I now have my late Grandma's steel and carving knife, also I have her old metal jelly moulds  :D these are very small individual ones, so as children we used to eat the jelly straight from the mould, metal spoon and metal mould, my mum used to cringe at the noise  :)

Mum and Dad's dinner service, which we kids clubbed together to buy for their Silver Wedding anniversary, always comes out on special occasions. Unfortunately a serving dish has lost it's lid and I can't find a replacement.  :(

It is a very 1950's/1960's style In yellow and grey sylized flowers, red rose hips and black thorns.

a turn table, 8-track player, cassette deck and VCR

I do have my great grand dad's pocket watch (and presentation papers that accompanied it) but that's not in use.  ;D

Did you know that you can still buy those things? I think they are made in India, but can be bought in the Philippines. Also many people in the P.I. still use an iron that is filled with charcoal.

No luck on the English site or the other one, unless my un-named pattern is one of the ones without an image - just my luck!  :-\
