My New/Old Treasure!!!!

This was my weekend purchase. I was so excited to finally get it. I have been eying this Hosier for a while now and I just couldn't bring myself to buy it. But I finally just had to do it. The bottom piece actually belonged to my husbands grandma and then someone found the top piece that matched it really well.

Now comes the fun part of decorating it. I have put my cookbooks and a few other things on it to make it look not so empty. So now I get to go treasure hunting for some old things from the kitchen. Since I put it in my kitchen I only thought that it was right to fill it with old kitchen utensils. I put an old butter churn on the top and an old flour sifter and jelly jars in the cabinet.

I can remember in my grandparents old Farm House that they had one similar to this. It had a wood finish on it and it sat in her kitchen/dining room. I was about 18 at the time that they moved and sold everything from the house but I wish that I would have been a little smarter and get a few things from there. I did get a couple things that I still have. And I will never get rid of. I loved to get things that belonged to a family member and that have stories within the family. It just makes it that much more valuable!

Have a great week!!!

Kizz - that is soooooooo cool! WOW! Where did you score that? I want one too, but cant find one. I dont know what I would do with it, but that doesnt matter!! I remember the one at the farm and all the neat things there, wishing I would of paid more attention too!
I saw your candles at Gap Road. Brandie is taking some stuff there too. I think its going to be easier to keep things local , for her anyways :)
Well, take more pics and keep us updated on your goings on !!

Happy Teasure Hunting !!
