Kitchen Antiques In Black & White


Fun weekend! I mean, pretty low key fun. Not Disneyland or anything. We made a few floaty tissue pom poms, and found a few fabulous things junking.  But hey, I'm pretty low maintenance. . . .





My favorite first! Mother-of-pearl and silver, cut crystal shakers. Happiness in a bottle! Or two! 




Child's play.




Maia's turned out looking like a rose!




Those button top shakers with a Big Ben by Westclock. Tick tock.








Artist at work.







Black & white ironstone transferware tray. Fun find!




One dollar's worth of happiness.





Antique tin mold. Such a lovely.





















Monkey Ward's Family Scale! (Did your Dad call MW that too?)




















I'm not sure whether to weigh my hours or time my sugar! Sew some salt? But that's just me in the chicken. I mean kitchen. And (hiccup) no, FYI, we didn't get into the cooking sherry. . . .

I hope you had a little fun this weekend too!
Have a great week!

  11. Funny! I have that same chicken...ah, kitchen scale in green, but yours is in way better condition. Yes, it was Monkey Wards, just like Wally World of today.

    The tissue flowers are so pretty!

  13. Love all of your new found goodies and the tissue flowers are lovely. We have a rose here called The Confederate rose and the flower looks just like a tissue rose. I remember making these in school at recess. You brought back nice memories.

  21. I love the salt and pepper shakers. It looks like you had a fun time making tissue paper flowers with someone special. It's very cold here today so I'm indoors out of the wind. I'd rather be raking the yard!

  26. Hi J,
    Well low key is my favorite and this looks fun! Good finds and loved ones :-)
    Sweet Maia and her sweet paper flowers are darling! I have never seen Salt and Peppers with MOP button tops, these are amazing, now I have something else to add to my "I gotta find one of those!" list :-)
    Hugs,
    Bella

  27. Interesting finds! The shakers are quite unique. And the pom poms are lovely. Maia's one does look like a big rose.

  28. Yes~ my dad called it MONKEY WARDS. So funny, I had to scroll back and read it again...just to make sure I read it right! {snicker}

    as for the paper flowers, I just taught my daughter how to make those from my grand-daughters 3rd birthday party. My daughter didn't know how-- we practiced on white paper (saving the green and yellow for the real deal)
    I put my white one in my newly redecorated bathroom!
    It got sweet compliments today--
    have a good one~Pat

  31. Thanks for sharing these photos, Jacqueline. The paper flower is lovely, and your 'finds' look wonderful grouped together that way. (The S&P shakers are my favorite, too!) Simple pleasures are the best, always.
