Friday Show & Tell

Show and Tell
Below are some photos of some crockery pieces and a set of canisters that I just love. Right now they are on a bookshelf in the dining area. We're still getting settled in to our new home, and things are a bit "out of order" yet.

The canisters on the top shelf were made for my husband and me for our first Christmas together. A friend made them and sent them to us from Florida. When we opened the box, one of the lids was nowhere to be found. When our friend heard the sad news, she made us another lid, but the little sunflower decal on the top is just a bit diffrent from the others. I like it that way, makes things more interesting! Also, if you notice, one of the sunflowers on the front of the canisters looks different; if you turn the canister around they match up. My photography skills need some work! But, this is honestly how things look around here most of the time. The lid on the far right one is crooked because its stuffed full of dried herbs, also awaiting a permanent home.

The photo isn't great, but there is a bowl and a covered casserole dish on the bottom shelf. I have another small bowl and a bean pot that have yet to be unpacked. These came from Grandma Love's kitchen.


These salt & pepper shakers belonged to my husband's Grandmother. Grandma Love was quite the cook in her day, and I imagine these got lots of use.....especially the pepper shaker from what I've been told!




These rather dusty crocks (oops) were snatched up at the Salvation Army store for $1.50! I need to find seals for the 2 smaller ones and then plan to put seeds or dried herbs in them.

Hope you enjoyed my little Show & Tell. Do stop by Kelli's House for more Friday Show & Tell posts.

Show & Tell Friday

Show and Tell

I'm a little late getting my show & tell posted, but here it is...better late than never!







This green glass juicer came from my husband's grandmother.

Grandma Love's homeplace was filled with treasures such as this, and she was always so very generous to me and gave me anything that I admired! I loved this juicer at first glance, and she gave me not only this one, but a clear one as well!

She was indeed a kindred spirit, and is dearly missed. I think of her generous nature every time I see or use the juicer.

Thanks for visiting my Friday Show & Tell.

Show & Tell

Show and Tell

Here is my very first Show & Tell photo:


This is my favorite teapot, one that my husband bought me for my birthday a few months before we were married. I love it not only because it is beautiful, and is decorated with some of my favorite blossoms- poppies and daisies. I love it most of all because he picked it out just for me, and for a 23 year old young man (my we have aged since those days), who was definitely not into teapots, he chose exactly the right one! I have had this teapot now for just a few weeks shy of 13 years, and though I have since had others added to my little collection, all as gifts from my husband and daughters, this one will always be my most treasured. It makes a delicious cup of tea, too!
