| Bowls on top of the cabinet |
In addition to a lot of BOOKS, we also have a lot of large mixing bowls. Whenever we see some vintage ones at a tag sale, or online, or a unique set at a retail store, we just can't resist getting them. We've tapered off the last couple of years, but we still have a surplus of bowls. Little did we know that we'd need them for the farm! So here are some vintage bowls on top of the cabinet on one side...

| More bowls on top of the other cabinet |
...and here are some nice white "hobnail" type bowls we found once upon a time on top of the other cabinet. I've promised 2nd Man a shelf that connects the two upper cabinets (over the sink window) so that he can have them lined up from side to side. That will be an upcoming project.

| Bowls in the hutch |
...and here are yet more in the yellow Nadeau hutch/buffet that we recently purchased. The green set is a vintage bowl in a beehive pattern, and the dark yellow is a great set of bowls that are new, I can't remember the maker, but the are called "farmhouse mixing bowls", which now, of course, seems so appropriate for our house.
We have A LOT more that will be making an appearance somewhere down the line, after I build the shelf over the sink...and we also now have a new rule,
NO MORE BOWLS*
NO MORE BOWLS*
*unless they are really cool, ha ha.
I guess having one of those bowls (one with blue stripe on the right) really dates me :o) I love working with it..makes me feel "country" :o) I've had it before my kids were teens, now they are getting into Senior territory:o).
ReplyDeleteGinny - Didn't mean to call you "vintage", LOL! Actually those striped bowls are some of our faves, they have such character and just look neat.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great collection. And now that you said no more bowls, there are going to be some wonderful finds in the future!

Don't resist--there's always room for just one more............
Sue - I kind of thought I might jinx us by saying no more bowls...now they will appear out of nowhere, LOL! You're right though, I suppose there is always room for "just one more".
