Decals? I usually have to strip paint of the wooden handles off of old stuff do to checking, peeling, cracking, and flaking. I then treat the wood with oil and wax.
I love the yellow, red and blue. I have my kitchen decorated in those colors, I do my best to get my small appliances in those colors, if not those I go for stainless.
Nope! These aren't decals.
They are 1950s painted pieces. I found them in thrift shops and online.Me too! But I don't buy blue small appliances, I get yellow, red, white or stainless.

I have so few blue pieces, it's the color I look for first. I also have dragons and teapots as objects and pictures in the same color scheme. I should group my Tea with Dragon pictures and post a pic of them. Very charming.

Back to my childhood. My mother had so many of those things in her kitchen. Thanks for the memory.

What a pretty collection, Leolady!
I am ashamed to admit that I bought 5 more canisters today, and another wastebasket.
I now have a total of 13 canisters! What am I doing with so many canisters you ask..........?
Well, there will be groupings of canisters near the refrigerator, range, and the sink -- all holding kitchen utensils. And there will be a few small canisters in the windowsill holding potted herbs in plastic liners. I won't use any of them to hold food because they all have some degree of rust.
The hinged lid yellow topped bread box will be used to hold those common tools, screws, and stuff that usually clutter up a drawer or two in the kitchen.
