Vintage Thingie Tablescape

I thought it would be fun today to mix up two parties for Thursday I usually don't put together.  Vintage Thingie Thursday with Suzanne at her blog Coloradolady and Tablescape Thursday with Susan at her blog Between Naps on the Porch.  After we look at the tablescape will have a quiz about what the vintage thingies are on the table.

Forsythia is usually one of the first things you see blooming, I thought it would be pretty.  Not pushing spring at all am I?

I have done something different here.  I mixed French country with my Kentucky antiques.  On the cover of two magazines in January I saw that country has gone global.  It really does cross over now more than ever.  We all are admiring French, Swedish, Belgium, and put another country in here, design much to the credit of blogs and it is wonderful.  Mix it up, I think it is okay.

I haven't really got any French pottery but, Better Homes and Gardens has got it covered at Walmart.  Just in case we doubt country has gone global, exhibit A.

Okay, now on to my eclectic centerpieceI really get this inspiration from the many State Park restaurants and BBQ restaurants I grew up visiting as a resident of the Southeast of the US.  In the really atmospheric establishments I can always remember wonderful vintage thingies hanging on the walls, on shelving, and in the entry.  You might know what I mean if you have a Cracker Barrel near you. 

Now for the quiz: (answers will be at the very bottom of post)
Vintage thingie #1
What is the large brown object with the crank on it?

Vintage thingie #2
What is this?  This is the top.

And, this is the bottom.

Vintage thingie #3
What is this?
Thanks for playing along.  I enjoy doing something completely different, so I thought this would be fun.  Go and visit these two wonderful blogs to view more vintage thingies and tablescapes.

Vintage item #1  butter churn
Vintage item #2 washing stick (simple machine)  Your really the machine aren't you!
