A home for my Coca Cola collectables

I am not really a collectibles type of girl. However, I do have a few Coke items that I’m sure the guys on American Pickers wouldn’t mind getting their hands on.

Years ago my grandmother gave me her vintage Coca Cola tray that she got in 1941 working at a Coca Cola bottling factory.

Paired with my wooden crate, it makes our dated kitchen feel a little more playful.

Vintage Equals Old for this House

Our “vintage” windows are a nightmare to operate. You have to retract the screen to open or close the actual window. Very unpleasant with bugs or in the rain. And check out the debris we get when we retract the screens.

I find myself thinking twice when I want to open or close a window now.

We were however, lucky to find some replacement screens in the attic for our original windows. I seriously doubt it is an item we would be able to purchase today considering that these replacements were wrapped in a newspaper dated 1939! Check it out.
