Fabulous Friday Photos and Memories

When I transferred into my new computer I lost two years of photos in the transfer...when you think of relying on computers for your life...it really is a shame when a Ka-FLooey erases history.

Luckily, I at least had my Google photos from my blog...while scanning through those---thousands, I pulled a few OLD favorites. Some very old...and thought I would share them as Fabulous Friday Photos.

Fall, hopefully is on its way. Yesterday we had the highest temp, 100+, and heat index, 120+, ever in the Chicagoland Area. It was stifling with our humidity, but this morning it is dreary and cooler. 

Thank goodness.

The Fall arrangement above is one of my favorites, because it has some of my favorite flowers and lots of naturals and textures:

Delphiniums

Black eyed Susans, 

Sunflowers, 

Queen Anne's Lace, 

The sparkly thing on the right is 

'Spooky Spider', a cute Dollar Store spider.

This is was when our grandgirl was small and chose the non-spooky Halloween decor from my storage bins. She placed him on an old lantern and that was my porch decor for most of Fall.

The enameled container is a huge gallon or more coffee pot with a wood handle, I found at a farm yard sale probably 40 years ago. I dragged it home without a lid and a tiny hole in the bottom and my hubby wrinkled his nose. Oh, well--it's perfect for arrangements.

I often wondered where anyone needed an enamel coffeepot that large, then I recalled the huge coffeepots at my first job at 14 waiting on banquet tables at Dania Hall. We were a bunch of young girls of members, who often waited on tables for 350 or more at banquets. My great-aunt, Gudren, was the cook there for large events. The coffeepots were even larger in that kitchen, and were lifted by two ladies into the dumb-waiter to go upstairs banquet hall. Not an easy feat.

 Danish coffee is always the drip sort, boiling water poured over grounds in the large baskets lined with linen cloth. It was a tedious process, as large pots were slower to drain, but the coffee was the BEST ever, and the smell overran the huge and busy kitchen at Dania.
