Remember, there's an exclusive snippet of a work in progress right below this post. It's from Forecast-book two in my Norse YA trilogy.

But I had to share my unexpected side project!

My husband's brother and stepfather cleaned out the grandfather's old storage and they found this vintage 40s or 50s model Frigidaire. They asked if we wanted it and when they dropped it off, it was filthy. Several hours of cleaning later, it's a gem. How cute is this??

It's in fantastic shape. And um, we were supposed to let it sit some time before plugging it in so I don't know if it works. I used that time to clean.   (Update: plugged it in and everything fired up, including light–so we'll see if it gets cold.)

I have all the inside stuff pulled out and drying. Metal racks–the glass shelves are fantastic–still intact except for one tiny chip in a corner.  The freezer area is tiny. See the drop down metal area? And there's a huge pull out "hydrator".

And check out this heavy, glass monster. Seriously, this took forever to clean because it had layers of grime and all those grooves. It has the emblem.

Here's the outside emblem. I'm researching to find the year of this refrigerator, so if anyone can tell from the emblem, let me know. It's an early one.

BTW, it got cold! Very cold! This little guy is great!
