Ruby Tuesday: Look What's In The Kitchen

It's time to post that photo with a little bit of red or a lot of red. Today I have a LOT of red. I took the following photos at Lehman's Store in Kidron, Ohio. The store was first started to serve local Amish and others without electricity. Lehman’s vision was to preserve the past for future generations.
Welcome to a 50's style kitchen. When I saw this I took pictures for my daughter who loves the fifties style of furniture. This set is certainly bright don't you think. The sliver of red you see beneath the red clock is a microwave oven - not very 50's.
Many old fashioned furnishings can be found in the store. There is a large selection of Country Primitive gifts, furniture, lighting, candles and other home decor. This family owned and operated business specializes in antique-styled appliances and retro home furnishings, non-electric kitchenware, old-time toys, hand tools, oil lamps, collectible cook books and much more.

Have a bright day!

"Show Me..." - Welcome To My Kitchen

Day two of Robert's "Show Me..." photo project was to post a picture centered around something in your kitchen. My favorite part of my kitchen is the glass door cabinets above.

I wasn't sure when I first moved in if I would like them. I'm just a cram things in and shut the door kind of girl and with these you have to be neat. I've come to like them a lot. I have put some of my most precious glass items on the shelves.

If you open the doors on the left you can see a glass dessert bowl set on the top shelf that my Mom's good friend gave me when I got married. Some of you will remember my Mickey Mouse cup from Project Black. The red bowl was given to me by my Grandpa when I was still young enough not to appreciate it so much but it has become one of my favorite possessions.

In the left side of the cabinet is a plate that is a Warren Kimble design that I picked up for under five dollars and didn't know until later it was a Kimble and a great deal. The compote dish is a twin to the one you saw in the left cabinet. They look a lot like carnival glass but I don't think they are. The swirled glass collection on the middle shelf is from Scotland. My Hubs used to travel to a submarine base there and would bring them back to me from his trips. In the bottom shelf is a glass coke bottle my brother found out hunting last fall. It is stamped on the bottom with my hometown's name. When I was very young there was a bottling company in the town where we grew up. It has been gone probably fifty years. It was quite a find that he knew I would appreciate.

A larger look of that end of the kitchen.

Look closely. I made chocolate chip cookies and a pot of fresh coffee for your visit.

Thanks so much for visiting today.
