It has this great pull out surface (does that have a name?!?)....
And these deep, deep drawers.....
My MIL was told it is a baking table. If anyone knows anything about this type of table, please let me know. I am absolutely in love with it and I'd love to know some history. I am so happy to have it!
We placed the duckling order. I am still in a bit of disbelief for some reason. We got done and I said "I can't believe we just ordered 15 ducklings!!!" We have everything ready for them, even feed. They confirmed our order and gave me a ship date of April 13, so we should have them probably April 14th or 15th. We were in the farm store over the weekend and the kids were begging to bring home a chick or a duckling. It was hard to say no, they are so darn cute (the chicks and the kids!) but we managed. Our little flock will be here soon enough.
We also made a trip to the neighboring Amish community over the weekend. I put the camera by my purse and then forgot to take it, so no pictures. We had a great time just driving around and seeing the homesteads and the horse and buggys all over the place. We all love the first horse and buggy sign we see on the way in to let us know we are almost there...
We mostly went just to get out of the house for a bit and I wanted to go to their bulk grocery store. I bought bulk yeast, bulk pectin, several bulk spices, several food service quality big stainless steel spoons. (The ones I have either rust or fall apart. One new spoon, the spoon part literally fell into the spaghetti sauce as I was stirring! Hopefully these ones will be sturdier) I also bought a new wooden rolling pin...my old one has only had one handle for years now and is a pain to use. I plan to repurpose it, to make newspaper pots like this thing does...
Well the wood stoves need tending and hubby is out of town so I better go get them filled and head to bed. It has been a long day. Oh, one more thing, the younger two kids had dentist appointments and NO CAVATIES!! Hooray!
Have a good night, don't let the bed bugs bite! :)
very awesome table jennifer! i don't know either, but i suspect it is a bakers table also. very cool! looks like kitty cat like its also!lol good news, no cavities!lol great idea for the new use for the rolling pin! do post about how you liked using it for this new purpose. i have been eyeing that contraption to make the newspaper pots also, and i too have a one handled rolling pin i could use instead!lol funny you should mention going to stock up at the amish place. my brother and i are planning a journey to our local amish bakery to do the same thing today! your kids are going to be so in love with the little ducks when they arrive!can't wait for the pics! thanks for sharing sweetie and congratulations on all the "new" furniture! big hugs to you and the kids!:)
ReplyDeleteOOOO! Beautiful table! It is a baker's table. The big drawers were used to hold flours (and sugar if you had any). The pull out would drop the table level & allow you to use it as a cutting board. That way you wouldn't scarr the top of the table.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog, & think its great!
