Vintage Electric Porcelain Tea Pot

I bought this because when I pick it up I thought it was just a tea pot,but  I took off the lid I saw the heating element and thought it was very interesting.  Unfortunately, there was no cord with it. I don't have any history on the date of this piece.  If anyone has information I would love to hear from you.

2. Mix butter, onion and garlic. Brush mixture on eggplant sticks

3. Broil eggplant about 5 - 7 mins. Turn. Brush with butter and broil an additional 5 mins longer.

Daylight Savings Time ~ Spring Ahead

Don't forget this week end is day light savings time! 

During his time as an American envoy to France, Benjamin Franklin, author of the proverb,

 "Early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise",

anonymously published a letter suggesting that Parisians, economize on candles

by rising earlier to use morning sunlight.

 This 1784 satire proposed taxing shutters, rationing candles, and waking the public by

ringing church bells and firing cannons at sunrise,

 Franklin did not propose DST

Wow, I don't even like the sound of my alarm!

1918 was the first year that the US changed it's clocks for daylight savings time.

March is Women's History Month

In the United States, March is Women's History Month, a time for celebrating the diverse and historic accomplishments of women.

During World War II, some 350,000 women served in the U.S. Armed Forces, both at home and abroad. They included the Women's Airforce Service Pilots, who on March 10, 2010, were awarded the prestigious Congressional Gold Medal. Meanwhile, widespread male enlistment left gaping holes in the industrial labor force. Between 1940 and 1945, the female percentage of the U.S. workforce increased from 27 percent to nearly 37 percent, and by 1945 nearly one out of every four married women worked outside the home.

How - To Remove Stains from your CORNING WARE

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Rubber gloves
• Newspaper
• Oven cleaner
• Trash bag
• Dish pan
• 1/4 cup white vinegar
• 1 tsp. hand dishwashing liquid
• Dish scrubber
• Kitchen towel

1. Rubber gloves protect your skin from chemicals.
   Place rubber gloves on your hands to protect your skin from any chemicals. Open windows or turn on a ventilation fan in the kitchen to keep fresh air in the room during the stain-removal process.
2. Set your stained Corning Ware on some old newspaper on a flat work surface. Coat your Corning Ware with oven cleaner. Place the Corning Ware in a trash bag and seal the bag.
3. Leave your Corning Ware sealed in the trash bag overnight. The oven cleaner breaks down and loosens the stains during this time, making them easier to remove.
4. Take the sealed bag with the stained Corning Ware inside outdoors. Remove the Corning Ware from the trash bag and set it in a dish pan of hot water.
5. Add 1/4 cup white vinegar and 1 teaspoon hand dishwashing liquid to the hot water in the dish pan. Scrub the Corning Ware with a dish scrubber to remove the stains loosened by the oven cleaner.
6.

   Rinse well to remove all chemical cleaning agents from the stained baking dish.
   Rinse your Corning Ware with plain water and dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Vintage Piano Sheet Music, 1902

Benj. Richmond, Australian composer of "Dance of the Song Bird" (photo on left), I came across another piece of his work,  this 1902 "Dance of the Honey Bees" piano sheet music. Published by Willis Woodward in 1902. This is music for the piano and a fabulous piece of history.
I looked for a few hours but couldn't find any real history on Benj. Richmond, just that he was an Australian Composer.  I wish I played so I could hear what I was looking at!

Early American Pewter Cup/Chalice/Goblet, Wallingford, Connecticut

During the nineteenth century, Wallingford industry expanded with a considerable concentration of small pewter and Britannia ware manufacturers. By mid-century, Robert Wallace acquired the formula for nickel silver and established with Samuel Simpson, R. Wallace & Company the forerunner of Wallace Silversmiths. It was also during this period that many of the small silver and Britannia plants were combined to form the International Silver Company with its headquarters in Meriden,CT and several plants in Wallingford, CT.
Early American pewter is noted for its simplicity of style.

The bottom of this cup/goblet/chalice is marked Pewterers, Wallingford, Conn, with the initials, KB in the center.

Fire King Philbe Depression Glass ~ A bit of History

I found this beautiful piece marked FIRE KING OVEN GLASS.  I had to do quite a bit of hunting to find out exactly what I had found. Fire King Philbe Depression Glass, which was made for two years only 1937 & 1938.  Blue, Green, Pink and Clear.  Holding this piece in front of me I thought I had found a Clear piece,
but then noticed at different angles, it did indeed have a blue tint (which you can see in the photos).

Good Morning!

Hi, my husband and I went out treasure hunting over the week end and discover a whole new area of SC, farm country!  We drove forever and got lost.  We were out hoping  to find a tag sale. 

There were no tags sales but, what we did find was miles and miles of Picking territory!

Within the next few weekends we are going to bring some money and actually knock on some doors and ask if we can Pick!   Beautiful old abandon barns, sheds, back yards filled with numerous treasrues.

So, after our hunt I will let you know how it went.  Hopefully we won't get shot!
