Recently I have been getting requests from my blog friends and followers to post up some of my recent “finds” so that is exactly what I am doing here. I came across these original pink 1930s – 1940s Black Americana Twin Mammy salt & pepper shakers, this 1940s era Aunt Jemima Tea towel and this 1940s era Mammy With a Pie Tablecloth and am truly loving them! It is rare to find true vintage items in the condition these are in so that tells me that someone has taken extra special care of them over the years. Items this rare are usually from private collections as I have never found one in a thrift store or at a yard sale or very seldom at an antique mall. My personal collection of Black Americana is really growing and my husband is starting to wonder how much more of the house will these treasures be taking over. I may be forced to part with some due to lack of space. Any how, I just wanted to take a moment and share my latest treasures with you. For those that are interested, I do list items for sale occasionally on this website and you can always visit my Etsy and eBay stores too for something truly authentic, original, and unique!
