Milk anyone?

I'm not generally a Pink sort of girl.  Strange, considering I am now the proud mother to one of the girliest 5 year olds I've ever met.

So here is an item of mine. Pink. I think I acquired it from my lovely paternal grandmother. I don't recall her being into pink that much either, I do like this jug though, especially if it was hers. She came from Co. Carlow, married my Grandad from West Cork, 8 children & I think 24 grandchildren later, I think we can safely say they settled nicely in East Cork.

This jug was made in Carrigaline - now just a short 15 minutes drive from Cork city, 30 minutes drive from where my grandparents family home was. When Dan and I got married, our wedding reception was a mere 2 minutes drive from my grandparents family home, my Nana had sadly died just 2.5 years before our wedding.

Later we found ourselves living approx. 25 minutes from where my grandfather was born. And now we live 8 minutes drive from where this jug was made.

Small random (perhaps even boring, I'm actually okay with that today ;) ) facts to you, but small cute information about me & my family, I look forward to sharing these facts with my grandparents over a getting-to-know-you-again cuppa and some homemade madeira cake when our Loving Father wakes them up from their deep sleep ♥

Disclosure: I like this jug even more now I've typed this memo! I think I should start displaying more pink around my home, not only in one little girl's bedroom :)

Update: Bye bye lovely pink jug. You fell out of the fridge last week. I miss you already but so glad I took photos! ;)  and newsflash, my hubby reckons he was given this jug by a mutual friend when he moved to Ireland and she moved away. Doh!
