I had this posted last night and for some reason when I
made a correction on something and tried to re-post it,
it said there was an error…blogger is giving me fits lately.
I added the LINKY widget on my sidebar if you care to
start following me from there…no telling when
Blogger will delete my followers…please add your name!
I won some wonderful treasures from Kathi from
http://rusticheartramblings.blogspot.com/
Not only did Kathi send the Sheep and Hearts
but she included Two adorable Sheep Note Cards…
now how did she know I like Sheep!
Thanks so much Kathi
We have also had a couple of very pretty but heavy snowfalls…one of them came on Friday.
Not a ton of snow but it was wet and heavy and came in a very short time.
I can’t think of anything real interesting
OR fun so I will share some of my old treasures
from my husbands grandparents.
We were gifted with these a few years ago at a reunion of cousins…
being I’m the only one in the family who researches our family history they
thought we would enjoy them and take care of them.
Doug’s aunt placed notes on each piece when she got them so whoever did receive
them would have the history of the item…thanks goodness!
This little teacup set was a Christmas gift to
Doug’s grandmother when she was a little girl.
She was born in 1889
Cut glass dessert dishes as a wedding gift to
Netti and Martin – they were married in 1908
Green Candy dish….given to Doug’s grandmother
by her uncle when she was a small child
.
Creamer/Sugar set, Toothpick holder
These belonged to Doug’s grandmother’s mother.
These have a dark gold ring around the top
edges that has worn off over the years
Hand crocheted doily given to his
grandmother, made by her grandmother
Two platters of his grandmother’s – the
large one was given to us by his cousin.
The small one was from Doug’s mother when she passed
away…they were from the same set of his grandmother’s
Information on the dishes
Spooner jar…these were used on the tables to hold teaspoons
This design is the Turkey Foot
And lastly…a silverware caddy that Doug’s grandfather
made for Doug’s grandmother when they got married in 1908.
It has the original green paint on it – I love the wear marks.
Martin and Nettie Martinsen – their wedding day
December 23, 1908 
Taken in 1926
Netti 1950
Hope you enjoyed this step back in time with me.
Oh, I forgot…my gorgeous sheep from
Teresa’s Primitive Treasures arrived last week
It’s even better than the picture…

THANK YOU TERESA
Before I forget…our new granddaughter will be named
MIRANDA PAIGE MARTINSEN…I love it!
She’s expected to arrive July 7th
One of my customers requested a special order
Candle Hugger…a Rooster – to go in her
Yellow and Red kitchen, well I didn’t have a
good pattern for one so I combined Two to get this
I think she’ll like it. It is to fit one of the Mason Jar
candles but I’m showing it on a tin I had
