Jennifer came in the day after Christmas and really made my Christmas special...she went antiquing in Winston Salem, North Carolina for some of my gifts:)
This picture isn't an antique but I just love it, I'm going to put it above my shelf that Stush made, after all the Christmas stuff is put away.
I also got to umwrap this...it's what they used to put on their porch for the milkman to keep the milk from freezing and there is milk bottles inside...the egg beater is what she got me too. I'm thinking that I'd like to put them up above my kitchen cabinets if it fits:)
The tea kettle has water in it so it heats and gives the air in here some humidity and it does get hot!
This is the garlic dip that Linda sent me in our Christmas stocking swap, I made this Christmas day and it was so good...thanks again Linda! also the little snowman knife she sent:)
I want to wish everyone of my blogging friends a wonderful and prosperous New Year...you have all been just wonderful sharing and caring. I wish we could meet in person all the way from Austraila, Scotland, all the states to Canada...wouldn't it be wonderful?We are invited to two places tonight, one is a house party and the other is at a place with a DJ who Stush and I went to school with, Stush loves to dance...I know I lucked out didn't I? lol so I don't know where we will end up, doesn't matter as long as I'm with him:)

Rondell-
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you. I love your milk box. I have been looking at them for a while. I remember when I was little we use to have one on our front porch. Our milkmans name was Dick. Wouldn't it be nice to open your door and have your milk there instead of going out.

Hi Rondell,
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of the tree with the snow falling outside. We didn't have snow for Christmas either, but are going burst of snow today.
We are staying in tonight and my parents are coming over to play cards...then Josie and Kimberly are coming over to spend tomorrow with us as my SIL has to work. He is a fireman and is on duty tomorrow.
Have a wonderful time tonight.

Rondell,
ReplyDeleteOh, what great and thoughtful gifts you received! Those are the best! I would have been so excited over all those "old" gifts! :)
I wondered too how Marley and Me would be. I think Joy would love it. Maybe we'll try to go this Friday! Thanks for the comments on it!
I hope you and Stush have a great time, where ever you end up going!
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I love your gifts! I use to have a antique/collectable shoppe called Amazing Grace in the art district in Winston Salem. I now live over 2 hours away but still love shopping the art district when I am up that way. What vintage treasures you can find there.

Hi Rondell,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. Actually, I did get my red background from blogger. I just looked under colors and fonts (I think). Right where you change your font color and all that other fun stuff, but that is where I found that red background. I love that red (the only one out there that I liked) (lol). Oh by the way... I love your new blog header.
How did you get the snow effect?
Have a great New Year!!
Happy New Year!...Love that milk keeper!
ReplyDeleteLove all your goodies ! Happy New Year !
ReplyDeleteJanae

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Rondell!!! Great goodies you recieved!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Rondell! It has been so wonderful getting to know you these past few months. I look forward to learning more in the new year:) I hope your new year is full of blessings!
ReplyDeleteHappy 2009 Rondell! Your antique gifts are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteMy grandpa used to be a milk man and so did my dad after him. My sisters always teased me saying that I was the milk man's daughter. :o)
I hope someday to find a milk box to add to my decor. It would be awesome to find one that says Sawyer's Milk on it because that would have most likely been one of ours if it was from here in Maine.
At any rate, sorry for rambling, but you brought up a whole bunch of warm memories of the milk truck.
I hope you had a fun time last night. May God bring you many blessings in 2009.
Hugs~ Birgit
Happy New Year, Rondell!
ReplyDeleteI love all your gifts......but the milk box is my fav! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteCyndi
What wonderful gifts, Rondell! I hope you and Stush had a terrific New Year's Eve! Happy 2009!
ReplyDeleteRondell, Thanks for posting to my blog, it's exciting to get visitors. I read the beginning post on your blog with your Dad too. By the way we have the same dishes and my Goodwill in our town only has the lids to all the pots and pans that are missing at your Goodwill! I'm envious of all the other gals too. Ann
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! You received some lovely goodies. :)
ReplyDeleteStephanie
Happy New Year! Looking forward to another year of reading your blog!! Wish you could send some of that snow my way!!!
ReplyDeleteRondell, I've never seen one of those old milk boxes. How charming! And what a lovely gift. Won't that look nice in your lovely prim house?
ReplyDeleteSmiles,
Lea
