A Fine Find was the Frigidaire Flair for FREE!

I wanted a Frigidaire Flair stove for the kitchen in my office.  The kitchen is quite small and narrow – I mean the house was built in 1875 – when kitchen size was not a priority. I am guessing that builders did not have the anything as mundane as a kitchen as a major feature in the construction of a home.

Anyway, I digress.  ( I almost always digress. I am a grand digress-tress – I guess…)

This was on Craigslist for $200 and I was the first to call.  Then they sort of flaked out and finally just called me to come and pick it up TODAY – as they were moving out.  “Come and get it off the porch for FREE.”

OKEY DOKEY!

If General Motors still made stoves like this – we would not have to give them a gazillion in tax dollars to bail them out.

I think a pink kitchen suits a mid-century stove.

Look at how little depth this stove take up.

Want a cup ‘o tea in the afternoon?  Just pull out the stove top and it is tea time in no time at all…

After putting a 21 pound turkey in and out of my home oven yesterday – the arm-level oven height of this vintage design just seems like common sense.

Does common sense say to give a big corporation a bail-out when they cannot run their business in a cost effective manner?

Hmmmmmm…..
