White Ironstone Style Animal Hooks

Hello everyone! 

Today I thought I would share my cute collection of iron stone style animal hooks. 

I am not sure when they were made. 

I found them at the thrift store for .69 each! 

TOTAL STEAL! 

I knew I wanted to use them to hang my potholders and or tea towels in the kitchen, and I settled on hanging them on the side of the kitchen island. 

I think they look adorable! I have a little thing for ironstone, and I have displayed some of my collection in a glass fronted cabinet on my pantry wall. 

This cabinet also holds my animal creamers I have brought back one at a time from my visits to Paris. My sweet animal hooks fit right in, holding oven mits here in the kitchen!

Here they are on the side of my island holding the cute potholders I found at Target. 

 Here's the whole gang!

 See? They just make me smile!




The photos above were taken when I brought them home. They needed a little cleaning, but now they are gleaming, hanging up on the kitchen island! 

 I brought these two pot holders home, and ran right back to Target to buy another two.  I wish I would have bought a whole extra set of four. I love them and will be sad if they get worn out, but everything is made to be used, so we use them everyday!

 Can you see why I love them?!

 I didn't even want to wait to finish screwing them in before taking a pic! I am so weird. 
I will share about my animal creamer collection and my large ironstone stash, coming soon! 

Have a fantastic week!

  2. They are adorable, I love each animal, you were so lucky to bring them home! In our old house I had a duck and a chicken and hubby said to leave it in the kitchen when we sold it, because they would brake trying to take them out. They were glued on the tile, though.
    Big hugs,
