Bread box and Canister set.....

Nataliesgramma — Fri, 25 Aug 2017 18:58:04 GMT

Neighbor passed away and the grown kids are having a yard sale.

She had a beautiful wooden bread box that had a front like a roll top desk. Canister set was also wood and matched the bread box....

Brought back memories of my kitchen 40 some years ago with my set and matching spice rack......received all of it from my Bridal shower.....

Anyone else remember or still use one?

After 36 years of marriage, my husband gave me a very nice bread box for Christmas last year (I am very ok with practical presents). However, we do not eat much bread nor do we have sufficient counterspace for it. I have seen ones like you describe. I do have a canister set that is ceramic. My mom stored cookbooks in her bread box...

We still have a bread box. I'd donate it if I could, but my husband likes it.

We don't keep bread in it. In fact, there are just a few candy bars in there and two things stored on top of the breadbox. We've had it since we got married, 26 years ago.

Breadbox can be used by you or DH as a safe place to drop off keys, wallet, pens, etc at the end of the day.....this way, all the necessaries will be readily available but hidden from sight.

Yes, I used canisters and a bread box in my first kitchen 42 years ago. I got rid of them when we moved in this house 36 years ago because my galley kitchen has very little counter space.

While I don't use a breadbox, I still use and display cannisters.

I picked up a set of Pfaltzgraff etched glass cannisters that were on clearance at a kitchen supply store in a trendy mall.

I keep them because of the great memories. Out shopping with my BFF that day, got lunch and went looking for things for my first place.

Even on clearance I thought they were a fortune back then!

I've had the sets too.

Now, we use a canister for sugar, primarily for tea until I do holiday baking (sugar sacks are such a mess). I have a small shelf that pulld out that we've always had the bread in.

Never used a bread box but years ago I bought a "tater and onion bin" and wondered whether to junk it when I moved recently. Brought it with me and it's nicely hidden in a corner. The top is a bread box and I don't buy or eat bread often so I use it to store recipes!

As for canisters - I still have my old green Tupperware set hidden in my pantry. It's ugly but I can't seem to part with it cuz I love that they seal when you "burp" them.

I have a "tater & onion" bin also. It was purchased at a flea market in Florida when I first moved there. I do use the bread box as my husband loves bread. But for the rest of it, I store bowls and Corningware, seasonal paper goods and serving platters. It looks really cute in my new, smaller kitchen and really comes in handy from a storage perspective. 😀

I bought it when dad lived with me and my sibs would come over a lot to see him. In those days I'd buy a small bag of onions and potatoes. Living alone now I buy onions and potatoes only one or two at a time so mine constantly gets repurposed as well. I'm so glad I chose to move it here with me - you can't see it where it's located!
