Sketch With Me — memories

Today is the Sketch With Me virtual sketch crawl, with the prompt of “memories “. I had planned on packing up more items for the move today, including these little-used things in our kitchen.

Years ago, I used this Indian pitcher (with a very wonky shadow!) to water plants . . . . until I saw one just like it on Antique Roadshow. From the Monmouth Pottery company c. 1910, it’s called “Old Sleepy Eye” and is worth a bit more than I had imagined! It came from Bill’s Grandma Cobb, who was mostly Swedish but also had a smidgen of American Indian in her..

The Fiestaware serving pieces are from my mom. I don’t know where she got them or any fun stories to go with them; I just think of her when I see them.
