I didn't know there was an actual Holly Hobbie. I thought it was an expression!

I had Hollie Hobby stuff when I was a kid many moons ago! Your recipe box was quite a find for 50 cents! I love how you painted it red, too!
Awwww that is just too cute!
I have never heard of that but it sure is cute!
Very cute, now how about that pecan pie. Are we gonna see a picture of it? you could surprize your hubby with it for Valentines day.
Great redo! I remember Hollie Hobby also when I was young. I loved it to...gosh I haven't seen this pattern in a long time.
My mom made me a Holly Hobby doll and me a dress. I loved it!! I also had the HH lunch box and thermos. I wish I still had it!
Hi Carrie - so glad you found me and thanks so much for stopping by. I was a Holly Hobby fan to so therefore I loooove your recipe box - and it is in my favorite color no less. Have a great evening! Cathy
I loved Hollie Hobby when I was a child too. Great find on your recipe box!
Oh, I remember Holly Hobby - I loved her too when I was a little girl. So cute! :)
I love Holly Hobbie! I still have the mini Holly Hobbie on my bed. My big one is in the top of the closet...she was starting to fall apart. I had the lunch box and a couple of little vases. I wonder if my Mom still has them in her attic?! And your red recipe box would fit so well in my red kitchen!
Hello Carrie; What a great find for you. Love the red. My oldest daughter loved Holly Hobbie, she had a dress and roller skates. My goodness I feel very old now.. lol

I loved Holly Hobbie too! I love your new recipe box and love that you painted it my favorite color, red!!!
I remember Holly Hobbie. I was more of a Strawberry Shortcake girl myself. I still have my SS lunch box from elementary school. Love it!
I love your new recipe box. Tres chic!
Wow! What a great find! And what a deal on it too!
Oh, I love Holly Hobbie! When I was little, my sister and I would argue over which one of us got to use the Holly Hobbie bed sheets! I love how you painted the little recipe box, and how perfectly fitting for you! (Since you love cooking and have a cooking blog! :) Speaking of which, I am going to pop on by your other blog now to see what's cooking! ;) Have a good night!
I was a Holly Hobbie girl TOO! I still love Holly Hobbie!!!!
I love what you did to the recipe box. The red paint is great. I received the Vera Bradley catalog yesterday. It is loaded with so many cute things. I love your Valentine garland. I think you should keep up your lights. I have lights on a beam in my house. I wrapped fake greenery around the beam and them the lights. I keep them up all year. Great night lights. Except for when that one little light goes out, not so much fun!

I remember my Holly Hobbie phase, I think there was a birthday cake on year. I still have my doll. The box is so cute and I really love it with the red paint.
Have a great weekend!
What a great find. My mom collects Holly Hobby and I'm always looking for her. Good for you and I like the red paint. Nice and fresh.
Well you KNOW I'm all jealous about that box!! LOL LOL

Found your blog when I was looking for pictures of Hollie hobbie.I loooved her too.I even dressed like one when we had a party .Wish I had pictures but it was back in the late 70's I guess and we didn't have a good camera.I still have the doll or actually my DD has .
What a sweet receipe box! I had the tin lunch box as well with the cute little thermos. Also I has the purple Holly Hobbie bedspread and of course I can't leave out the precious Holly Hobbie Easy Bake Oven. What awsome memories!
I used to draw Holly Hobbie characters, I loved them so much. At the time, I had no idea Holly Hobbie was also the name of the illustrator. Thanks for posting the image. Brings back great memories.
