Welcome to the 121st TTT. I can't wait to see what all you guys have to share.
I am still going through boxes in the garage and trying to find a home for everything. I'm finding a few more antiques, so of course that meant I had to play.
More Antique tin cans and a fabulous Nabisco box.
(I had to use the flash since this was so high, but I wanted you to see the detail.) Remember the old Nabisco boxes sitting on the counter and you could buy a cookie. Yes I know, I am 200 yrs. old, but I use to think it was fun and remember I grew up in a town that was 1 block long and we had a soda fountain that had one of these. lol I placed an Alice Foote MacDougal Coffee can and a KC Baking Powder can inside. Then I put a small Glendora Coffee can and an Asco Table Syrup can on top. These are pretty rare cans and I love the colors and the graphics. The coffee grinder is next and then I added a Gold Medal Brand Garden Tea can. It says Montgomery Ward on the label. How fun is that. Then a Pedro Smoking Tobacco can on top. They sit next to my Sprague Warner & Co. Oolong Tea can.
The next thing I found is my 4 qt. hand crank glass butter churn. This is one my mom used for years.
I am still working on the pledge to find a home for everything. I think these all work fine on the top of the cabinet.
Kind of fun to look around the kitchen and see all of the tin cans and antiques.
One of my favorite rooms in the house. I love to cook, so I spend a lot of time in here. It's nice to be surrounded by things I enjoy looking at.
Just a little housekeeping news. I own my blog now, I purchased my name A Stroll Thru Life. Everything should still be the same and you should all still get my posts the same way you always have. The only thing that's changed is my blog url. It is http://www.astrollthrulife.net.
Now let's see what you guys have been doing!!!!!
I love all of your vintage tins. They add so much warmth and love to the house. You have such a good eye on placing things that make your home so cozy and inviting.

I love that Tea box mostly. Your kitchen is always so lovely, Marty. Deb
ReplyDeleteHi Marty...once again I am here by the skin of my teeth...we've been out exploring for a new home. Time is certainly limited these days, but I do like to participate in the parties when I can.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for hosting TTT.
Oh how I love how you arrange all your beautiful things. I (((LOVE))) that butter churn! Have you ever used it? I would LOVE to have one like that and make some homemade butter and MAYBE flavor it with honey(OH MY, Now I have a new WISHLIST THINGIE)!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing and hosting our fun!
Have a wonderful week,
Hugs,
Donna
PS: Just want to add...I earned my Saturday show money using a churn very similar to yours. Yes, each Saturday I churned the butter for Granny. My salary was 25 cents...the price of admission to the movies, plus a box of popcorn or a pack of Charms. Remember Charms?:-)
ReplyDeleteHey Marty- glad to be joining you today at your party.

You're doing great finding a home for everything, Marty! I think the cans look right at home on top of the cabinets. If you spend a lot of time in your kitchen you should have things to look at that give you pleasure.
ReplyDeleteMarty, you are very busy unpacking your pretty treasures. My cabinets go to the ceiling so it is great you can display your objects on yours. Thanks for hosting. hugs, olive
ReplyDeleteOh Marty, everything is as cute as can be! I love your antique cans and accessories. Looks so homey and inviting. I am trying to start back to blogging so perhaps I will come up with a TT for next week. :)

Dear Marty, I hope one day you can make your blog into a book for your generations to come, to follow and share. You have so many lovely things and it would make "sharing" much more enjoyable if you could actually document stories, where each item came from, how long you have had it, etc. Seems like a natural progression for you. And about this progression of your builder built house becoming a home, well I would say that is coming along very well too! Is it almost "mission accomplished"
ReplyDeleteHi Marty! I just love the tins and other antiques you have been finding in your garage - they really add a warmth to your setting, and you have such a talent for placing them just so! Thanks for hosting the party again this week, always fun!!!! Jane
ReplyDeleteMarty,
ReplyDeleteI am quite smitten with your vintage box and tin can displays!!! Lovley vignettes atop your cabinets! I agree, with being surrounded by the things that make you happy!!!
Fondly,
Pat
I like your big TEA tin very much I use to collect tins at one time and bought every Hallmark tin ornament
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting Marty! love the old coffee tins... I have a few. Little Bit
ReplyDeleteUn véritable plaisir que de pouvoir admirer ces boîtes en fer anciennes...
ReplyDeleteLa petite baratte en verre de votre maman est aussi adorable. En France, celle de ma grand-mère était en bois.
Gros bisous à vous.
Love the butter churn, i have never seen one like that!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting!
Marty,
ReplyDeleteYou have the most unique tins! So pretty.
Thanks for hosting TTT.
Hey Marty!! I'm always left out of your tabletop party because I don't ever do table tops... but I'm hoping my mantel qualifies. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your antique cans, Marty. They fit right up there. Congrats on owning your blog!...Christine
ReplyDeleteMarty, recently I was out in Yucca Valley and spotted this great little antique shop, so went in and found this butter churn. Having one of my own, I'm always curious to see how much they are and was I shocked! She had the price tag of $98 on it. Same w/one of the big copper containers you can put wood in, $98. I'm so glad I got my things when I did! The kitchen looks great.
ReplyDeleteMarty, your kitchen is amazing! I love your REAL ANTIQUES! You are always an inspiration and I look forward to reading your blog every day!
ReplyDeleteMarty, Your kitchen is lovely. It's my kind of space with all the wonderful vintage items. I so like being surrounded by my treasures too. xx
ReplyDeleteMarty, I love your tin cans, they have such character.
ReplyDeleteToday I've linked up my Oatmeal Breakfast Smoothie.
Thanks for hosting and I hope you have a great week!
