A Favorite Rerun

Hi, Everyone... I am sure this is going to be a fine day for ALL of us.... 

I have a lot to do today....just as I did YESTERDAY...
So, I've reached back in my POST ARCHIVES for a post about 
the BURLAP RUNNER I was blessed to win a few years ago.
I wanted to do a casual tablescape showing off my
BRAND NEW RUFFLED BURLAP TABLE RUNNER..
Isn't it a beauty !!!
**
I won this delightful runner from JENNIFER at THE OLD PAINTED COTTAGE....
but LAURIE from BELLA INSPIRATIONS is the talented lady that made the runner.
**

I decided to use a few of my vintage CROCKS..
Now, I just absolutely LOVE olden crocks...
well, they don't even HAVE to be olden...
A pretty crock will make me grin every single time !!
I think they look EXTRA good on my new BURLAP RUNNER...*BIG grin..being proud !

My good friend, AUDREY that owns the beautiful blog, TIMELESS TREASURES, also loves
CROCKS....and she has a wonderful collection.
When you go by to see her, would you kindly tell her bj said HEY ...?

*
I've had this stoneware pitcher so long, I can't even remember where I got it.
I've used it for iced tea, milk and lemonade...
but mostly, it sits on a dining room shelf....
JUST LOOKIN' GOOD !!
*

**
I've also had this bad boy for a number of years.
One of my favorites...
I wish I had another....ONE is NEVER enuf for me...greed, ya know!
**
My sweet AUNT LILLIAN gave me this olden pickling crock in 1960....
*
SHE said it was pretty old...         I said it was PRETTY !!


Aunt Lillian also gave me the two black pitchers....
*
I sure would rather have my sweet AUNT LILLIAN than all the treasures she gave  me. :(
She was so sweet to me...she didn't have children
 and my mom wrote in my baby book that she was "afraid Lillian is going to steal my baby girl."
:>)
Aunt Lillian had a fatal heart attack when she was 59 yrs old and we were all STUNNED.
This was many years ago and I am STILL stunned.















I'm constantly searching for more BUTTERMILK GOBLETS...
They must really have become SCARCE because I seldom find one..
I only have 3 and I need at least 3 more....so...I'll keep searching.






















Mr. Sweet made us a delicious garden salad with sliced STRAWBERRIES...a favorite..
*
Left over Easter ham, grilled with pineapple...

and our
BUTTERMILK GOBLETS
filled with
SWEET TEA...

    I also missed this post. I love burlap runners, especially with a ruffle. Nice with stoneware.

    Beautiful rerun! You do such a great job with the photographs. You know you always say that you are NOT a crafter but you are...you use beautiful things to craft vignettes that are just wonderful. Loving your runner. xo Diana

    And that was the day that I decided I had to have a burlap runner, too. It's still sitting in the sewing room waiting. And today I'm deciding that I need more crocks and some buttermilk goblets. Ha!

    bj, your pictures are wonderful, but I have to ask, 'buttermilk goblets'? I've never heard the term. Does it have some significance? Were they originally used for buttermilk, not tea or wine? Or possibly a teetotaler's term? They are beautiful.

    What a nice bit of family lore to know they're called "buttermilk goblets." Ours have always been known as "Mammaw glasses," for most of them WERE hers from the fifties, with just a little whisper of the gold rim left. The sandy-rough pattern on those is grape-and-vine, and the others I've accumulated along the way are a bit floral.

    With hers, there are a dozen now, so I KNOW they're out there. There was a matching pitcher, as well, but it fell victim to a hasty guest's "help" as she poured the hot tea directly into it over ice.

    Doesn't tea just taste better in these goblets?

    I just love the buttermilk goblets and I don't think I've heard that term before now. And I just decided, like Vee, that I needed some more crocks. I have a really large one, but not the smaller ones I could use on the table to hold flatware or flowers. Beautiful table setting!

    I have 4 or 5 of the buttermilk goblets and I have never heard that term. We drank ice tea (sweet, of course) out of the them. My grandmother gave them to me years ago and I really love them.

    Lovely settings that have inspired me to get my one & only crock down from the shelf & put it to use.

    You have made some beautiful changes to your blog...LOVE the newest header. Did you get a new camera, too??? Your photos seem much brighter, too. Well done!!

    fondly,
