FREINDLY VILLAGE DISHES LOVE

LOVE DAY NUMBER 7

Morning Primfolk,  here we are half way of Cindi`s Whole Lotta Love chain, having fun reading other gals posts on what they love so much....................Another love of mine is the old Friendly Village dishes made by Johnson Brothers..............each dish has a differant  scene and I  just adore all the pieces of these wonderful old dishes.............I have been lucky enough to find  pieces  at Value Village for cheap, my Sister`s  have given me plates for presants, YEY!!!!   but have not seen any in a long time anywhere.........So I enjoy the pieces I have, and am always on the hunt to add more to my collection..........Blessings Francine.

LOVE DAY NUMBER 6

Greetings, hope you all have a good Wednesday................Will be a heartbreaking day for me, my girlfriend and her boys,  today is the funeral for her husband that was so suddenly taken from them,  but we shall  draw comfort and strength from the Heavenly Father..................................

Today is day 6th of Cindi`s Whole Lotta Love chain and keeping with the wood theme, another love of mine is old Butter molds and Butter paddles..........The molds come in so many differant patterns, from stars, to wheat, swans, such a great variety to choose from,  how sweet it was in those good old days to put a pretty pattern stamp on the butter, warms my heart...............love the wooden butter paddles to, some of the ones I bought  the wood is so smooth and worn down,  just the feel of it in my hand brings comfort to me.   How great it would have been to sit in the kitchen and watch the women folk of yesteryear use all the wonderful wooden pieces that so many of us treasure and collect these days.    Blessings Francine.

LOVE DAY NUMBER 5



Good Morning, Happy Tuesday to you all......................Today is my love of old worn wooden bowls and trenchers...... love the feel of the wood where many hands have held the bowl lovingly........I have some bowls that were fixed with whatever worked to hold the old bowl together to still use, metal, wire............the older, cracked the more dear to me......I love the aged look to the wood, it could tell a story I`m sure...........The long trencher I have is from Belgium, used to let the bread rise I was told in the antique store where I bought it, fell in love with it right then and there........The shorter one  has so many tiny holes in the bottom and the color of the wood is wonderful, all chipped and cracked,..............Two years ago Cam and I went to a yard sale in a small town held in a old store once apon a time, lots of neat old stuff, we had fun rummaging around,  then Cam holds up this beautiful big old  wooden bowl and says, Fran, look at this, well, I said to him, oh ya it`s coming home with me,  I asked the guy how much, the guy says, I can`t sell that,  it has a big crack down the middle, you can have it, GULP!!!!! be still my beating heart........that was the best day ever, came away with a great old bowl for free.................to this day  that bowl is one of my fav`s..................Prim Blessings Francine.

LOVE DAY NUMBER 3



Happy Sunday Morning, nothing differant in the weather today, freezing, wind chills once again, sure hope it`s warmer in your neck of the woods.................Day 3 of Cindi`s Whole Lotta love and another love of mine is enamelware, mostly the blue and white swirled but also love the plain white with black trim............Used to be able to find many pieces of enamel cheap but now it seems it has gone up in price and harder to find, around these parts anyway.........I love enamel even with big chips on it, makes me love it even more, if I find a piece  dented, chipped, it`s coming home with me, a real treasure.............Wishing you all a good day, Blessings Francine.
