More of My Treasures...

Hello Ladies and Welcome again to Our Home! I am sharing some more random shots of my treasures throughout our home..I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as we do living with them.

My Sweetie took this shot about 22 years ago of a wild rose while we were on vacation and we had it blown up and matted to fit into this beautiful vintage frame we had. It hangs in our dining room over the cabinet I store linens in.

Some more of my transferware pieces that I can't get enough of..

I covered this H (for Home) with a damaged piece of lace..

This sweet chiming clock also hangs in the dining room along with the two tea cup prints..

Thanks for stopping in today..have a great weekend!

Hugs,

I hope you are having a wonderful Love filled weekend..take care.

Memories....

Memories....aren't they a blessing! Today I am sharing with you some Memories of my Mother's that she had passed on to me.

This beautiful picture was a wonderful memory for my Mother as it hung over the dining room table on the Family farm. She remembers it from childhood and she has since given it to me to treasure!

This next photo is one of the shots from our front porch. Our home was built in 1924 and we found this wooden beadboard in the basement when we removed some walls and reused it in the front entry..it is 8 ft high and then we added a plate rail above to the 10 ft ceilings.

This pretty lustreware bowl was another piece from my Mother's childhood and it was filled with apples on her Family dining room table. It reminds me of Fall so I usually bring it out to use this time of year.

These next photos are again from the front porch and I was lucky enough to be given the long photo from WW1 and the troup includes my Mother's father..my Grandfather.

This old wood walking stick was found in the garage of this home when we purchased it.

Thank you for coming to visit today..I hoped you enjoyed my Memories..

Blessing,

Wanda

What did Our Ancestors do for fun on a Fall evening..

Have you ever wondered what your Ancestors did after the sun went down on a Fall evening? Assuming they weren't too tired from the long day of gardening, harvesting and preparing for the next day ahead I am going to share with you what I believe took place in many farm houses across the country..

The fire would be lit and everyone would gather around and share their stories of the day..

Perhaps they had a little wooden box of Stereoscopic pictures for their Stereoscope viewer and it was brought out for all to enjoy...notice the labelling of the pictures in the lid of the box..

My great Grandparents adorn the space over the mantle

The first Stereoscope viewer was invented by Sir Charles Wheatsone in 1833 and would have brought many hours of pleasure for the Families who owned one..

Another pastime would have been curling up in front of the fire in a comfy chair and choosing a good book to read aloud to your Family or alone..

Quilting..needlework & knitting would have also been done by the Ladies of the house and the young girls would be taught by their Mother's or Grandmother's.

I must say the simpler things in life can bring us such joy. What do you like to do on a cool Fall evening?

Thank you for dropping in for a visit..take care!
