We’ve kept quite a few loads of things that have come to us through the generations – here are some:
My great grandmother’s flour container, that she had in her kitchen She was born in 1870, and died in 1967… The wooden bowl comes from the same side of the family, but is probably older. It’s a beer bowl – it was filled with beer and passed around. There’s a painted inscription along the side: “God, grant us a good year, so we may drink well and often” (or something to that effect…)
This chair was made by my great grandfather – the husband of the lady who owned the flour container. I’ve upholstered the seat, using a fabric woven by their daughter – my grandmother. The two copper kettles come from my husbands’ family – beautiful things, made for wood stoves.
All of these are not only old-fashioned – they’re downright old…
