Miss Blossom tries out the front seat, she is wondering if she was a little too hasty~
sewing basket, books, chamber pot, pitcher and basin, all those letters from her sweetie~
the pinto beans are loaded onto the mule, those keep for a long time
the china is made of clay and then baked, the silverware is from copper wire, flattened and shaped~pretty crude but the best I could come up with~
wash board, oak buckets and tub, ironing board and iron, clothes pins, and everything a woman could ask for~I like washing clothes~ put them in and push the button~
everything from coffee grinder to butter mold. The knives have oak handles and all the metal parts are cut from a tin can~
the pans are made from lids, the cast iron skillet is carved from wood, the spoons were copper wire, flattened and shaped
Off to Oregon and their new life together~
I have enjoyed doing this blog on the wagon. Time to take it back to the Schleicher County Museum where they are kind enough to keep it for me.
I can’t believe I had never seen this wagon before your post this week it is amazing and so are your many talents.
Anna, I need to show you next time you come. It was so much fun to make. When I started I only planned to make the wagon, then all the other stuff just grew from there. I put ZZ’s Lasagna on today’s blog~
Oh my goodness, Rita, the detail on all the accessories is fantastic! It’s so much fun to look at them all, and I love that you tell how you made them — very creative “McGuyver’ing” on your part
. That is one full wagon!! Very nice that it’s kept on display at the museum.
Glenda, as always nice of you to comment. One day I will do a bog on our museum. It is neat and clean and has everything from thousands of marbles in huge jugs which a teacher collected, to a wooden leg. I know you are having a nice week~ Rita
