My latest deal...............

I hardly ever go to e-bay, but I did the other day to look at 'vintage' kitchen canisters. I LOVE the silver ones with the copper lids..........and lots of others. I didn't know they actually made canisters out of CHROME! After looking at them on e-bay, I informed my family that I was going to go to my favorite thrift store and buy a set. I didn't get any the actual day of my announcement, but soon after that I did!

These 4 came to $3.75. They were not sitting together so I didn't think when I picked up the 'sugar' that I was going to get the whole set. It was like looking for Easter Eggs..........only you usually don't have to PAY when you find the eggs. This isn't exactly the color I was looking for, but it will do for my new kitchen. Actually, a robin egg blue would have been perfect............
I was wondering the other day.......what IS it that attracts us to old things? Why do we just like to have things like this in our home? Old doilies are better than new ones, same with quilts and rocking chairs. Do these things make us think back to our Granny and Grandma cooking? doing embroidery? sitting at the sewing machine making another quilt? rocking in an old chair? I don't know, but I DO like old things better than new. It is a challenge to find things I collect........but IF you want to take me to Dillard's, I won't say no.
