I know Walton fans can get a little crazy with our love of all things Walton (which, by the way, I think is perfectly normal.  ). So, I wanted to ask....what did you buy because...... That is just like what they had on the Waltons!!!! I was at an antique store a few weeks ago, and on a bottom shelf there was......a kitchen towel rack from the 1930s! Better then striking gold! I bought it and it is now in my kitchen. Every time I hang a towel on it, I think..........So nice! Just like the Waltons! |

I just like old things in general. But I have an old fashioned coffee grinder that could have been used in the 1930s. I also have one of those old tin boilers. Not sure when that's from.

I have one of those and many butter churns....!
Also, a 1930 wood burning kitchen stove that I just love. It is so pretty!

I would love a spinning wheel some day and a butter churn would be nice, too. |

I have several tv show items but don't collect antiques. I have always wanted the radio though. If I ever find one and can afford it you bet I'm snatching it up!

I was looking through my mother's photo album yesterday and saw a picture of the bed my great grandfather made. I will try to scan it later and post it here. I think I have a picture somewhere of the old pump organ that my sister now has. If I can't find it, I'll ask my sister to take a picture of it and send it to me.

I just realized, I actually posted about the bed and the organ in the 1930s kitchen thread. Anyway, here is the picture of the bed. It's over 100 years old. I found the pic in my mother's photo album. My daughter has the bed now, but it is in her garage. She doesn't have room to set it up in her house. Maybe when her kids grow up, she can dedicate a room to it or something. The bed is not a standard size. It's smaller than a double bed but larger than a twin. My aunt used to work at a mattress factory, and she had a mattress specially made for the bed. The bed was made by my great grandfather who fought in the Civil War. His name was Adam Fraley and he was born in 1840 and died in 1921. I am including a picture of him as well. I don't know how old he was in this picture. My guess is, pretty old! Attachments:

My Pappaw was born in 1882. When he was a young boy, the family bought a pump organ. My Pappaw was very musical, and he sat down and started playing hymns on the organ. He never had a lesson. He just played by ear. They bought another organ for the church, and my Pappaw was the church organist. After my grandparents died, one of my aunts inherited the organ. She had it shipped to her home in Arizona. When my aunt died, my sister contacted her sons about the organ. Neither of them was interested in keeping it, so she had it shipped back to West Virginia (very expensive!). It is now in her house. Here is a picture I took of it a few years ago. That's my sweet Mama standing next to it. She's in Heaven with my grandparents now. Attachments:

Brenda, they are both beautiful pieces. How lucky you are to have them in your family still. Love the pic of your mom.

That bed is gorgeous and a real family heirloom. I hope your daughter is making sure that the bed isn't getting nicked up. Sometimes when wood furniture is exposed to heat and cold (like it is in the garage) it isn't good for it. Makes cracks in the wood, joints get loose, etc. If she has the special made mattress in the garage too, she better keep a good eye on it. Mice, spiders and other insects and critters might take up residence in it.
It's a shame she doesn't have somewhere to put it inside now, even if it is propped upside a wall.

Your grandfather was a talented woodworker. One of my brothers has my parents old bed frame stored in one of his spare rooms (not set up). It was a full size bed. I don't know how the 2 of them slept on that small bed. I don't even like sleeping on a queen size with my husband--way too close. Just too much body heat going on. Being on a king sized bed, I don't even feel it if he's tossing and turning. |
