Another task I managed yesterday was to clean out half...yes only half of my kitchen cupboards.....
Right in the back I found this beauty...
It was my mum's kitchen scales.
As soon as I pulled it out the memories of mum in the kitchen baking for us continually came flooding back.
The measurements are all in pounds - which is great when I cook from her ancient CWA cookbook.
Something else you don't see very often is - Made in the Republic of Ireland.
I wonder how much it cost mum when she bought it or maybe it was a wedding gift.
It is in really good condition so I shall leave it out and find a suitable place to display it in my kitchen to be a reminder that baking for my family is something I learnt from my mum.
Hello Taylor. I hope it's ok that I always start every visit to this space with a little thought to you.
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE those scales. What a great find. Funny how they've lasted all this time while my red ones are on their way out after abot three years.
Oh what a treasure! I love how things/songs/smells can bring memories just flooding back like that... awesome!
ReplyDeleteBron,
ReplyDeleteI have some fond memories of your Mum...
She was a true lady.

Hi Bron..it's lovely to rediscover something that brings back good memories. Are you going to use them..and convert all your recipes to pounds and ounces?..lol.
