I don't think I showed you these sugar holders that I picked up over the winter. I suspect they were produced in the 60s or 70s.
Yesterday was the first day of Niobe's hols so we had an "us day". This usually involves Niobe making a cake and me clearing up after her. No change there then. The sugar packaging made me look at my containers and note a certain simialarity of style...
Turned it round and noticed the command on the back
And so we shall!
We'll skate over the things that went wrong: - the fact that by insisting we went to the wool shop before we went to the river and by having to do a detour to pick the petrol I had forgotten (don't you just hate when that happens - that sick feeling in the pit of your stomach as your realise you have the wrong shoes on for walking anywhere to get help) I made us miss the pub lunch we had built ourselves up to...
Fortunately I had with me a bowl of strawberries and the picnic blanket so we lazed by the river under a cloudless blue sky... (as I tested her on her driving theory - maybe I should have left it at the dot, dot, dot!)
Have a great weekend!
Wend
Wish I had a daughter; although I love dearly my WSD (Wicked step-daughter). She always says I'm her Wicked (as in Wickkeddd) Step- Mum. LLX

ReplyDeleteI've been hankering after one of these sugar storage jars for a while now, so congrats on your lucky and lovely finds.
ReplyDeleteI love those sugar storage jars! So fun and graphic - would really brighten up a plain kitchen - your cake looks scrumptious - dripping with sugary icing!
ReplyDeleteIts funny, but those storage jars look quite modern as that kind of design is now all coming back again. They are lovely. Sounds like you enjoyed your day, anyway!
ReplyDeleteLovely to meet you at Hope & Elvis - I wish she was a wee bit closer ....
ReplyDeleteThose jars were a real find, weren't they!
