun Kitchen, 1950 Alice in Wonderland live action Movie, and Rss Feeds”

First, let’s start the day with this lively little ad. I like the checklist, very specific to these darling cabinets. I can say NONE of the checklist items are in my kitchen, sadly.
I also, as many of you know, love quaint and quirky look of the Early American mid-century design. Here we see happy function and practicality in metal cabinets and linoleum flooring living in serenity with old wood walls, colonial benches, brick walls and cross-hatch leaded paned windows.

As part of today’s News (below and every day below on this page) I linked to a wonderful 1985 version of Alice in Wonderland. It is in its entirety on my ApronTV channel. You can get to it through that article or through the aprontv button to your right with the facebook buttons and such.
This 1950 version of Alice is a wonderful production and you can watch that in its entirety on APRONTV if you like. I also put the dvd in the STORE, I think there might be copies as low as .99 cents. There is an advertisement at the beginning of it, sorry about that isn’t mine, put there by who uploaded it, but it is still a free movie to watch, so that is quite nice I think. Enjoy:

I am rather excited about my new approach to my blog. Though I may not post a blog everyday, I shall update the news. And so for that I have created (with the help of Hubby) a separate RSS feed for the Daily Vintage News. You can see it down there near the heading for the news. This way you can subscribe to that as well as the blog. Then on days I don’t post here, I will surely have posted a daily update of Vintage inspired news.
If you don’t know what an RSS feed is, it stands for Really Simple Syndication. It is simply away to know, through an RSS reader, what blogs/sites you like have updated for that day. Believe you me, I knew none of this and still don’t use a reader, but my hubby does as does most of the world. If you don’t have a reader, Google reader is an example of one and you simply sign up with your Google email. I think whenever you lick the little orange RSS button it lets you follow that sites updates. SO, if you would like to do so now for the site, that is on the right hand side at the top. Below under Today’s News and Interest is another little orange button, that allows you to follow the news updates.  I hope this isn’t confusing.
It is rather interesting to me how this time travel experiment has not only taught me so much about our history and the past and therefore our present, but much about technology. Having to try and garner skills to better share with all of you what I find, I have had to learn more modern technology. My day, then, is often an odd dichotomy of Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and much online research. Then the remainder of my day is littered with old fashioned tasks of scrubbing my kitchen floor with an old mop and bucket. Maybe I have the old 50’s Kirby out, loudly sweeping the carpets. I might be out digging in the garden in my old wool gardening skirt and head scarf and wellies. My bedside table might hold such books as “Please Don’t eat the Daisies” or other vintage fiction or history books. I might be standing in the yard surrounded by chickens, digging them worms and gathering eggs. I seem to have found a happy settling between modernity and the past.
I am happy to not, on most days, have to get into a car, need to use a cell phone, watch TV, listen to modern ads or see modern magazines and such. This seems to be a growing settling of place.
I hope those of you who read me will still be happy to follow along as I find my equilibrium with it all. I shall return to more posts about cooking/cleaning and my life in the vintage parts of my day. I feel now that my daily news can cover many things I had hoped to incorporate into blogs, but now it shall be more fun and attainable to share more in a reasonable amount of time.
Thank you to all who are still sticking around with me after two and  half years and welcome any newcomers!
Happy Homemaking.
