Vintage Thingies 22

It has been a couple of weeks since my last vintage post, so it was time to pick up the camera, empty one cupboard, wash every item in it and the cupboard too, and take pictures. I was surprised to notice I had taken 70 pictures, but now I have a nice little stash of unpublished Thursday treasures for weeks to come.


Suzanne at Coloradolady is hosting this fun. She is having a 200th post giveaway also, so be sure to comment on her blog. She has given very easy instructions on how to participate, if you have something you would like to show us all.



This week I'm showing you two old jugs. The first one is in terrible state, but I love it. My grandmother had a similar jug in green, one size bigger than this yellow girl, and we used to have vanilla custard in it for pies or baked apples. She also had a small red girl for coffee cream. I vaguely remember they had polka dots on their skirts.

Our yellow Dutch girl jug was used for soaking paint brushes. When I found it in the tool shed, it was half full of sticky black fluid and some dry paint brushes. The edges are all chipped, and the inside is stained, the colours have faded, but I still love this piece.

The handle is her braided hair.

I wanted you to see I have a pretty jug, too:

This is a milk jug. I could use it as a vase, but I think the flowers on the jug would compete with the flowers in the jug.

This was all for this week. Go and visit all the blogs you find on the link list on Suzanne's blog. You may very probably find something you really like.
