A bad back is keeping me away from the computer {I suspect the scrubbing and painting of the living room and dining room may have something to do with it}, so I will just share some pictures of this old tag sale bread box.
It has been in sad shape in the basement for years--I finally decided that if I wasn't going to use it 'as is', I may as well paint it white...I think it will work out nicely :)
I love the little star and moon-shaped air holes on the sides...
Deb, it is so pretty and functionaly.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better...back pain takes a bit to go away. Rest :)
blessings,

I love the bread box. It is so pretty. I understand about that back pain. My Mom has had a terrible time with hers. I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very charming - do you actually keep bread in it? Or something else?

Sa-weet! I had one similar years ago, but it was too rusty to use for food. Must look for another this summer!
ReplyDeleteDeb, I wanted to tell you I started my first petal dishcloth (from your post in October 2008 I believe) and am having such fun watching it go together. A few new knitting skills for me as I work through it, yet very satisfying to see it shape up, literally, on the needles. I'm so enjoying coming here for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Please forgive me for neglecting to say I so hope your back heals quickly. There's nothing quite so frustrating as having a sore back that keeps you from what you want to be about.
ReplyDeleteSo purty! Hope your back mends soon!
ReplyDeleteDeb, I just discovered your blog and it is beautiful. I think I may have to get myself a bread box as well...
ReplyDeleteYou know the best thing for that back is bed rest.I hope you're doing that.We surely wouldn't know what to do without your post.
ReplyDeleteI love it in white! I have a similar one with the original geranium print on it. I used it to keep my rarely-used roll of paper towels in...fits perfectly in the bottom section. I don't have to look at the roll, and if they're not in plain view, my family will remember to reach for the cloth towel instead.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog. Hope you're feeling better.
oh I love it! :) It looks fantastic! :)
ReplyDeleteI love it. I found one shaped just like it but with different colors and patterns while I was in Vermont last summer.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great in your kitchen. Take it easy with your back. Anything you don't get to do today will always be there when you're well again.
ReplyDeleteThe bread box is perfect! Simplicity is best!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely adorable. Makes me want to bake a fresh loaf to pop in it!
ReplyDeleteits so cute
ReplyDeleteDeb,
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome find! It looks so cute :) Perfect. Now I want one :)
The while paint did the trick. It is just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI can sympatize about the back and am sorry yours is bothering you. The minute I do something the least bit strenuous, I spend the next day paying for it. Rest is good!
Just discovered your lovely blog,love the breadbin.Sorry about you back hope your better soon x
ReplyDeleteLove the bread box! Cute coasters, too...blessings, pam
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain back wise, hope you feel better soon. Nice job on the bread box, it's so sweet and fresh looking. Be proud that you have reclaimed something and made it useful :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely bread box. I hope that your back is better.
ReplyDeleteHi~~I just wanted to drop in and let you know that I've enjoyed my recent visits to your lovely blog.
ReplyDeleteCome see me when you can!
I really love the bread box, I am glad you were able to bring it from sad to glad with a lick of paint.
ReplyDeleteI hope your back heals quickly and gives you no more pain.
Happy Easter
my mom has those same bowls. and, I love the bread box.
ReplyDeleteI have that same bread box! It was my grandpa's, I inherited it after he died at the age of 104. Someone had painted it an awful coral pink, and did a terrible job of painting it! I stripped off the pink but have never repainted it, it's been in our kitchen ever since.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling better soon.
I like this!
