It's interesting how many things we "say" today are from the past, and that we really have no idea when they were first coined :) Thanks for sharing!

Disclaimer: Many of my items are vintage or pre-loved. Please be aware that vintage items will vary with the manufacturing methods available at the time of their production. They are not made at the current standards of manufacturing ... and in my opinion, that is a good thing! They are generally an exceedingly higher quality than today's manufactured items, last much longer and have more attention to detail. However, safety standards do change over time, vintage and pre-loved items do deteriorate with age, and it is up to the customer to decide how they will use each product purchased.
