I is for Iron

Are you ready for another round of Alphabe Thursday? Let's go!

Earlier this month I did an all day excursion with a friend to Old World Wisconsin. At some point while we were there, I realized that I had a bunch of pictures of irons and decided it would be fun to make a little series of it. It didn't occur to me until later that I could use them for the letter I.

As you can imagine I took a crazy number a lot of photos during the day. Old World Wisconsin presented so many fantastic opportunities for photo taking. I'm cheating a little bit today and sharing a few non-iron photos as well. I still have so many to go through, but I couldn't resist pulling a few favorites.








And now on to our featured item for this week...







Check out what the other Alphabe participants posted this week for the letter I right here!

  17. now that's really iron, any way you look at it. Great photos! We have a number of those old irons in our museum collections. They are cute... and heavy! Love the wagon wheel, with the metal. I was thinking that was iron! {:-D

  18. Every single photo is fantastic! so glad you shared them!
    The first antique I ever owned was an iron. My mother bought it for me (with me) at an antique shop when I was a little girl. Why an iron? I have no idea.

  19. I love iron.

    And I love ironing.

    Yes.

    It's true.

    I do.

    I dry all of my clothes outside and I love ironing my husbands shirts each week!

    They smell so yummy.

    Thanks for an intriguing link for the letter 'I'.

    A+

  20. I love antique and vintage items. And I actually love irons and ironing too, like Ms. Jenny!
    I also love to hang dry clothes on a clothesline (we dont have one here in our new home though).

    Blessings & Aloha!
    Yay! I am finally catching up to some of my "I" visits! Yikes! I am still not in a routine with my blogging and visiting. I hope you can pop on over to my place :o)
