A Round Dough Bowl

"Junk is the ideal product...the ultimate merchandise..."
-Burroughs


I have been trying to find a round wooden dough bowl with in my price range for about a year now. Although small cracks and small holes do not necessarily depreciate the value of the bowls since these items were made to be used while homemaking, I won't buy them if they do. I am picky when it comes to buying old Primitives.

Instant Love! No holes, no cracks, and a beautiful color. It is round too! It is definitly old probably from the 1920s or more. The ridges are uneven which totally makes me laugh because it is definitly not a reproduction. It is just perfect for my table. Now what do I put in it? I am thinking colored glass balls to match my pillows.(Note to self: Use a bread twist to hide those cords!)

    Oh I have caught up once again on your last several posts...

    Your bowl...so pretty....patience paid off in waiting for the best one to come your way.

    I remember doing leather crafts with my Grandfather when I was your daughters age. I still have a little leather bracelet that was like a tiny coin purse and could hold about the size of a quarter :)

    Now what would have the sewing table held originally? Being one who loves to sew, I love finding old sewing goodies such as that...I have not seen anything like that before!!

    Have a blessed weekend.
