They always kept a small barrel almost exactly like the taller brown one, filled with extremely hot Coleman's mustard, on the condiments tray on the dining table. I was endlessly fascinated with this little barrel until one fateful day I took a spoonful of the contents. Forever scarred!! I have never been able to abide even the scent of mustard ever since.<br />Thanks (sort of!) for the trip down Memory Lane... <br />xxSPSlim Paleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278593197402665506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-71854309401523384762014-04-03T05:16:26.313-04:002014-04-03T05:16:26.313-04:00Oh my goodness, you are a barrel of surprises!

I could see a party in your Barn, outbuilding being just barrels of fun! Your post made me so nostalgic for a candy shaped like a barrel, I believe they were root beer flavor. Now I am on a mission to find them. Charming little barrels. I love your fascinations.<br />pvepve designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527745630303158002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-45478157882541651812014-03-31T06:20:28.946-04:002014-03-31T06:20:28.946-04:00If you were from the south, a different barrel wou...If you were from the south, a different barrel would haunt you.<br /><br />http://www.mesda.org/onlineExhibits_sprite/spirited-ancestors/mesda_whiskey-barrel-shaped-beaker.htmlTednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-78913682768819127292014-03-29T20:50:14.336-04:002014-03-29T20:50:14.336-04:00your blog is ever a delight and never more so than...your blog is ever a delight and never more so than when your impeccable tastes serve us the honor of a mention. and you have a cute dog, too.White Whale Limitedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600048500466092214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-56544227332992087722014-03-29T19:23:57.669-04:002014-03-29T19:23:57.669-04:00I love that little lock detail, too!I love that little lock detail, too!Pigtown*Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775512940294150252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-59041340914424172102014-03-29T07:32:57.563-04:002014-03-29T07:32:57.563-04:00Your collection is absolutely charming, Reggie.

In collecting old photos, I have noticed how often barrels make an appearance. Real ones in dockside or country store photos, and sometimes one can spot decorative ones like yours in interior shots.<br />--JimParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-49222209712522209052014-03-28T10:34:37.308-04:002014-03-28T10:34:37.308-04:00What wonderful forms and colors these little treas...What wonderful forms and colors these little treasures are. I too adore barrels and have some around my home. There are three graduating wooden barrels in our basement's pantry that belonged to my husband's family. Also, I purchased a tall and narrow wooden barrel that was used to keep nails in from an old hardware store. I got that at their estate sale several years ago. I even managed to somehow find a photograph of the interior of this shop, dating form the early 1900s complete with a row of these same barrels in action.Chronica Domushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732224119040843337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-2451172046977933072014-03-27T23:46:42.224-04:002014-03-27T23:46:42.224-04:00When I visited Colonial Williamsburg last year wit...When I visited Colonial Williamsburg last year with my daughter's school group, one of the most interesting craftsmen we saw was the cooper. He discussed the making of barrels as well as their many uses in an eighteenth-century community. I'd never really thought about barrels before his demonstration. Your little examples are delightful!SewingLibrarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884510117234994583noreply@blogger.com
