Got to do some rearranging in my farmhouse pantry last night. Hubby calls it, "playing house" when I do this- LOL! I edited the 1920's cook stove that I used to have in there and replaced it with an old farm table . Instead of "modernizing," I keep trying to go back in time! I swear I must have lived in a previous century, because I feel most at home with possessions from an earlier time. I must admit, though, I do appreciate indoor plumbing and electricity!
This is our little shelving pantry that was a closet in a previous owner's lifetime. The barn-board panels on the walls were old siding boards off the farmhouse where I grew up on Fail Road.
I love my little grey painted pie safe in which I keep canned goods. Bought it from my friend Deb at one of my shows. The Blue Bird pie rack on top even has a couple Blue Bird pie tins displayed on it.
Got the barn-board shelving at a Shipshewana auction years ago, and I still love it. Found the screen-sided single-door cupboard at the Main Street Antique Mall in Niles,
Michigan.
Here's proof that I actually do use my food dehydrator to dry food occasionally instead of only tea-dyed crafting projects! These are the Roma tomatoes I talked about in yesterday's blog.
Guess where I stash my plastic grocery sacks........ in the huge tin flour sifter mounted to the wall! The towel with red turkey- work embroidery is an heirloom my mom brought back from family in Czechoslovakia when she and Dad visited many years ago.
And that concludes today's tour of my pantry- thanks for coming along!
