One of my many collections is my collection of pot holders. The prettiest ones are not actually used but I hang them in the kitchen so I can look at them. I had these crocheted ones ( thrift store... I can't crochet). I love the pink rose in the middle of each one. But it was time to look in my box for something different. Too early for Fall colours so I settled on.....
..this one
...and the Lady Bug one. The colours don't go together but the style is the same. Someone spent time making these. probably for gifts that ended up in the thrift store.
My bit of trivia found on the internet: On July 25, 2019 (today) people born on August 22, 1945 will be 27,000 days old. Isn't that amazing? I am 27,000 days old.
I'm still waiting for help in retrieving my widget.
Thanks for visiting,

I'm glad that the potholders have found a home where they are loved and appreciated. The ones in your first photo are so pretty. I once had a collection of similar ones in peach and blue tones. I had them hung on the soffit in my kitchen.
ReplyDeleteYou have got some pretty potholders.
ReplyDeleteI am partial to the last two...
ReplyDeleteOh I love your pot holders GM...especially the crochet ones. I wish I could crochet too
ReplyDeleteAre you saying that its your birthday?? If it is.. Happy Birthday!! and heres to the next couple of thousand days x
It is so fun to have different things for decoration! How neat about the 27,000 days old! And that you are! I feel like Congratulating you on this! And in August on your birthday! ❤🥰😊
ReplyDeleteA box of beautiful potholders! What a neat thing to collect! Those two you picked to hang are so cute... the one looks like a flower bud, and that *ladybug* is brilliant!
ReplyDelete27,000 days really makes it sound like a lot, doesn't it! So, your birthday was yesterday? Or it's in August? LOL sorry, my allergies/cold/whatever isn't letting my brain work. :P
Blessings, G.M. ! ♥
Yes, that is amazing. Who figures out these things that simply blow my mind? :) I've never seen such pretty potholders. I have such ugly potholders that stay in the dish towel drawer by the stove. Sometimes I get all of them and throw them in the washer. But that doesn't help the looks much.
ReplyDeleteI have my old, very used looking ones too. The pretty ones are just for display.
DeleteI like the idea of a collection of pot holders. Think you have started me on a new collection. I have two already hanging in my kitchen that I don't use that were woven on a loom.
ReplyDeleteYours are lovely.
I love those pot holders and the way you seasonally theme them, what a great collection.
ReplyDeleteI like the crocheted potholders. A lot of work!
ReplyDeleteLove them..I have a few crochet ones that I made, I don't use them. They are for pretty. I keep mine in a pretty box too.
ReplyDeleteits certainly worth a try. The worst thing that could happen. I'll have a few extra beeswax candles to burn. Granny Marigold you are so right, that smell is lovely, and it would make a lovely sachet for the drawer, bees wax is good for skin I've read humectant ( moisture). I've got a blog site up for the candles. not running yet though, I have a few particulars to hammer out. Thanks for stopping over. Did you try ask blogger for help about the gadget thing?
My DIL was able to help. She has had to rescue me more than a few times when I've "pressed the wrong key".
