At Confessions of an Apron Queenthere is a 'Vintage thingies Thursday', and these are mine. My new old featherweight, my grandmother's and then my mother's blue canning jar, a quilt that my grandmother started, and my mother finished, an egg plate that I bought my mother for Christmas when I was a child, and a little Fairmont Dairy creamer from Omaha, that my aunt gave me.
Don't old things look so much prettier than new? It must be because of the all the love and use they've had. As an only child of only children I've inherited so many lovely things from both sides of my family. I'll try and choose a few to show you sometime.
I love the quilt and the sewing machine and together they tell the story about a family who enjoys sewing/quilting, very lovely heirlooms for you to enjoy!
Hi Candace, Lovely to hear you are home after a nice trip - glad you enjoyed it all. It's great to see photos of you and your hubby! Best wishes - Lurline.

Neat vintage items!
ReplyDeleteI love the egg plate. So much better than a tupperware dish! Thank you for participating. Look forward to seeing more of your vintage items! :D
