This past Monday I helped my grandma move, and was happy to come home with a couple of large treasures! This was Nana's Hi-Fi when she was a teenager! She got it when she turned 18, and loved listening to all her favorite tunes! Isn't it lovely!!
I am not sure on the exact year, but around the late 40's to 50's, and it still works! All I need to get is a new needle, and I am set to listen to some good music! Nana was also very kind to give me her 45s and records! I will have to take a photo of those later! There are some fun ones!
The other treasure was this black and white RCA Victor Television. It is a New Vista model, and I am thinking it is from the late 50's to 60's. I just love the design in the wood, and the memories of it growing up!
It had been sitting in a garage for quite sometime, and unfortunately doesn't work, but my husband wants to get it working again! So we'll see! How fun would it be to watch I Love Lucy or Double Indemnity on this sweet television! Oh, I would love it!!
No, these aren't Nana's shoes, but she does want to get a pair! Thought I would show you my new pair of apple green TOMS! Aren't they such a great color! I have been waiting for this color to come out, and it finally did! I am ready for summer!! Hope you are having a beautiful day!!
How neat!! What very sweet treasures!! The Hi Fi is really cool and nice that it works still, how exciting! :) (Love that teal tin tray on top of it!!!) Fun color of TOMS shoes! My cousin can't get enough of those too, she wears hers everywhere! :) Enjoy your newest collecion! xo Holly
ReplyDeleteThank you Holly!! That is one of my favorite trays!! ;) TOMS are the best little shoes, and super comfy!! Hope you have a beautiful weekend in the sun!! xo Heather
DeleteWhat fun treasures from your nana!! I have some furniture from my nana and I love having it!! Your Toms are the best!! They have such great colors now.

Thank you Molly! Aren't they such a great green!! The ballet flats are really cute, too!! Have a beautiful weekend! xo Heather
DeleteSo cool to have your g-ma's stereo. I have a 45 of my dad and his brother singing when he was about 15. Amazing. Love your shoes. I wonder if our store carries them. hmmmmm
ReplyDeleteThank you Carla! Oh, what a fun 45 to have!! Love it! They might ;), and I buy them online. Such great little shoes! Have a lovely weekend! xo Heather
DeleteI want some navy stripy Toms...so does my granddaughter Madi. =D Cute shoes! I'm glad you love your Grandma's things. I have the little table that Grandma Zetta's TV used to sit on. I use it for an occasional table in my bedroom and put a Christmas tree on it in Dec. I love it when young'uns appreciate their Grandmas! =D
ReplyDeleteOoh, those ones are cute!! How sweet!! Grandma Zetta's table sounds beautiful, and I am one to appreciate such treasures, especially from my grandma!! xo Heather
DeleteHeather, your nana has some wonderful treasures and what a wonderful treasure you have that you still have your nana! Sadly both my grandmas are gone. Twyla
ReplyDeleteThank you Twyla! I am blessed to still have her! So sorry about both your grandma's being gone. I am sure they were amazing ladies!! xo Heather
DeleteHi Heather ~~~ How fun to receive your Nana's treasures. I have an old locket and a watch from my Grandmother. Makes one feel special in a certain way.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless You,

Thank you Michele! Your grandmother's locket and watch sound beautiful, and precious treasures! Have a blessed day! xo Heather
DeleteIndependent of being family heirlooms, the records and Hi Fi are super cool! The TV set as we called them is 'Early American', what a stitch! You're right if DH can fix it and you can watch it that would be a blast!
ReplyDeleteTammy
Thanks Tammy!! They are pretty cool!! I hope he can!! Would be so fun!! xo Heather
DeleteThose items are in great condition! I want some lacy TOMS. I want my feet to stay cooool. :D Your feet look pretty comfy in those vivid green TOMS!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Renae!! The lacy TOMS are very cute!! They are so comfy!!! xo Heather
DeleteIt is always such a blessing to get something from 'Grandma' and those are real treasures. TV's back then were really pieces of nice furniture...if one could afford it of course.
ReplyDeleteLove your new Toms, they sure look comfy. xo
I agree, it is a blessing indeed!! They were nice pieces of furniture, so sad things are made with quality today!! Thanks, they are super comfy, especially working in my craft room!! We don't wear shoes in the house, so I have been able to wear them around, and might have to get another pair for the indoors!! ;) xo Heather
DeleteOh I LOVED all that colonial style furniture!! Still do. That would be a really fun tv for a den. I love your green Toms!
ReplyDeleteYes, it would!! Thanks, they are such fun shoes!! xo Heather
DeleteOh Heather want get treasures you got from you nana. What sweet memories to go along with them.
ReplyDeleteHugs
donna
Thanks Donna!! It is a blessing to have them!! xo Heather
DeleteLove the TV - the kind I grew up with where you have to walk over "blow out" the light in the center when it's bedtime!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Ha!! Love it! ;) xo Heather
DeleteLove your "new" furniture!!! Your Nana took excellent care of them. The shoes are super cute!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! She did take care of them, which I am so thankful for!! ;) xo Heather
DeleteLove the new Toms! Cute color! Love the hi-fi! Too cute - all your treasures!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! They are super comfy!! Have a great weekend! xo Heather
DeleteOh Heather your Nan had wonder taste does the record player have a radio to? if it does they were called Radiograms and were very popular in there time they were a work of art and the sound quality amazing. I adore the TV to hope you are able to get it working. Have a lovely weekend, dee x
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Dee! It doesn't have a radio, just the record and 45s. That would be fun, if it did!! I hope we can get it working, too!! Have a wonderful weekend, too! xo Heather
DeleteWhat fabulous treasures from your Nana. I'm sure she is thrilled that you appreciate them and will take good care of them. I'm having feet envy (my ongoing recovery has me jealous of your cute green shoes).
ReplyDeleteOoh, well maybe when your feet heal, you can get yourself a paper! They are like slippers!! ;) xo Heather
DeleteWhat lovely things to treasure, and what delightful shoes too xx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! Have a lovely weekend!! xo Heather
DeleteI had forgotten when TV's were part of the furniture! I would sit in front of a TV just like that and watch Saturday morning cartoons, or Sunday night watching Ed Sullivan with a big bowl of popcorn for dinner.
ReplyDeleteEverybody sing now....Memories...
I know, crazy! Oh, what fun memories!! Thanks for sharing, I love hearing them!! ;) xo Heather
DeleteThe TV and Hi FI are really neat. The fact they they were your Nana's makes them even more special. I just picked up a fifties style hutch for my kitchen. Love that era! Cute , cute shoes! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThey are so neat to have! Oh, my that hutch sounds divine!! Can't wait to see it!! I love that era, too! I always think I was born in the wrong era! ;) Have a great weekend, too! xo Heather
DeleteWhat wonderful treasures from your nana you got!!
ReplyDeleteI like your shoes too. :)

Thank you Isobel!! It is so wonderful to have them! They are so comfy!! xo Heather
DeleteI love both treasures! that would be fun to get the t.v. working. I just bought my first pair of TOMS and LOVE them!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! Aren't they the greatest!! I could have them in every color!! ;) xo Heather
DeleteWhat amazing treasures from your nana! So special to be able to have them and enjoy the memories.

DeleteSo super cute...would you pop in a tv dinner and we can watch a show or two on the rug. This looks like my kind of haul. I am all over those apple green toms...Might need a pair to match....smiles...Renee
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, the tv dinner is steaming hot, and ready for you with a cool Dr. P or Coke in a glass bottle, your choice! ;) You definitely need to get a pair!! You will love wearing them, and they are the best to wear when sewing or working in your studio!! xo Heather
DeleteAhhh!! Everything is just so much fun! And the memories!! So cool! You are super lucky to have inherited these treasures! : )

The Joyful Thrifter
Thanks for coming by and becoming a follower!! Yay, for new friends!! Hope you are having a lovely weekend!! xo Heather
DeleteHello, sweet Heather!
ReplyDeleteIt's so great to be back home after a trip to the beach...and, also, helping my Mother move. It looks like you and I have both been busily helping out those we love. What delightful treasures you have been able to bring home from your Grandma's! Now, you have a special place to display your lovely blue vase!
I love your Toms...They remind me of the green espadrilles that I wore in the 80's!
I hope you have a delightful weekend, my darling friend!
Blessings,
Carolynn xoxo
Hi Carolynn! Looks like we were both busy!! Thank you , they are such special treasures to have in my home!! Yes, it looks great on top of the tv! Thanks, those green espadrilles sound cute!! Have a lovely weekend sweet friend! xo Heather
DeleteWhat a wonderful piece of vintage furniture and you have a story behind the item too - priceless.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend,
Nina x
Thank you Nina!! Hope your weekend was fabulous! xo Heather
DeleteHow wonderful that you are giving your Nana's treasures a new home. Most folks wouldn't care to have such items from the past. It really bothers me in this day and age that everyone thinks new is better. The mass produced items certainly aren't made with the care and attention of years gone by. Love those Toms. Unfortunately over here, they cost and arm and a leg to buy. Have a wonderful weekend. Tammy
ReplyDeleteThanks!! That is what I always think about when I go to estate sales, but at least I can love them again! ;) Thanks, they are fun shoes!! So sorry, they are so expensive there!! Hope you have a wonderful week!! xo Heather
DeleteA Hi-Fi!! That is so cool Heather.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be singing and dancing around the house!
Thanks!! I look forward to much singin' and dancin'!! ;) xo Heather
DeleteHeather, these are the best treasures of all, aren't they? Ones that belonged to someone you love. Enjoy them!! XO
ReplyDeleteHi Helena!! Yes, they are!! Thank you, I will!! Have a lovely week! xo Heather
DeleteSweet Heather, It was so kind of you to help your grandma move. How wonderful she gave you such beautiful treasures! I am so glad the record player still works and that she gave you the records too. You will have so much fun listening to them! I am happy for you sweetie. I love how you decorated it too, and the old television. I hope you and hubby can get it working. Your green shoes are so cute and cheerful! They look fabulous with your jeans! I hope you have a happy weekend dearest! xo~Paula
ReplyDeleteHi Paula! She did give me such beautiful treasures!! So sweet of her!! She even saw this blog post and was so happy to see them being loved again! Thank you, they are such fun and pretty shoes!! Have a lovely week!! xo Heather
Deletesuch lovely treasures from nana :) I love visiting my nana too, she has given me some great vintage bits!! :) Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteJessie, xo
Thank you Jessie! Oh, how sweet!! They are the best vintage treasures to have!! Have a lovely week!! xo Heather
DeleteI LOVE TOMS!!! they are fabulously green -- the best part is that someone that soooooo needed a pair of shoes is now walking in them because of your purchase -- awesome right! looking good!!! ; ) wonderful nana treasur! hugs...
ReplyDeleteThey are great shoes, for a great cause!! Thanks Andrea!! xo Heather
DeleteLove your Toms in such a pretty green! I got mine in boring beige, what was I thinking? Have a great day, Jean
ReplyDeleteThank you Jean!! Well, I have them in other colors, that are not as cheerful as these!! Beige does go with much more! ;) xo Heather
DeleteOh my dear friend, good morning!
ReplyDeleteI came to thank the sweet words of support on my blog ... Thanks! You are very dear! A beautiful and blessed week for you too.
A big hug.
Luciana
PS:this TV is awesome! Reminds me of the times my grandmother loved it!
Thank you Luciana!! You're so sweet!! xo Heather
DeleteYour grandmother endowed you with many lovely vintage gifts! I can just imagine how sweet the vintage tunes will sound once you get the needle replaced. And what can beat a good pair of Toms? The apple green is such a fun color!
ReplyDeleteYes, she was so sweet and generous! I know, I am looking forward to getting fixed. Thanks, they are so fun!! xo Heather
DeleteOh the memories that these pictures bring! My mom and dad have a big old tv console stereo stored out in their garage. They bought back in the 60's! When I was a little girl I spent hours playing old 45's that were handed down to me! You sure have a sweet Nana! Love your shoes, too. So very cute.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Susie
Oh, I just love to hear the sweet memories! Sounds like a great tv your parents have!! I look forward to hearing Nana's 45s!! Have a lovely and blessed day! xo Heather
DeleteHeather, I took another peek at your tv, before I left your blog. And it is such a pretty tv, and I thought it was so cute, because I see your reflection in the tube!
ReplyDeleteCute picture.
Susie
Oh, thanks!! It was hard not to get myself in it! But, it's fun and a pretty piece of furniture!! xo Heather
Deleteoh my so awesome you have these pieces! I can see a quilt shelf inside that tv if you can't get it working!
ReplyDeleteLove the HIFI!
Your shoes are a great colour!
You have done such a great job of your quilt..wish I could help you with the puffy business...but I thin any quirkyness adds character!
Those butterfly quilt blocks are fabulous..so nostalgic!....
My mom made quilt blocks and my sister framed them..I will have to go take pics and send them to you!
Have a great week!
That would be a great idea if we can't get it to work! Thanks, they are such a cheery color. My quilt is full of character!! ;) Yes, please send me some pictures of your Mom's quit blocks, would love to see them!! What a great idea!! Have a wonderful week!! xo Heather
Deleteso glad you stopped by because now I have your lovely blog to admire! I love this post! We recently (last year) inherited my great grandmothers things too and love that someone else has given sweet family heirlooms a new home in their own! New follower and here is the link to when we got to bring some awesome goods home http://www.take-the-cannoli.net/2011/09/mondays-made-simple.html
ReplyDeleteHi Natalie!! Thanks you so much for coming by, and becoming a follower! Thank you, you're so sweet! I am heading over to check out your great grandmothers treasures!! So fun!! Have a lovely night! xo Heather
DeleteGreat treasures! Hubby and I were just saying the other day that a lot of 'kids' don't even know what a 45 is! (say 45, they think gun!)
