My birthday gift……

 

Hello friends!

Hope your week is off to a fabulous start?

My husband and I went to the

Bottoms Up Market on Friday in KC.

The market is held in an old industrial building and

is four floors of pure fabulousness!!!!

One of the treasures I found

was this antique French bottle drying rack.

My sweet hubby bought it for me as an early birthday gift.

Copper bed warmer…..

A few weeks ago I

found this antique copper bed warmer

at an antique mall.

I have always wanted one and was so excited to finally

find one at a price I could afford.

-------

I had the perfect spot in mind for it……

the master bedroom.

The detailing on the front is so pretty too!

The history behind the bed warmer:

Copper bed warmers were

once a common household item in countries

with cold winters, especially Europe.

It consisted of a metal container, usually fitted with a handle and

shaped somewhat like a modern

frying pan with a solid or finely perforated lid.

The pan would be filled with hot coals

and placed under the covers of a bed, to warm it up and/or

dry it out before use.

A Sunday ride in the country side……

 

Since it was such a beautiful spring

day yesterday we

decided to take a ride in the country.

We drove past this beautiful house from the 1800’s…..

It has many outbuildings including

a smoke house

and a summer kitchen!
