Treasured Memories ~ Part 3

So...

here I am again
with another post
about what I will call my
"Farm Series"

here I gave you a little background
on what is being done at our little farmhouse

then here was about the farm itself
and an emotional visit and photo shoot I had there

although I know the memories are not in the items
but in my heart

some of the items I brought home
bring a smile

these 2 spoons remind me of Grammy
of mornings in the pantry
watching her mix ~ I love how she wore it down
after years of baking and stirring

this little poem hung in the old kitchen
we found it in a shoebox full of old photo's

this was one of the treasures Gina took home...

the old fabric is off throw pillows
that used to be on the cot in the old kitchen

odd enamel lids, an old OXO tin and a cool spoon
plus thimbles!

loving the old bottles of flavoring

did some one say enamel??

the small white pot with the red trim spark
the greatest of memories... this was the dipper

we drank from it, dipped hot water from the warming tank
on the wood stove with it... it was a constant and
I love it!

the other enamel pieces also spark a memory and a smile
and I can see them full of flowers next summer

these will also be used as planters

I love old tins so these were a find
they are now proudly on display

I saw this box on my first trip in
I knew it was get tossed
so when we returned ~ I scooped it up

it not only held quilting pieces that
Grammy had pre-cut for future use
but all of her patterns

since I have been wanting to start a quilt myself
the last couple of years
this was a sign to me

we also found some old quilts
most not in great shape
but I have some future plans for them...

there was an old roller towel by the back door
and I am trying to figure out where I can install one here
so I can use all the old linens

the nesting bowls I love ~ and more fabric with a memory

we each took an old blueberry rake
plenty of days spent in the field with one of these!

I also have a few more little treasures
that I will sprinkle into posts
here and there

also
some old pictures
that I will take a rainy day
and do some scanning
and sharing.

Thank You so much
for sharing in my walk down memory lane

I was back this week-end
I love walking around the yard
seeing the apples on the tree out front
remembering how things used to be...

We can wish for once was and remember
But we can't make it happen again
