Favourite Things Thursday

I really like bells.
I showed you all one of my bells on Wednesday of last week.


So I thought I'd show you my other brass bells.

This is an Irish bell, bought locally several years ago. I was learning spinning at the time, so the depiction of the Irish lady with the large old-fashioned wheel was irresistible.

This windmill belonged to my sister. She gave it to me to join the collection.

Second daughter gave me this one, a Welsh lady knitting as she walks.

I have a couple of others, but my favourites at the moment are these brass bells.
I hope you like them.

ABC Wednesday - Y

It's Wednesday again, and we're nearly at the end of this round of ABC Wednesday.
Today's letter is
Y

Y
is for

YOKE

I have a small collection of bells, mostly brass.
This is one of my bells.
It is about 2.75 inches (7 cm) tall.

The bell is in the shape of a lady. It's made in a pale yellowish brass that was once painted over with black. The clappers, instead of being inside, take the form of two buckets which swing against the skirt making a very pleasant sound. These buckets are attached by chains to a
yoke
which the lady carries across her shoulders.

See?

For a lot more Y posts, visit our host
Mrs Nesbitt
who came up with this great idea.

Have a good Wednesday.
