Grannie's Old Stuff

I was in the studio as always digging and thought I might as well show some of these old mixing bowls that my Mom and I have kept.
I don't like the jewel tea pattern but Mom loved it so no way could I get rid of it. Only I have gotten one young lady in the family who wants it and said she remembers eating off it at Grandma's house and she would love to have it. So soon as she sets up housekeeping it's hers. A good house warming present don't you think ? there is place setting for 8 plus all the coffee pots tea pots casseroles salt pepper on and on.

This first set I liked and keeping for myself

tulips

Nesting bowls

Grease bowl salt and Pepper

I know these bowls are not sought after these days but might as well show them

Now for The Autumn Leaf by Jewel tea nesting bowls. I don't know anyone who likes this set

Grease bowl salt and pepper

Nesting Bowls

There was a Mary Dunbar recipe book and 2 hot pads in the cabinet with all the dishes

Here is a ball pitcher and I broke a coffee cup to this set while getting it out of the old pie safe

Mom had this ball pitcher also but I don't know the pattern name

I know this is a cookie jar

AFew family cook books

Grandma's platter

Grandpa's fish scale on the platter this was in his tackle box and I remembered it from when I use to go fishing with them (hated fishing). I kept this and gave his tackle box to a family member who fishes

I have had this little tea set a while and it was in the cabinet with all these dishes

Grandpa's rulers

I was reading a blog today where this lady was clearing out her house of all old family members items. she said if she didn't use it for everyday it was going. She mentioned she had boxes in closets under beds n storage rooms of family mementos and she still had the memories so the stuff was leaving her house. I am almost to that point but not quite. Some things I just can't part with.
