KITCHEN VIGNETTE




These two bowls belonged to my maternal grandmother.

I never knew her as she died before I turned two years old.

There are bits and pieces of her here in the Cozy Little Cabin.

I wonder how I can miss her, having never known her?

  2. I think I would miss "the not knowing". Glad you have something of hers. I have lots of my grandmothers. I was the only granddaughter. She didn't have much but I was glad to have her things. My other grandmother gave me a dish as a wedding present that had belonged to her grandmother since I was her oldest granddaughter. That is all that I have.

  3. Thanks Amanda and Debby. Debby, I fortunately have lots of things that belonged to this grandmother. . . . lots of kitchen items and many others.

    I think you're right about the "not knowing". . . I have no idea what she thought about me. I'm guessing she would have liked me - that's how grandparents are - but it would have been special to discover how much alike we are/aren't.

  4. I display pieces of my grandmothers too, I never knew my dad's mom...but I enjoyed my mom's mom...both were cooks and both loved to sew...so I have both of their thimbles and vintage things they made....It's fun to display their things in a vintage setting of a cabin....
    thanks for visiting Mel's Designs from the Cabin....Mel

  5. I have things belonging to a great grandmother-- on my dad's side.
    She passed when I was nine--my memory of her is so very faint.In fact, hers is the first funeral I remember attending,as a child... But I think of her often and my Papa (her husband) I think we would have gotten along really well.
    I like that bowl in the foreground. Your photos are lovely.
    I have a program that makes pictures old and one that cleans up old pictures too.
    have a great week, Pat

    We share the same weather you and I.

  9. I like the aged effect. The colors on the little bowl are especially nice. I also like the look of the towels in the basket behind your treasures.
