I guessed what the...Your post gave me a good laugh! I guessed what the items were, but only because I recently bought an ironstone chamber pot that I found at a thrift store. It's plain white except for the backstamp, which has the lion and unicorn crest of England and the words "J & G Meakin, Hanley, England". None of the store clerks knew what is was used for, either, even though it was a Mennonite shop. I only knew because when I was a little girl, our summer cottage in Muskoka didn't have plumbing or electricity. Everyone was afraid to take a walk through the forest after dark to get to the outhouse, so we had a pot. My father built a little wooden chair with a hole in the seat to fit over the pot, so the girls could sit down "on the job". The kitchen faucet was a hand pump and the bathtub was a big, galvanized metal washtub. If you wanted hot water, you heated it in pots over the gas stove. I still think of those summers as the good old days. :-)Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222195942840154086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673715574563937115.post-11020702891326681222013-02-21T10:22:41.680-06:002013-02-21T10:22:41.680-06:00Hope you are feeling better Nancy!

I have a bathroom decorated with black and white toile and transferware plates, but I'm not sure they are hung in the most secure way. One came down, sadly, and broke.

I am just about to bust wide open! Oh, Nancy...you have given me the laugh of the month! Poor chamber maids having to carry that thing away after. Ugh! The whole thing about sitting over one of those in CHURCH....hilarious! I mean...wouldn't the people around the lady HEAR it? Smell it?!?!?! What would happen after church? Ugh!!!!!!!!! Just too much to think about!!! :-) :-) :-) This was a good one, Nancy! Now I'm off to clean our bathrooms and thanking my lucky stars for them!!!
