I didn't appreciate her or her things nearly enough when she had an auction sale. We live and learn....I found out that there are a few more rolling pin collector's so I hope I answered their questions in this post!<br /><br />Thank-you both again for your visit and words.Janet Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10126248666972072628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4504381264366497570.post-61524167497973252942012-03-25T12:56:17.429-04:002012-03-25T12:56:17.429-04:00I love the way antiques and time-worn pieces make ...I love the way antiques and time-worn pieces make you wonder about their story... and wonder how it is they came to be in your hands.<br /><br />My mom uses my grandmother's rolling pin, although she's got a new one, and although I got a new one when I was married, I use a vintage one found in a thrift store... the ones with some age just feel better :)<br /><br />P.S. ~ Thanks for another look at your collection :)Lilac & Lavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18310795393642483522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4504381264366497570.post-81578815332850581992012-03-25T08:12:43.114-04:002012-03-25T08:12:43.114-04:00Yes, I am sure you will be remembered by all who k...Yes, I am sure you will be remembered by all who know you as the lady with the rolling pins. (There are worse things, right?) It is interesting to think that each rolling pin has a a history that you will never know. Each rolling pin was created for a purpose (as we are) out of love (as are we). You are WAAAAY too young now, but you really should make sure that this collection goes to a museum or historical society at some time. I do wonder about that small rolling pin. Perhaps a father made it for his daughter so that the daughter could roll dough alongside her mother. I am so irritated with myself right now as I know at some point I just threw my mother's rolling pin away. Sigh. I myself do not own one!!
