I'm not ever sure what to call this old cupboard/shelves thingy. I bought it to display vintage merchandise at one of my market spaces about 12 years ago. It was really rough when I found it but we added trim and painted it white. When it came time to close down my space I just couldn't sell it. I used it to store quilts awhile back and when we moved here I realized it might be a good place to house cookbooks and kitchen kitsch.
So it's here on the long wall of the Hearth Room / Kitchen housing all kinds of seasonal stuff
and my cookbooks (old and outdated as they are)
The main attraction, other than my reindeer, are/is my vintage British Biscuit tins. I've collected these few since I've been flea-ing over the years, but I'm always on the lookout for anything plaid or Scottish looking. My maternal great grandmother was Scottish, from the Cameron Clan, so I guess I come by it naturally.
My daughter brought me back the modern Walkers tin
shaped like a truck from England a while back.
I was hooked on them till I found out I was allergic to gluten.
My vintage red plaid Tartan umbrella fits right in with the rest of the theme.
and my little British "foxy" rider is taking a break.
I keep my cottage cookie jars and salt and pepper set out year round.
More Christmas fun coming up!

Hi Debra! Oh, your little nook looks darling! I spy a Currier and Ives tin. I've collected the blue and white Currier and Ives dishes for years. I have enough now so I can stop! :) I love seeing your treasures and how you display them.

ReplyDeleteDebra,
ReplyDeleteI love that you kept the market display cabinet!
As I visited with others about home design,
I always share with them to blend the old with the new.
