HI Dear Gloria!
OH, my, I'm in Hog Heaven looking at your wonderful antiques. I love your pretty stove, well, and everything else you have. I really would love to come and visit you and stroll through your wonderful home and hear all the stories of your antiques. I showed Mr. Precious your gum ball slot machine and he had a fit! He said I want that! :)
Be a sweetie,

Hi, Gloria! Another Gloria here! :) I just want to say THANK YOU for loving antiques. So many young people today want the "contemporary" look, and I am always so pleased when I see people who appreciate antiques and don't 'get rid of them.' I LOVE seeing even something like your long glass cupcake holder from 1910. Wow, this was actually being used 100 years ago. Very special. And that stove! It's beautiful - and can you imagine: someone actually USED that at one time. So congrats for your love and respect for the past!
Best regards,
Gloria
You captured my attention with your first photo. I love all of your blue plates and that rolling pin ~ be still my heart!! Love, love, love it. I spent many minutes on each photo just checking out all of your lovely things. The stove is the icing on the cake. Your kitchen is so warm and cozy. Love it.
Thanks for sharing.
Gloria --
You should charge admission at your house! It's an American treasure for sure!
I love your antique stove Gloria! I love antiques and I especially love yours! The blue and white dishes, all the neat crocks, girl you have it all! Hey, and my Mom has that same wallpaper border! Dan put it up for her last summer and I love it!
Hugs, Cindy
Gloria your old cook stove is just lovely. I love your kitchen decor and antiques. Of course I am a blue decor person too so I like your kitchen.
How wonderful your ktichen is. The long glass cupcaker is very unique and I love it:)
Warmly,

A beautiful stove and yes, a true piece of history. You have so many wonderful items!

Oh Gloria! THAT is one fabulous stove!! I think you should see if it can work again. I know I would ;)
love you,
rue
That stove is a beauty, and I would love to see that long jar with pasta in it filled with cupcakes-just too fun!
I love it!! And not only is it great because you don't have to cook on it...it also holds all your baking pieces...now that is double duty!! I love crocks, it's nice that some of yours were in your family. Love the flowers painted on the stove, too.
Hope you are feeling better, my dear!
xoxo

That stove is amazing! What a collection you have!
Can you tell me where you got that white lacey charger? I found them on the net, then lost the bookmark!
Gloria, I love your stove and all your goodies. Goodness, if I were in your home, I would stand around with my mouth open looking at everything. All your things are so amazing.
Sending you a big ole hug!!

Gloria, My eyes are the size of a two years eyes looking at a Christmas tree. That stove is just beautiful. In fact that whole corner is great, it reminds me of my great grandmothers kitchen. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful antiques and for stopping by.

I like your guitar with the strings missing....my kind of thinking too! I love old kitchen antiques...as you would see above my cupboards!! You always have the best stuff!!
Hi Gloria!
That stove is amazing! I love it! And all the beautiful blue and white dishes are gorgeous. Everything looks so welcoming!
You have some amazing things hiding away in that gorgeous old stove!
I loved looking at your collection of kitchen goodies.

Again, Gloria, you have showed me somehthing beautiful.. I love the stove and all the other antiques. You have a way with decorating your home with these very unique pieces. Have a blessed day. Madeline
Gloria, I could just look at your pics and pick interesting things out all day. I, too, love antiques. Great post!
What a fantastic post! I could also look at your pictures all day. If I had that much time, I would. Putting you on my favorites list. Maybe just because I love your name--it's my name, too! In His joy, Gloria
What a wonderful post! I, too, could look at your pics all--if I had the time. I'm joining as a follower so that I can come back and back. By the way, I love your name!
It's my name, too. In His joy. Gloria
Oh wow, you know I love looking at all your gorgeous antiques. That stove is just the most gorgeous thing in the whole world. I havn't ever seen anything like it. Your vignette with the plates and the rolling pin is gorgeous and the stove vignette with the high chair and all your goodies is just to drool over. Love, love, love it. Thanks so much for joining the party. This is such fabulous eye candy. Hugs, Marty
Hi Gloria! Your stove is fabulous!!!

Gloria...that is the most precious stove I have ever seen! Ever! Were I you I would open my home (reservations only of course!) and charge folks to see it! Amazing! How on earth did you collect so MUCH! It is simply amazing. I always have to enlarge the pictures and just look...and look...and look...and then sigh deeply! Such neat stuff!!
I take it you are getting stronger all the time!! HOORAH!! :)
I am having the worst time getting around ...nothing gets done around here...wish I could have a housekeeper...naw...not really! :)
Love and hugs to you my sweet friend!
Mona
Hey Dearie,
I e-mailed you this morning. I forget about that e-mail account, I am going to e-mail you my other one too.
Hugs, Cindy
Gloria, I don't think I've ever seen close up pictures of this olden stove. It is so unique. What a wonderful find. Is the part below the oven (with a little drawer) another oven? Love the floral decoration on it. I still can't believe you got that high chair/stroller in such great condition. It's beautiful! You are THE finder of great finds! laurie
Gloria this the neatest stove I have ever seen before! WOW! What an awesome treasure for you to cherish. It all looks so pretty the way your arranged it too.
I hope you are feeling better sweet friend! Take care. ~Melissa :)
Ahhhh...lovin' that "COOL" old stove...it's soooo awesome!
Blessings,
Linda

Adore the stove, the pie, the glass containers holding the pasta!! I just love it! All the blue dishes, the rolling pin. How I wish I could come and tour your home! What a dream! I think your home is the best! I know you have had so much fun finding all your wonderful Treasures! I would love to have just one thing in of all your wonderful Treasures! lol How I love them ALL! Take care of yourself!
I would absolutely put this in my house...and so would a lot of us!!
your antiques are so beautiful...and the love you have along with the knowledge about each and every piece...well that just makes each post more wonderful...and each piece more valuable!
I wish I had 1/2 your knowledge...and maybe a few of the pieces you have...but that's what u-hauls are for right mom????
hugs and smiles
love you!
Gloria, I ditto all the previous comments to this post. I just want to make a comment...sometimes it appears to me that you apologize for the amount and type of historical treasures that you have in your home and picture in your posts. I guess I feel this when I read things like: "...OK I know most people here in blog land would not have this stuff in their house..."
I just wanted to say, you needn't apologize to any of us for the loves in YOUR home. We also love it as you can tell by the lovely comments.
This comment is not meant to offend you so I hope it hasn't. I just feel this is a common thread in some of your posts and I wonder why? Just know we love your blog and collections!
In fact, I think you are so lucky to have all this memorabilia and I thank you for sharing it. Thank you for keeping history alive!
Keep your flag-a-wavin'♥ Joan
