This week's letter is "C" for Canister and sCoop and measuring Cup!
I have a lot of "go-alongs" that I use with my Fiesta collection, some are old, some
are new, but they all have a place in my kitchen.
This set of vintage canisters are milk glass with fired on colors believed to be made
by Anchor Hocking. The labels were not original to the set and were applied by a
former owner. At first I thought I would remove them, but I decided to leave them intact.
She must have used more sugar than flour ..... notice the sugar is the largest canister!
The scoops are both old and new. The small metal scoop with the wooden handle was
made by Mr. TLRT for his Mom in his 7th grade shop class. So sweet that I now have
it after she used it all those years in her kitchen. The layered multi-colored scoop came
from Home Goods, as did the cute set of melamine measuring "bowls" that range in
size from a 2 cup size down to 1/4 cup. They are very handy!
Thanks for stopping by again this week for Vintage Thingies Thursday

What fun, bright canisters!! And I really like your rainbow scoop! I have some wooden spoons like that.
ReplyDeleteI love the handmade scoop!
ReplyDeleteOh they're so pretty! I saw a set of 3 in that same green color yesterday, but passed them up in favor of a discounted Pyrex mixing bowl instead. I really like yours with the variety of colors- and that scoop looks like it was just MADE for them! Happy VTT!

ReplyDeleteHi...It’s Genie stopping by again to check out your post. Those canisters are so colorful and in such fine condition. I am glad you left the labels on them...they are charming, too. The old scoop is so neat...full of memories and sentimentality. Your post was most enjoyable to read and view.

ReplyDeletewhat a lovely set of jars . I seem to remember us having a set in my childhood
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those canisters. I am on the lookout for my own vintage set of canisters -- I might find something similar. And how very sweet that you get to use the scoop your man made when he was young. It has so much character too!
ReplyDeleteI love the canisters and scoops. I have a canister set from the 60's that match the bowls.Doylene
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased you enjoyed your visit to my blog and seeing my vintage canisters! Thanks for coming by again this week.
ReplyDeleteI saw a set of these canisters on eBay last week for around $60 ..... WOW ..... I can tell you I paid about $10 years ago in an antique mall in Ohio that I visited during a trip to Homer Laughlin China!
Thanks again for your lovely comments!

Oh my! I adore those cannister colors. I have a set of pyrex bowls in those colors.
ReplyDeleteYou have such amazing treasures and such an eye for collecting.
I always love visiting you just to 'wish' and 'imagine' what my kitchen could be if I would just put some effort into it.
Thanks for linking to Alphabe-Thursday.
