Yesteryear's Tools...

Let's Do 52

 

Week: 8

 

Theme: Simplicity - I used PTM's Heist and a linen overlay to get this effect.

 

This was a display at a one hundred year old school house with vintage items set up all throughout. I loved the ease I felt looking at this display, the thought of yesteryear's bakers armed with everything they needed at the time to make their baked goods. Seems so simple and yet it was likely even more difficult as it was only two hands and a heart beat that produced the bread and cakes and not the Artisan Kitchen Aid (which, don't get me wrong, I adore). A simpler time, perhaps.

 

Two sidenotes: One: If you are ever in Stony Plain, Alberta, go to the Homesteader's Diner for THE BEST apple-raspberry crumble pie ever. And two: It is more than likely that I had the biggest urge to take these beautiful old mixing bowls home with me - but resisted!!! They really were lovely :)
