5 out of 5 starsI am so happy with my spoons they match perfectly and I wish I had ordered some dinner forks also. They were delivered very quickly and packaged very nice. Thanks so much.

This chrome Sunbeam toaster really shines! And after decades of use, it still toasts beautifully!

I love how vintage goods are not only nice quality, but eco-friendly. Here's my preferred way to transport packages.

Our adorable vintage kitchen, with authentic vintage wallpaper. Who needs modern things when vintage is so wonderful?
Laura's Last Ditch: Like Grandma's kitchen, only bigger!
Grandmother had the best kitchenwares. But I don't simply criticize today's junk. Instead, I hunt practical, quality vintage kitchen utensils, small appliances, and cookware few others offer. Some of my vintage kitchenwares look pretty; others are homely little things, yet I squeeze more into my shop so you can find something just like Mom's or Grandma's—something made to last.
How did Laura's Last Ditch get its funny name? I hunt for vintage kitchenwares people cannot find, then delight them by locating them—sometimes in the oddest of places. Let me help you in your last ditch effort to find something special. Now let's raid some kitchen cupboards!
