My antiques

I am not typically a person who goes crazy over antiques, but when Mom moved and we cleaned out the house, I was glad to inherit a few.  These pictures are for you, Mom.

The popcorn popper was a gift given to my parents in the late 60's.

I remember using this butter churn during a time when we were getting milk from a farm and had lots of cream.

The cans and some of the glass bottles were treasures found.

Apple peeler, retro nut chopper, and old crock

Old iron (Mom thinks dad found this at the dump.  It's in perfect shape!)

Doll quilt pieced by my Grandma (Barbara) Helmuth and quilted by Aunt Alice (we think.)

The sewing machine, used to sew boots/shoes, is something we got about a year ago from Lyn's Uncle Benny.  It had been Lyn's grandfather's (William A. Byler) at one time.  We sandblasted and spray painted the base this summer.  The machine was pretty rusty, but machine oil and a rag spruced it up amazingly well.

I am happy to have found a place in my house for these things!
