Wisconsin Souvenir Cream & Sugar Set |
This is a really fun vintage sugar and creamer set that is advertising the beautiful state of Wisconsin. It has a deer and fish on the front surrounded by maple leaves. On the back of each container is a Native American Indian Chief. The lettering and handles are done in a stylized rope decoration. These are not marked, but from my research I believe they were made in Japan and are from the 60's. I think they have a very fall/cabin theme look about them. I just love the warm brown glaze. They are sitting on one of my own vintage tablecloths which is a brick and ivy pattern from the 50's.

Linoleum Block Print |
This cookbook is by the Bethlehem Lutheran Church Women of Grand Marais, Minnesota. Not only does this cookbook contain wonderful recipes, it is also a work of art. The title of the book is North Shore Cookery. This softcover book was published in 1970 with 47 pages. It includes six pages of linoleum block print images by John A. Spelman III.
Born in 1912, Minnesota artist John Adams Spelman III was known for
linoleum-block prints. Spelman attended Black Mountain College in 1936,
the Farm School at Swannanoa (Warren Wilson College) and Pine Mountain
Settlement School in Kentucky. In 1939 Spelman published a collection of
linoleum prints about rural Appalachia called “At Home in the Hills: A
Cross Section of Harlan County, Kentucky.” Spelman also illustrated the
book “The Kentucky” for Thomas D. Clark in 1942.

"A slice of bread with butter on't
May feed a King;
A biscuit with a crust upon't
Is comforting;
The every day necessities no doubt,
Are those which none of us
Can do without."
Do any of these items bring back memories for you? Some of them do for me and some I just find to be so much fun to learn about. I enjoy so many of the older items because it is a fascinating step back into history.
Update: This cookbook sold, but check my store for more items.
Have a great day ~ Diane
