I have a page on my blog dedicated to my Granny and every so often I post about one of the lovely things I have of hers. This weekend my boys got to play with one of their Granny's treasures, her dansette record player. Small boy just wanted to eat the case!

It's such a lovely thing to have and I am so glad my Mum has kept it. There must be over 100 records in her Grambook record bag including loads of children's songs!

I love that her name label is still on it too! I so want a label maker!

 

I found this one on Etsy, so tempted to buy it and get it shipped to my brother as he lives in New Jersey!

The first thing I would like to share, from the beautiful collection of things I was lucky enough to have from my Granny, is her antique ice bucket. To be honest we haven't really ever used it because it is in such lovely condition, I would hate to ruin it! Silly really as I am sure she would love to know it was being used and enjoyed! So this summer we plan to have lots of cocktails!

It sits proudly on the dresser in the dining room, alongside her crystal decanters, which may seem so old fashioned to have, but I love them!

What I found inside was such a treat! A little scrap of paper with a recipe for a cocktail called the Pussyfoot!

Try it for yourself!

Ice, Juice of half an orange, juice of half a lemon, dessertspoon of grenadine and soda.

Mix all the ingredients bar the soda, shake and then top up with the soda!
