Unpacking a Box
Yesterday I started to unpack one of my boxes as the box was far too big and the plan was to pack the contents into two smaller boxes. I had forgotten what was in the box and it was exciting rediscovering bits and bobs that were well wrapped. I was initially going to pack the contents into two separate boxes, but like most best laid plans of mice and men things changed and I am keeping the contents out for use over Christmas.
First out were some cut glass sherry schooners
Second two thernal pots brand new never used (told you all i was a squirrel) and I have decided to keep these out for use over Christmas for probably some really nice coffee. They are a pale blue which actually goes with a small blue flower in one of my dinner services, but that aside I think they will come in very useful in keeping things nice and warm over the seasonal festivities.
A square brown bag cookie dish and brown bag cookie moulds (several) see separate post
8 dishes think you call them gratin dishes like the ones above
10 Ramekins - these are always useful for making chocolate mousse or any other individual pud
12 corn on the cob holders (we are rather partial to corn this way)
2 baking sheets
A breafast trio for marmalade jam and honey and a large porcelain fish pate/mousse dish
My old brown glass vinegar bottle
A pretty striped batter bowl
3 miniature matching picture frames
2 Art Nouveau picture individual tea trays
4 egg cups
6 tablemats
6 coasters
2 standing mats
6 China mugs
Catch you soon

ReplyDeleteIt sounds like Christmas already!
ReplyDeleteSime's always sorting out his hoarde & finding things he's forgotten about, he's definitely a squirrel & it drives me mad!

Hi Anne
ReplyDeleteYes it was a very big box! One of several, but it was fun rediscovering what was in it. Now I just need to find home for it all! Hope you and Edwin are keeping well. Look after yourselves and take care.
