Hello, Dear Ones!
Let me say it again...
OH! MY! LORD!
Yes siree Bob!
Look what I found for $20!!
I have admired these kinds of canister sets for so long.
Sweet little lids.
I did find out that they are made by Royal Sealy and the pattern is called Heritage Blue Onion and probably were produced around the 1950s.
Aren't these wonderful canisters?
I'm totally in love with them!
Can you love olden canisters?
Why you bet your sugar lumps you can!
I'm totally in love with them!

I got a couple of little extra treats:
a napkin holder
and...
a darling tea pot!!
You could say I'm on Cloud Nine at the moment!!
Can I please say it again...
OH! MY! LORD!
Can I please say it again...

I'll leave you with a little Note Song ~
Top of the World
Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
~ sung by The Carpenters There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

ReplyDeleteOh Shelia, I'm so jealous. I have the cookie jar and tea pot that I got saving S&H green stamps (boy I'm telling my age aren't I) the first year my husband and I got married about 44 years ago. They still sit in my kitchen...I have seen one or two pieces of the canisters by alone but never the whole set. I didn't even know there was a napkin holder....wonder if there might be salt and pepper shakers to match....your so lucky...what a bargain!
ReplyDeleteHi darling, way to go.. they are gorgeous!!! Perfect for your sweet kitchen.
ReplyDeletehugs ~lynne~

Well that was a find! Very pretty....now, where are they going???
ReplyDeleteShelia, this set is totally gorgeous. Their true value I would say would be three times what you paid, at least. Find of the century, no wonder you are on cloud nine. Truly exquisite. :)
ReplyDeleteMy mother had these! I love them! She had your set plus measuring cups, a salt, pepper and coffee pot. I had no idea about the provenance. I gave them to a friend for her lake house. Your set is fabulous! Thanks for sharing! What a wonderful find!
ReplyDeleteI'm swooning! Love your new pretties. What a bargain!
ReplyDelete~Adrienne~
Wow! That has to be the find of the century...awesome deal! Shelia, you were in the right place at the right time! They are beautiful and will be perfect in your kitchen!
ReplyDeleteYou lucky duck! What a great find. I love them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a deal! They look like they'll work perfectly in your home. I love the way they have words on them.
ReplyDeleteGirl....oh no you ditton! You are so lucky! They're gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh my! You hit the jackpot! I can't believe you found the whole set and what an awesome price! I can see you doing the happy dance right now. LOL
ReplyDeleteBabs
Oh My Lord, is right! You scored big!!! ...and for so little! What a super deal on this beautiful set, with so much character!!! Love them! :)
ReplyDeleteDouble, triple Wow! Ok, did you really steal them? :) There is no way you found these for $20?????? I can't wait to see how you display them.
ReplyDeleteThe little tea pot is my fave piece. So cute. xxoo
What a sweet set!!! Good for you....and looks like they are in perfect condition too!!! I know you are praising God......
ReplyDeleteWow! What a sweet deal! I've been wanting an old German set that is in a shop we stop at when we're traveling to a vacation area. It's cream with black silhouettes of fairies dancing, but it's $100 and I keep hoping it will go on sale. We both know how this story will end. Somebody else is going to buy it. :@
ReplyDeleteI need to shop at your stores!
$20.00....!!! ....SHUT THE FRONT DOOR !
ReplyDeleteThese are just awesome, Shelia. What a great price for a great find.
I have a collection of olden German canister sets that I sure enjoy. Will you use these in your kitchen?...or will they go in a hutch? I keep mine in hutches. :)
Hi Shelia,
ReplyDeleteOh...my goodness...my goodness! I have the same set of canisters (Flour, Sugar, Coffe & Tea). I posted them on my blog sometime ago. My post is called "Blueware".
I have never seen these anywhere until now. I received mine as a wedding gift 42 years ago and have held onto them all these years. Congratulations!
Smiles,
Carolynn
WOW! What a super gorgeous set! What a great find and an amazing deal! Absolutely love them!
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful!!! I would be thrilled to find too! What a fabulous deal!!!! They are lovely, I am in love and they are not even mine!!!!
ReplyDeleteit is a wonderful warm fuzzy feeling when you find that perfect treasure lol!sweet set!
ReplyDeleteHelen
Absolutely charming, Sheila! You found some real treasures, girl! Have a beautiful day.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
Oh Wow! Sheila you really scored big time, you have my permission to say it one more time "OH MY LORD!
ReplyDeleteSheila, What a wonderful find. They really don't look like a 1950's design, they look fabulous. I adore blue and white and have a French set which I found in a Charity Shop here in England, and I had the same feeling as you, pure excitement. Congratulations, I can tell you utterly love your cannisters. Best Wishes Daphne
ReplyDeleteWhat a score! Fabulous find! The look very Pennsylvania Dutch. Absolutely love them!
ReplyDeleteI have a set almost like that! Got it 47 years ago this September for a wedding gift! I'm glad your so excited!!
ReplyDeleteNancy
Wow Shelia! Those are beautiful and you got them for a song!
ReplyDeleteSheila, I LOVE these! I would be on Cloud nine too! I Love it when I am blessed with these little "treasures"! I collect Blue tulip pottery (among other things) and whenever I come across a piece or two I have to do an Irish jig! LOL
ReplyDeleteOh My Lord is right! WOweeee! I would have run to the car! Don't you love coming across an entire collection all for yourself?! I do too!! That is amazing!
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia *hugs*
ReplyDeleteWow...great find and great price. Isn't it something when you wait long and admire long enough when you actually find it...and it was obviously meant just for you.
Its very pretty....I know you'll enjoy them..

Judi

ReplyDeleteShelia, not sure how I missed this post; but I am OH.SO.JEALOUS, right now!! These are beautiful!! The colors are stunning; and they appear to be in mint condition! What a great find!!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could post my name and address so you could tell me why you insist on using the Lord's name in vain!
ReplyDeleteShelia,
ReplyDeleteHi! Coming over from Rhoda's. I have the same canister set (circa mid sixties). While my mom was pregnant with me, she stood in line week after week at the local grocery store (New York) to redeem stamps her purchases earned. You could trade the stamps for pieces of this set! I have fond memories of searching for loose change in them! Mom would remind us, “I stood on line while pregnant to get those!” I have them now. Enjoy! It was a treat to see them at Rhoda’s today.
I saw a picture of your canisters on Southern Hospitality. My grandmother had that cookie jar when I was a little girl. Seeing that brought back so many wonderful memories from years ago. Thanks!
