A Touch of Old to Brighten Up My Kitchen

I blame this all on Jaz at Octoberfarm. She is a bad influence on me and has caused me to pick up a very old habit of visiting Thrift Stores. I have wanted a butter churn for a long time to go along with my scrub board, spinning wheel, etc. In my little visit, this morning, I saw two free-standing butter churns with beautiful floral decorations. When I asked if they were real, the owner said no, they were reproductions. Well, I didn't want reproductions, so I moved on and -- THERE, IN THE CORNER, was this:

a beautiful table model hand-cranking butter paddle churn! Yes. And, it works, too! Not that I'm going to start churning my own butter, but I do like my antiques to work. I'm so tickled. I really am. So, I guess I owe Jaz a big THANK YOU for leading me back down the road to thrift shops. My daughter's going to just love it when she has to settle my estate.
