A lovely ice cream churn has joined the household, a flea market find. It is all there but the barrel shafts have gaps and one of the wooden paddles is split so it would likely be a bit of a challenge to make ice cream.
The handle got turned several times to honour past usage. It was gently washed of grease and grime and what looked like dust from a barn; spiders were encouraged to vacate.
An umbrella and walking sticks have taken up residence where the ice - or would it be the salt? - once would have been put.
I thought it was for making butter when I first saw it.
But its name was not about butter.
I suppose it could now be used for felting small objects.
Hmmm......
Another interesting conversation piece has joined your home. Our latest addition was our new granddaughter that arrived at 9pm October 31.
