Our Beloved Wedgewood...

Center of our kitchen, workhorse for over 30 years - let me show you our vintage Wedgewood stove.

And the best part is that this beauty was salvaged from a co-worker's kitchen remodel in the 1970's - incredibly, it was being discarded for an electric stove, which back in the day, was considered an upgrade.
Life would not be the same without our beloved Wedgewood!

  2. Hi Lynn:
    So happy you asked!
    Way before the internet, I spent lots of time at flea markets and garage sales - that's where I found these aluminum bunny cake pans. I attached magnets to the inside of the pans so they could be displayed on the back of the Wedgewood (which is actually a hinged metal shelf that is original to the stove and in its "down position").
    I mentioned the internet because these sweet little bunnies (that I once considered a great "vintage find"), can now be found listed for sale on eBay quite frequently.

  6. I love your stove! Must only be available in the USA as I have never heard of it before.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and reading about Richard Burton - what a facinating guy! I have decided to keep the etching as a reminder to sieze the day - he certainly did!
    Warm wishes
