Keeping good on a promise I made to myself as a child, I never pass up a lemonade stand. The entrepreneur in me surfaced early in life and each summer I put up my stand and waited for customers. Where we lived, the customers were few and far between, but it was a real thrill when someone did stop. With the heat of summer upon us, I keep snatching up cute little pitchers at estate sales. As with most of my finds, I am attracted to them for some nostalgic memory they provide. This little guy might have brought me luck at my lemonade stand.
And this little hobnail milk glass pitcher reminds me of summers visiting my grandmother. A pitcher of milk and hot buttered toast fresh out of the toaster was our favorite snack.
Do you have any items that bring back special summer memories?

Your hobnail milk pitcher is adorable. My grandmother had several hobnail pieces...wondered what happened to them?
ReplyDeleteMy children would get so excited when a kind hearted soul would stop and buy lemonade from their stand. I must remember to stop the next time I see children selling some lemonade on the street corner. Your pitchers are very sweet.
ReplyDeleteI love the milk glass; it reminds me of my mom. I love cranberry glass; I wish I had some.
ReplyDeleteMy grandparents had a Bait and Tackle store when I was a child and I can remember setting up my little lemonade stand in the front of their store. Great memories!
ReplyDeleteThe hobnail one is amazing! Great shape on it too.
ReplyDeletei am crushing on ur milk glass pitcher!
ReplyDeleteLove the pitchers. I keep saying no to my daughter about setting up a lemonade stand. Now I feel guilty. ;) Lemonade itself reminds me of summer and reading books at the cottage while sipping lemonade.
