Vintage Farmhouse Kitchenware

I collect collections.

I do. 

When people ask me what I collect, and just say “stuff.”

There is no way they would remotely believe me if I said

“anything I can.”  

🙂

I particularly love anything vintage. Particularly, anything

vintage for the kitchen. My Farmhouse Style Kitchen allows

me to display many of these items I collect, but I also enjoy

putting many of them to use in various ways.  I thought I

would share a few of my vintage items and how I put them

to use. 

Vintage Farmhouse Kitchenware

 

I fell in love with vintage Kitchenware when I was a young

wife and my Mama gave me several of my grandmother’s cast

iron skillets.  She also gave me her grater, which I still have and

use today.  It’s old and rusty, and I don’t feel it’s safe to use with

food, but I put it to another good use. 

It acts as a nightlight in my Kitchen and adds ambiance to the

room when we are entertaining.  I simply add a small glass enclosed

candle inside, and it gives off the softest glow.

 

I also have a vintage sifter that was my Mother’s.  She was going

to throw it away years ago when she replaced hers, and I had a fit.  

I snapped it up, much to her dismay.  She said “it’s too old to use.”  

Then she thought a second and said, “well, I guess I am, too, but I

ain’t ready to be thrown away, either. ”   😛 

I like to use it to grow various herbs.  Because it has a wire

mesh center, it allows me to easily water the plants as needed.

 I just place the whole container in my kitchen sink and give it

a good drink, and the water is quick to drain through. 

Here are a few more of some of the many vintage Kitchenware

items I have…

At front is one of the smaller cast iron skillets I own.  This size

if perfect for serving melted butter, and I love using it for warm dips.

 I place the skillet right on a large, wood cutting board surrounded

by crusty bread slices.  

In the back, you can see one of my collection of vintage kitchen scales.  

I used another scale during my Farmhouse Spring Tour to hold

a candle and some speckled eggs. 

 

One of the things I have recently added to my kitchen, which

is not vintage but looks old, is a One-Gallon Utensil Crock. 

I was having a hard time finding (or affording) an actual

vintage crock large enough to hold my huge collection of

Kitchen Utensils (another collection – haha).  So I did some

research on Amazon and found this beauty.

Finally, one of my very favorite pieces… a blue and white

enamel colander.  I can’t tell you where I found it or even how

long I have had it.  It seems to have always been part of my

kitchen, no matter where we lived.

I love the chippiness of it.  I use it often.  Remember when I

used it as a Succulent Container? 

 

Today, I made a fresh batch of Freezer Strawberry Jam.  Our

berries are just starting to come in season and I am soooo excited. 

 

So, as you see, some of my collection has a utility other than being

awesome and pretty to look at.   🙂

And when they hold something as delicious as these little nuggets

of goodness… well, how can that be a bad thing?

 

Thank you for letting me share some of my

Vintage Farmhouse Kitchenware with you.
