Vintage ice chest

Look what I found. It was in my grandparents workshop! It was covered in dust and grime. I can't believe the tray and can/bottle opener were still inside! Ha Ha, I just noticed that Rascal is checking it out in the photo above.

The only drawback is that it is a bit heavy, even while empty! It is a Therm-a-Chest made by Knapp Monarch Company of St. Louis Missouri. I'm thinking it would best be used to ice down drinks here at home. What do y'all think?

Pre-Christmas Surprise!

During the week of Thanksgiving, I was surprised with a gift from longtime friend. The bird curio that belonged to my husband's grandmother was moved to our dining area and the barrister shelves took that place. Many of the items in the shelves are from my friend as well. I am so honored to be entrusted with these treasures.

I have admired them since I was in High school. They still contain the original wavy glass.

I also received china and Fostoria. I spent several days doing some major re-arranging in my large curio, hutch and other cabinets! Then the Christmas decorating began, which didn't leave much time for blogging. Now that I am out of school until the New Year,so I hope to catch up on blogging and many other things.
Y'all come back,
