Photo Friday ~ Crocks

I'm participating for the first time with The Primitive Pantry Photo Friday. Go here http://theprimitivepantryblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/photo-fridays-crocks.html to see who all displayed their prims this week.The theme this week is crocks.I picked just a few to share.We have them up to 30 Gallons.I like my crocks in good shape without cracks and blue decorated...Here is a stack my hubby did while he was bored yesterday...Bottom is 25 gallons huge...Yellow Ware Jug...

Some of my blue decorated..Would love some info on the indian head if anyone has some history..

This old blue Pitcher is one of my favorites..

Very old redware with blue decoration.A few tiny chips but found this one for a steal at a barn sale years ago..

This one I found last week...

Apothecary Morter with Pestal.....

Cider Jug from England....

Love this 3 gallon crock the blue is imperfect and it is out of round.They didn't throw out the defects over 100 years ago..

Hubby's Butter Churn Crock..The spout was to drain the buttermilk....

Love the ones with the bee sting design..

Hope you enjoyed some of my collection.I finally got the giveaway ready to post and it will be posted this afternoon or tomorrow at the latest.We are going to the antique mall this afternoon.It's cold and rainy so I'm a little stir crazy and hubby is off and offered so I couldn't say no.LoL....Warm Blessings!~Amy

Tuesday Display Chain ~ Bowls

Oh I'm not feeling good at all this morning.Have a terrible tummy ache but I love Tuesday's Display Chain and bowls was our theme.Bowls are pretty self explanitory so decided instead of history or chit chat I'd just share lots of pics of some of my old bowls....Enjoy!!

Now hop on over to our host Misi's http://1890gablehousemusings.blogspot.com/ and check out everyones displays.If I feel better tomorrow I'll post the Giveaway..Thanks for visiting.Warm Blessings!~Amy

Happy President's Day!!

Happy President's Day! No it's not a big deal to me but thought it would be a great chance to show off my favorite George Washington stuff..LoL...

I make the blackened beeswax filler/tucks with a antique mold....

I love George Washington! Talked Hubby into taking me on the day trip antiquing today but didn't find much that caught me which was a dissapointment because I had a little extra to spend.I wanted a new trencher or cupboard but didn't find any I liked that I thought were worth the money.So I bought a putz sheep or goat with horns he was pretty rough but I'll try to fix him because he was only $1,I also bought a older magazine it was Mary Emmerling and had lots of primitives and a old baby larger portrait.Oh and bee smoker with neat graphics...We went to TGIF for lunch.Now we're expecting 6+ inches of snow tonight.Hubby is making steak for dinner and I'm going to cozy up in my pj's with my new judy condon book.Warm Blessings!~Amy

I was teased by Old Man Winter

Thursday and Friday were just beautiful days here in Pennsylvania.We had temps in the mid 60's.Sun was shining.Dogs got extra long walks..I opened the windows and got some cleaning done..Which got me in the mood for tweaking and putting some of my new stuff out..But old man winter tricked us because Saturday was 50 mph winds our electric went out like 5 times.The rest of the week is supposed to be cold with snow and rain..Friday I had to go run errands and decided to stop at a local country shop to look around.When I got home there was a box from my sister in law Jean http://primcrafts.blogspot.com/ We've been swapping prim goodies.If you're Reading Jean Happy Birthday!!! I had bought a few things at the shop and with the goodies she sent I decided to go ahead and get my spring stuff out.So it may still be winter outside but it's warm and cozy inside...... Beeskeep and old wire garden carrier...They'll stay out till fall....I have wool stuck inside the pots and some eggs,rooster and chick...

The sweet prim bunny and carrots in the basket were from the swap with Jean...I love the prim bunny she out did herself on him! The blue bonnet I bought from my friend Lecia http://farmhouseprims.blogspot.com/ behind the angel is a gift she sent recently a prim ditty bag.....

Antique chalkboard gets changed out each season....

I bought the new mat for under the bowl on my trip friday.....

Little beeswax bunny I made...

I needed something for the front door so I bought this friday too..Old shutter with burlap and pretty flowers.I liked this because it can be left out all summer and it won't hurt to get a little dirt...

And last but not least I found this wonderful antique 3 gallon crock.I love the wreath around the 3 and that it has handles.It was in great shape with no cracks or chips.I paid $40 for it which I thought was a steal since it is blue decorated...

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! I noticed I'm over 200 followers.Welcome to all my new friends! I'll be doing a giveaway hope to get it posted wednesday.I'm making the goodies for it now and should be ready to post by then. Hoping to talk hubby into taking me to maryland this afternoon for a little antiquing.The twins are at girl scout camp today so mom and the girls won't be out Grandma's my sis and nephew won't make it and my cousins have to work so I might not go out today,especially if I can talk hubby into a little day trip.Warm Blessings!~Amy
