What's your best flea market score? Mine: a replacement Tupperware handle for my mother-in-law's cake holder. 😭

Poor Emmy! We all have days like that, you displayed so much grace and patience throughout it all though and I know we can’t all say that about ourselves! You are so completely lovely, inside and out! ❤ Thank you for being you… and for sharing yourself with the world!

The little plate you used for butter it was actually originally for salt. Everybody got their own little salt at each place setting

What a day!😅 I love old kitchen gadgets. I have several that I have had since they were new. Now they are close to being antique. But, then again, so am I.😂

Hi Emmy, My dad was a milkman when I was a kid. This brought back those memories. Our milk was left in our milk box outside. If it was in the winter, many times the cream would freeze up and push out the paper cap that contained the milk to the bottle. Oh but it tasted so good. Hugs and blessings

I am so sorry you are having a rough day. I guess we all have those every now and then. My daughter just started high school today she is a freshman. I can't believe how fast kids grow up. She will be 16 the end of January. Emmy I hope you have a better day.❤🙏

You can clean new/new to you peppermills by grinding some rice, doesn't take a lot. also you should be able to adjust the grind by how tight you screw the top nut

I'm envious of the butter mold.
Yes, the way the spatula is made is called a full tang. The blade is made of spring steel, that's why it's so flexible.
The reason the pepper mill doesn't go more coarse is because, in those days, if you want very coarse, or "cracked" pepper, you just used a mortar and pestle.
The beater is definitely for looser liquids. More for cream, eggs, and such. It works better if you hold it so that it rests on the bottom of the bowl.

Yes, I'm old. And, yes, I have all those tools. I've even churned multiple pounds of butter at once. Sitting at the churn was the only time my grandpa would let me sit still to read a book for entertainment.😂

The hand beater was for things like eggs (egg whites), whipped cream, or managing hot liquids that needed beating while hot.

My best find would be a vintage steel garlic press, like my Mom & Dad's. The little steel cup, where the garlic clove sits, is removable for cleaning.
The lemon/lime juicer may have been used when making drinks, possibly at bar or at home.
I don't remember lemons being as large as we find today.
If you needed more juice you would use a vintage citrus juicer.
I have my Grandparents vintage electric stand mixer from the 1920s or earlier. It is green and made of steel. It still has the original glass mixing bowl. When I lived in my first apartment the first thing I used it to make was a lemon meringue pie. I also have their hand mixer, similar to the one you found.
It's adorable the things children believe they invented. The beginnings of an inventer. I think it's sweet.

i didn’t wake up today thinking i’d need a butter stamp, but now i do! 😂

[busby]

We call that last tool an egg beater. We use it for making scrsmbled eggs

[marywesley]

Oh I’m going to be looking for one of those butter molds. I love that! My granddaughter and love making butter

[MissingRaptor]

I got some of those egg beaters recently at a thrift store. I, too, was extremely excited to try them out. I tried making a small amount of whipped cream (about 1/2 cup) using them and found that they need to be for a MUCH bigger amount than I was using them 😅. Come the fall/winter, I'm going to make a large amount of eggnog with them.

Also, ages ago I learned that to unhomogenize whole milk, you just freeze it. It doesn't damage the milk or anything, but it does leave you with unhomogenized milk. (For those of you wondering, I can buy 2L of milk for like $5 or 4L for $6. Freezing it makes my budget stretch much farther). (Yay capitalism /s)

Omg yes!!! I first found your channel with you testing antique kitchen gadgets years ago!!

[treasuretreereynolds]

Talk about memories! The juice squeezer was what my parents had for their bar. My parents entertained when my dad was in the Liquor Control Board of our state. I remember a couple coming into my room to 💋! Lol! That was in the early 60’s. I miss them soooo much. Not the couple, my parents. 😂
P.S. ~ My mom had the beater and I loved to use it. So, those 2 are my favorite! 💜

[wysteriacarlino]

That's me everyday in the kitchen! My husband laughs & shakes his head (on his way out). 😁 My best flea market find was an old juicer from the 60's.

[bernadinesackinger]

The spills and thrills of the average kitchen ❤

[kristinbyers]

I'm glad you left the spills and messes in. It's just real life

[ashmac]

OMG I love old things! My grandmother used to take us to garage sales on the weekends. Me & my sister would look through all the stuff and find little treasures. I've always had a powerful imagination, so things like that felt like an adventure to me. I'd always make up stories in my head about the people and objects we encountered.

Whats the best thing I ever found? Probably these antique handmade slippers with embroidered flowers.
