Vintage Fever is a big thing, certainly in the area where we live.  Furniture and ephemera from the fifties and sixties is in big demand with kitchen ware that I remember from my youth fetching high prices.  When I first set up home, a  spice rack was on everybody’s wedding list.  These 1970s spice racks were mostly made of pine, with space for six matching containers, usually prefilled and labelled.  The first example that I ever owned was a wall spice rack and the great thing about this was that it had room for twelve individual bottles.  The word was rather a misnomer at the time, since most people’s taste buds did not tolerate spicy food and the kitchen spice racks sold in the shops were generally filled with herbs such as parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme to coin a phrase from a famous song!  Even oregano was considered rather outre.  Now, of course, most of us reach for coriander or cumin without a second thought.
