Flower painted milk can

Flower painted milk can

We used to have a milk churn in the garden with this milk can hanging from the rim. In Victorian times, villagers would come to the farm with milk pails and ask for so many
can fulls of milk.

Isn't it great to know the history of some of these things....another painting well-done

They're much more interesting than just plain white. I think they're great.

I can remember going to the farm with our can to fetch the milk for ourselves and a couple of neighbours for a shilling a week , before going to school as well !
