Posted a picture. Love these kinds of things. Just like to wonder about where they have been. I love the unusual shapes of the older spoons. Most of the ones you buy new now are pretty much the same and the wood isn't as nice.

I love your collection Nancy Jo,
Which ones are your favorites? Which ones do you use the most?
As a woodworker who loves to make kitchenware I'd be very interested to know.
Thank you for opening up your lovely home and sharing your treasures!

I love wooden spoons...and actually, I buy some really nice ones at the Kentucky Artisan Guild shows that look just like the old ones. I have slotted spoons, spreaders, tea spoons, etc and I use them each and every day.
I also have my Great Grandmother's rolling pin, though hers has red handles. Means a lot to have that, let me tell you!

Nancy Jo, Thanks for sharing uour home with us it's beautiful!!! I too love antiques, kitchen gadgets are a downfall, bread dough bowls, spoons, iron ware, just about anything you can think of we love it. We did antique shows and had a shop for awhile. Have you made a button braclet yet, fun to wear! I need to thin out some of my collections but I can't bring my self to do it. But I am proud of myself today I did pack away 14 rubbermaid containers of Christmas decorations and labeled each container. What a day!

Ohh, forgot to say, I love the bowl of spoons and rolling pins. wish I had my grandmas, I do have my husbands grandmas rolling pin and some I have collected along with a glass one that you can fill with warm or cold water and use. I also have mine and I dated it because my daughter wants it one day and I received it for my wedding present dated May 4, 1968. So one day it will be her keepsake. Again thanks for your pictures Linda |

Nancy Jo, what beautiful pictures of your beautiful house, thanks for a glimpse into your world. I also did a house cleansing last summer when it was to hot to be outside. My husband thought he came to the wrong house. Just got tired of the clutter and all the extra stuff sitting around. Made life a little simpler and easier to take care of. I still need a little more color in my living room, just have not decided what exactly. But I like the fact that it looks clean and together. Have a great time finishing up. I still have a guest bedroom to do and am working on colors and how I want it to look when finished. Hugs! Farmgirl #946 Linda |
