When I was maybe 8 years old my mother had picked up this really unique lunch box somewhere. It was shaped like an old country wagon and it had pictures of pioneers heading out west. At the time it must have already been about 30 or 40 years old...but I thought it was so cool - I insisted on using it for school. Plus, it came with a matching thermal mug - with a forest green top and I absolutely loved it.Sadly, we don't know what happened to it - maybe I lost it, maybe my mother got rid of it at some point...nonetheless, I'll never forget that vintage styled look.
Today I stumbled across Barn Dandys and the vintage western themed pattern brought all of those memories back.
Ah...my favorite lunch box...the one I got made fun of for using because it wasn't Barbie - but didn't care...yeah that one.
Well Barn Dandys inspired me again.
So I snatched up the western roll mat for trips to the park or even just laying out with Piper somewhere on the ranch.
But, if western is not your style - they have great vintage camping images, hula girls, surf boys, baseball players or even just vintage shabby chic flower prints.
They make lunch boxes, teepee's for children, sleeping bags, old school TV dinner trays, lounge chairs, backpacks, infants clothing/bibs, vintage toys and many other wonderful items.
