Vintage Thingies Thursday







Vintage Thingie Thursday : Vintage Favorites
I am new to the blog world and this is my first participation in a blog event. I am excited! Hope I do it right so here goes.Both my grandmothers were great cooks! This post will showcase some of my paternal grandmothers vintage kitchen items. She was an awesome cook, she did a lot of authentic Pennsylvania Dutch recipes that were passed down from the family . As we are descends of the Pennsylvania Dutch. First is a red swirl enamel spatter ware, this is a very large bowl and I don’t use it, for display only. Next is a large stoneware crock mixing bowl . Don’t use this one either. But I do use this old match box holder it is hanging above my stove. It is pretty beat up but I love it anyway! Well this is all for now I hope I did all the linking right. Thanks to Coloradolady for hosting this event! Here is a link to her blog http://coloradolady.blogspot.com/


Blessings to all Donna

  3. Welcome to VTT, Donna. You will find that RED is a favorite color of participants. Love those bowls. I have one of those match boxes I shared last week. And I saw your bread box behind the pyrex of an earlier post. Except for the flowers on the front, it is just like the one I shared this week.

    Glad you joined us and hope to see you next week.

  10. That stoneware mixing bowl you've got there is the "real McCoy" and valuable. Take good care of it. It's called a "shoulder bowl. It's from the 1920's and it shouldn't have any markings on the bottom..., but it's definitely a McCoy.

  11. Big bloggedy welcome! Today was my first Vintage Thingy Thursday too. Thanks for the sweet comments on my post. I'd love to see the swung vase that belonged to your mother. Your thingys are lovely. I have to admit that the matchbox holder is my favorite. One always hung in my grandmothers kitchen, and I wish I had it for myself.

    Have a great day!

  16. Donna,
    Great job on your first Vintage Thingies Thursday!

    Great that you have some of your grandmother's things.

    I see you had a store for 15 years.
    I just opened a gift shop last May, so our first anniversary is coming up.
    remember how excited you were then?
    But, alas, I have to now inventory all my things!!! Any suggestions?
    I have had my own business for 25 years teaching painting classes, but the store has to be set up different.

    Blessings,
    and welcome

  17. Howdy neighbor! I'm right over to the left a bit on the map, or is that the right?

    I love your red and your toothpick holder and your bowls and well, my goodness. I just love it there! I'm so glad that you're going to let us peek at your treasures!

  18. Welcome! Ok, just add me to all the red love that is here. You have wonderful pieces. And I also see you like to use pyrex, well, so do I. Don't think there is a kitchen out there that doesn't have one piece of pyrex or corning. So glad you joined in.
