I've been doing alot of shopping on Etsy lately--mostly home decor and I came across this tile artwork that I HAD to have---a very fond childhood memory. It shoud be here this weekend. Isn't this a hoot?? This was my very fave TV dinner when I was a kid. And even more ---my last was Swanson!!! My mom would buy us TV dinners on the rare nights they went out for the evening. She cooked them up and put them on--yep--you guessed it--TV trays and served us in front of the TV!!! This is the salisbury steak dinner.😆 Not sure what my brothers had, but there is a chicken leg dinner too. It's just one tile about 6 " long, all hand made--will frame it and hang it in my kitchen. Can't wait to get it!!! Still love salisbury steak dinner!!!

That's not a distant memory; that was dinner last night. I eat a ton of those things....Healthy Choice. They are a far cry from the original, however.

@wagirl

Definitely a favorite!

But my absolute favorite was...

... the Italian dinner. Each item in that one came out of the oven scalding hot and it was a challenge to avoid serious injury.

Oh, that tortoni!

@just bee ---WOW---I have never seen those "fancy" type of TV dinners--ever!!! Not now--do they still make those?--or ever when I was growing up. Not sure my kid palet would have approved-- or maybe those weren't available in my little po-dunk town in the early 60's!! Don't remember my mom fixing those type of foods when I was a kid--not even spaghetti? OH wait--I do remember her getting canned chow mein and those awful dried, crispy noodles--was not a fan.

@wagirl

I think the International Dinners debuted in 1968. State of the art!

Never heard of the international versions. Like @just bee , the Italian would have been my favorite.

I did get this tile yesterday and OMG--it is so freaking adorable---but it's only 1 tile----a 3+" x 5+" piece----small but mighty--now what will I do with it----maybe frame it somehow? But the details are pretty amazing.

@wagirl

I just Googled framed tiles and tile inside a shadow box frame. You might want to take it to one of those places that will frame it for you.
