It is my theory that people collect their memories, and I am certainly living up to it. My mum had a full set of black and yellow plastic Nally Ware cannisters. (She also had the complete spice set...so gorgeous!) I loved them wholeheartedly, as I love yellow and black. Sadly, they are long gone, but not in my elephantine memory. Ofcourse, as a result I collect, (when I can afford it) yellow and black 'stuff.'
This little cheese container is hopefully the first of a complete black and yellow cannister collection. However, it is Gayware, not Nally ware. The yellow is alot brighter and the and font is different. Chalk and cheese. Ha, ha ! If it grows to any great size, I am buggered where I will put it...I have no room...but...I...MUST....COLLECT!!!

Oh yes those Nallyware containers - there was a half complete set in every beach shack you went into back in the day! Good luck with the collecting - who cares where it will go - the fun is in the chase!
ReplyDeleteha! I so know where you are coming from. A blog friend recently sent me my favourite little golden book from when I was a child that made my heart swoon. i have a set of similar style canisters that my Dad picked up for me at an auction. they are salmon/orange coloured and white...not sure what make though. too cool
ReplyDeleteI agree with the sentiment... I too collect 'stuff' from my childhood which was many years ago too many infact. Pop over and have a browse if you have a few moments in the day to spare. Have a happy Sunday

lol, you know.... and i totally agree. we do collect memories, it's too funny. i've learnt to photograph the memories instead of compulsively buying them... it doesn't always work.
ReplyDeleteI agree too, we do collect memories of our childhood.
ReplyDeleteI love finding things and doing the "Remember when"...
Have a great week

Wow, you're the second blog I've visited from Her Library Adventures Flea Mkt. post that has found Nally Ware. Hmm, wonder if it's a sign that I'll find some soon and should pick it up? Love yours; it's very cheery!
ReplyDeleteHi Nick love your Gayware piece. The yellow and black is truly snappy. I know what you mean by "must collect", it makes me sad to think that the abundance of such items back in the day means a lot of these nifty items are now landfill. "Keep Collecting" I say.
