Mary, Bonnie, Shirley and myself went through a lot of Grandma's belongings on Sunday and cleaned out a lot of her things. But, there is still a decent amount of things left. Here are some of the remaining items. If you want any of them, let me know. Otherwise we will try to sell them on a local garage sale site on Facebook or EBay. If you click on the picture, it will show in a bigger size.
Wool Rest for a Full-sized Bed
4 chairs. On 1 of them the back is alittle wobbly but otherwise considering they are who knows how old, they are in pretty good shape. They'd actually probably look beautiful refinished.

For some reason Grandma and Grandpa had a couple different sets of fancier China. Most of these are close to a complete set but might be missing a plate or cup etc. If you are interested in any of these, let me know and I can get you the exact counts of that set if you need it. Some where a 10 count set, one was a 12ish count set and most included the plates, dessert plates, cups, serving platter.
Plate design #1
Plate design #2
Plate design #3
Plate design #4
Plate design #5 - these were her every-day dishes (not a full set)
She had about 6? of these leaf glasses
Misc. Tupperware w/ lids. Large container and large green bowl.
Wishing Well plant stand. Grandpa gave this to Grandma. A plant can sit in the circular brick looking thing and then a plant can hang from that piece sticking out on the handle.
Misc. - roasters, Tupperware, glass serving plates
Lamp.
close up pic. Which one of us wants to claim coloring on the lamp!!!??? With a paint job it would probably look fine.
TV Stand. I 'think' she had this in her bedroom in the trailer to hold her little TV.
End table from her living room.
Misc. towels...mostly pink and white. Bath towels (not the big ones), hand towels and wash clothes.
Plant stand. I 'think' the "adults" gave this to Grandma for Christmas within the past 10ish years.
I know you all remember this! Kay, Danny and Amy are the ones who have/had pictures in this. It's alittle wobbly where the screws are on the top. Kinda a weird little plant holder but hey, I know we all probably have a memory of spinning this thing round and round.
Misc. bowls.
If any of this stuff peaks your interest and you'd like any of it or want more info or counts on it post a comment in the blog. First come first serve basis.
Rachel, I don't want the plant stand, but I do remember that the "adults" (our parents) gave this to Grandma for Christmas, like you said. I remember they had to put it together. I think it was more than 10 years ago, though. I'm almost certain it was in the trailer house, but it was a long time, possibly before Keith and I got married 12 years ago.
ReplyDeleteI don't need the china, but I am considering taking a set. I love old heirlooms, and possibly Peytra would like to have it when she grows up. I would be willing to save it for that possibility rather than giving it away. I guess I like the first set pictured if you want to set it aside for us.
Actually, I kind of like design #2 better, but whichever is in better shape - #1 or #2.
ReplyDeleteI'd actually use the china on Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI might be interested in those oval dishes in the last picture.
ReplyDeleteI also like the china in picture number 3, but don't think I would ever use them (at least not for a while). Just something I think would be nice to have in later years.
I'll take the chairs.
ReplyDeleteCommenting for Shirley:
ReplyDeleteShe will take the End Table
I like the bowls in the last picture, too. Holly, maybe we could split them?
ReplyDelete-Gina
Gina, that sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteIf you split the bowls, they will never be able to hold anything. Maybe you should just each take half of them.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, Chris.
ReplyDeleteOk everyone I have a few picks from non-blog commenting people too so I will update this whole thing tonight and let you know who has what and what is still available.
