todayiamadaisyToday we cleaned out the second half of the kitchen cabinet.
Things thrown in the bin:
A shiny purple teacup (cracked), given to my mother as a Christmas gift in the late 1950s by an aunt
A wooden pestle that no longer has a mortar
Things put in the box to take to the charity shop, on the grounds someone might want them:
A plastic lemon keeper shaped like half a lemon (purchased by me, never used)
A teapot shaped like a tree stump with a nesting owl, two matching stump mugs (belonged to my mother's late partner, who went through an owl phase)
A wooden beefeater and bobby pair (a gift from my mother's late partner's family in England to him)
Ceramic money box with a Victorian lady on one side and "Chocolate Fund" on the other (my mother thinks this was a work Kris Kringle gift)
Green plastic photo frame shaped like a flower on a metal stem (neither of us know how we obtained this)
One round red serving dish with a Christmas tree on it (source unknown)
Three glasses with cartoon characters on them (probably "collectible" jam jars that my grandmother kept)
Three small wooden ducks (used to sit on the kitchen windowsill at my mother's late partner's house)
Tin money box with an Australian $100 note design, completely sealed and needing to be opened with a tin opener, containing one coin, probably a 20c or 50c judging from the sound (this was a work Kris Kringle gift to me)
Two mugs with legs like Humpty Dumpty that overbalance when filled with liquid (source unknown)
Two small (10cm) pewter jugs (Christmas gift from a relative who had just come back from Singapore)
Two square white ceramic dishes that you'd put dip or nuts in (source unknown)
