Sunday 6. So what’s on that top cabinet shelf? The one you can’t reach…

those are simply lovely! I love that the brown Betty made the cut!

I unearthed two more tea pots. Yes, I’m going to have to cull these down! One is a vintage English thatched cottage w matching sugar and creamer. And the other is vintage red art deco, w matching lidded casserole.

Random: now that there’s an Internet and you can look things up, all these bibs and bobs I’ve I’ve Thrifted, garage sailed, or flea marketed with Mom back in the 1970s and beyond, has taken on new life now that they have a backstory.

Did you know that the Coors beer company made pottery during prohibition to stay afloat? I have a yellow pitcher from them. Same logo as the beer company!

And why did people have so many pitchers? I dare say nobody uses them today, what were people putting in them?

I think people considered it rude to put something on a table in its commercial container. My mom put milk on the table in a pitcher and so did neighbours. Or anything else we were drinking at dinner or snacks. When it was really hot, we drank some prepared beverage. I confess that I am still like that. I will never put mustard, or sauce or cream or whatever on the table without dirtying another dish for it first. (even if I am eating alone) what a priss!
