But we also have 4 cast iron kettles. These were once used to make lard. Now they just look pretty with all the flowers.  |
Wow, that's a great inheritance. A real treasure. Not just because of their practical value, but because they are things that were such a big part of your grandmother's life. I have a few things that belonged to my Alabama grandfather--things that he used in his "shop" (personal workshop). I would never part with any of them, because of their sentimental value to me.
I'm not advocating this, but I've heard that some of those iron items are also good for clobbering your husband over the head with, when he gets out of line. hahahaha. Along with your basic rolling pin. ha.
