When I saw the Challenge Your Camera topic this week was kitchen I immediately thought of The Palm Cottage kitchen. The Palm Cottage is Naples, Florida’s oldest home, built in 1895, just a block away from the Naples Pier. The pier was the only way people could reach Naples for winter vacations to hunt and fish and how food and other provisions were received. The cottage is now a museum where I learned about life not too long ago when Naples was well beyond the edge of nowhere.
The challenge requests photos be of things in our kitchen (sorry, but this isn’t mine) and be macro shots (sorry, I think that the items in this kitchen are better viewed within the context of the whole). This kitchen is actually an addition to the cottage made later. When this cottage was built the only electricity (produced by a generator) was at the hotel where everyone gathered for meals.

I love this – so nostalgic 🙂 I know Dr B intended us to post photos of our own kitchen gadgets but I too went for an historic kitchen using photos from my archives!

I saw your post – and you gave me the courage to do it. It just took me a bet longer to focus enough to get it done. 🙂

I love looking at kitchens ( as opposed to actually spending any time in my own!). Great photos thank you. XXXMarie.

lol – I like mine best after my honey has cleaned up my mess. So much in this kitchen triggers happy memories from being in my grandmothers’ kitchens.
