My auction jaunt made me really happy and I decided to actually utilize some of the linens and stuff that I have stored, or just not really "the focus" in my kitchen....so, here you go!
The kitchen "table"...we really don't eat there, it's too small (with all the dogs  ) but I like to keep it dressed.
The corner where Finn sleeps (incidentally, my favorite corner with chickens from my gran's house that I remember from being little and our chalkboard with a to do list!
The other side, with bakers rack that supposed to be a Boone Cabinet (just like a Hoover, only made by Boone) but it's still in storage--dog food in the big red bag, cat food in the vintage red lard container
This used to be a window into the backyard until 1950 when they added two rooms...now it holds all my stuff!!!
Close up of stuff, including old cookbooks from my Great Aunt, her red flour sifter, her egg beater, and the tea canister I just bought last night at Auction. Had to put it up!!!! Also ALL my cookbooks :)
My favorite old sign that I framed to save it, along with a blackbird flag I found later :). Everyone who comes into my kitchen laughs out loud at this sign, just like I did when I bought it from the antique booth.
A relic from my childhood haunt, when I stayed with my Gran in Grove City, Ohio. It was right by the railroad tracks, and is gone now, much to my disappointment. Guess that's where I get my love of sawdust smell!!!

Very sweet, so warm and inviting. I love old kitchenware. Your flour sifter is the sweetest! Thanks for sharing you sweet abode! I think we should have a decorating forum where we all share our homes.
Hugs & blessings,

Thanks, Sue :)...I really love red, as you may be able to tell :). I'd love to see some of your kitchen gadgets, too! The rolling pin was my Great Gran's (and still in use) and I love that old egg beater. My Great Aunt was quite a cook and her kitchen was full of nifty things. The Better Homes cookbook was hers from when she first married. It has a date of 1953 inside. It has some GREAT basics in there!!!

Well, I planned on making a pie anyway for Sterl (and of COURSE, David!). My recipe is from the 1870's or so, my nanny's "mammy's mom's recipe (if you can follow:))....
But yes, yes, yes, every month! Burlington is just about 4 miles east of Florence, Kentucky, on Route 18...and after you go through Burlington, you can go to the Dinsmore and of course, my favorite, Rabbit Hash! It's all on the same jaunt :)

Well, girl, I didn't mean that YOU would have to fix lunch(although Sweet Potato Pie does happen to be David's favorite pie). If we're shopping and moving, etc. we could go somewhere for lunch. So this fun deal happens every month???? I've been working waaaayyy to hard the past few years. And I still don't have a clue where Burlington is???? Every time I say it outloud, I think of 'Burlington Coat Factory' LOL! :D

heee heee! That totally made me laugh! Yes of course there would be lunch....also pie (homemade Sweet Potato!)...
Burlington is one of the biggest Antique shows in this region, held on the 2nd (or 3rd?) weekend April through October, I believe. They begin at 5 am (if you're game...but if not, doors open at 8). If I'm not mistaken, Miss Wilma will have her booth there, and her doll babies, and her lovely stuff (if she hasn't sold it all already!!!)
It would be SUPER FABULOUS if you would come, Janice. I would absolutely fall over if we could all get together and do something we all love to do. I could learn from the masters!!!!!

Hi, Miss Wilma! When/where is Burlington? What's going on there? I'm game for any new adventure! :D And I have over 200 varieties of daylilies. I'm not sure what's up yet, but they should all be showing their little heads within the next month. I'd be happy to bring a box along. This sounds like a fun idea - moving Mr. Boone to Jonni's house, plant exchange, trip to Burlington(I hope it's an antique show...;). Would lunch be in there somewhere??? I get hungry after shopping/telling men how to move furniture.

Yes, the lilies will come up at different times. It may even be a little early(hope we don't have another frost - but we probably will before derby day). We're going to the farm on Wednesday(the only dry day) b/cause we bought a bunch of stuff at Aldi's on Sunday and we need to plant. So I'll check to see what's trying to come up.

Janice, you are so sweet to offer--but then, what else would I expect from you :) One of the daylily's has already started sprouting, and I am anxiously awaiting the other's to make an appearance. It stands to reason that each one would have a bit different growth time to emerge, right? I do love fuschia, and I so very much appreciate you!!!!!
I'd love to get together soon, anyway....with or without Mr. Boone :)

Well, hey, girl! We have a nice, fairly large Chevrolet truck. Maybe we can arrange to help you pick up Mr. Boone sometime this summer. Like if we're both going to an antique show nearby and can meet up. BTW - let me know if/when your daylilies come up. If they don't, they get replaced. And I'm still sending you the ones I promised last year(Fuschia, I believe???).

It is so nice Jonni, just like home. I know it is so comfortable too. I'm with the others, that No Trespassing sign is hard to beat. Your Great Aunt's red flour sifter is right on top of my favorites there, though. Thanks for sharing it with us.
You can never have enough friends.

Thanks :) I love that blackboard--before my list went up (that we add to daily), it had a winter scene that Justin drew. It also occasionally has quotes that we like or whatever. This month it's full of goals!!!! I got it at a little junk shop for $10.
I found such humor in that No Trespassing Sign, Janice....Finn sends Buster and Stinky his love :)
The Boone Cabinet can come home whenever I get a uhaul...which seems simple enough, right? For some reason, the weekend rolls around and I forget all about it.

So cute, Jonni. Both Finn and the No Trespassing sign are priceless!! I'm going to copy your idea with the blackboard. That's handy and it looks good, too. When will the Boone cabinet come home?

Thanks girls...that Finn, he's my soulmate for sure. I love that dog more than I can describe!!! His crate was there when he was younger, and now it's just "his" spot (as you can tell by the dirt schmeer on the wall :)). He likes to be where I am, and that's mostly in the kitchen, so that's where he is most at ease.
C'mon over, Nubi and make some food with me--the kitchen is small, but full of good ideas and tools :) Sounds like your new addition IS a dream dog--Jus would be the same way. I love a man with a big heart for animals!!!!

I just love your kitchen. It looks so country cozy. Lots of really cool stuff. I like the dog with the black eye laying in the corner, too. He/she seems content.

I love your "stuff",(esp Finn) When I get some time, I will post pics of my kitchen spot too.. I love looking at everyone's space!! Your kitchen looks like the kind I would like to come to & create some xtra special goodies. Sorry I haven't posted much. We just had a new addition(not planned of course) a stray shepherd husky mix that hubby swears is divine intervention cause she looks like his last 2 dogs combined. How can you say no when hubby brings God in the mix??? |
