This, That and The Other Thing

Good evening everybody and welcome Through My Back Door. This is a little about this, that and the other thing. It is cool here in East Tennessee and a little rainy, but that can't put a cloud on the things going on Through This Back Door. We are so happy to have welcomed a little Great Granddaughter into this world on Tuesday. We have been waiting on her for a long time. Her name is Mollie and she is Andrews baby sister. I will post pictures later.

On Monday I went over to my friend Carols for lunch. We ate homemade soup out of the pumpkin bowls. We also had pimento cheese sandwiches and homemade pecan pie. Yum. It was so good. Debbie calls Carol my kindred spirit. We have been friends for over 30 years. This is her house all dressed for fall.  She has a wonderful house and some of you will recognize it from being in Country Sampler 2010 HomeTours this year. The fun thing we did after we ate was tie our ornaments we made back in July for our Christmas tree.(Remember last time I told you Christmas is coming Through My Back Door) I hope you enjoyed our little road trip, out and Through My Back Door. Carol has a wonderful home and I love going there. I bet you did too.

Well that was that and this is the other thing.  I thought I would share a few  butterchurns with you. I used to have more but downsized a little bit. This glass churn was my maternal grandmothers and I am so glad I have it . The blue Dazey churn is dated 1917 and I love the color.

This cedar churn was made by a cooper from Hancock County, Tn and is signed, Henry Spurgeon, 86 years old 1986. A friends father cut the cedar and gave it to him to make it for me. I truly love this churn. By the way that is my grandma's bonnet and apron on the chair. Also the chair was made by my maternal grandfathers great grandfather for his wife.

 This churn is from Sevier County, Tn and was given to me by mother many years ago. The dasher was made by paternal grandfather and the lid by my husbands grandfather in 1940. It is special in a lot of ways. Well we have covered a little bit of this, that, and the other thing today. Tomorrow all the fall decorations are going out and the Christmas is coming in. When I invite you Through My Back Door again it will have a completely different look.I can't wait until you come again Through My Back Door where life is good.

Only 12 more followers and I will do the giveaway. If it happens before Christmas we'll do a Christmas one! Thanks to each and everyone of you who follow this little blog. Again I am humbled.
