Look what I got!

 

I haven’t bought an antique piece of furniture, in a lot of years.  It sure feels good!  I am calling this my hutch, as it is now in the dining room.  It holds my linens, candle holders and believe it or not, my recycling!  I put my plastics, glass, etc. in the metal bins, below.  I am short on storage, in this house, as big as it is.

hutch 006 (1024x760) I got that fork thing at the Farm Chick’s show, this summer.  I was going to use it for a hook on the back porch but it looks like it should hold something.  Pictures won’t work, I don’t think.  Hummmmm.

I crafted the bottle this last week.  Any guesses, on who that guy is on the bottle.  Opps, I think I just gave it away!  Sharon got it right away….not sure how she knew that!  : )

    Sweet find! I'm trying to figure out how you have that old wringer on the top of that box.
    I have one (not that old and cool)and would like to figure out how to display it inside the store in the kitchen areas. right now it is sitting in a bin outside. I have galvanized tins but no room in the store for it.

    Got your email and will be at store tomorrow and get it all together. =)

    That old wringer is leaning (just a bit) on that grinder in front. I have mostly displayed it on the floor but decided to get it up where I could see it! I actually used one of these when I first got married (1965)....that's how old I am!
    Here we go again, my own blog doesn't recognize me! kpaints!

    What an awesome fine. Love the way you have it displayed. And I too had one of those Grinders, 1964 wedding shower gift. Yes it dates me too but hey if not that then something or someone else would LOL.

    I love the new piece. I've often drooled over similar ones. Love how you display your antiques. I could use the old wringer washer for the tub I was given a while back. That's the only part missing.
