Such a handy nostalgic alternative sugar holder has found a new life and home!
I received this email from an Etsyian at VintageToGoetsy:
I'm Collecting Vintage Pieces to use with my other vintage gold trim
Noritake Tulane china. I also have some other serving pieces (covered
veg. dishes) that are 100 years old. This will be a neat piece on my
server, to add at coffee/ tea time with my vintage cream, sugar, etc.
Thank you Etsyian for sending your story! I am so happy to hear it's in good company and with a collection with some pieces over 100 years old! And I can vouch for this being a unique neat piece to add for coffee or tea time for several reasons!
My aunts and uncles loved this piece because it not only brought back memories for them to share, but everyone was happy with their own types of sugar. So although I had bowl collection, out of it all, I used this piece the most due to it's easy and versatile use.
Now it's with a Noritake Tulane China collection with gold trim, which matches better than with my Noritake Greencourt collection with silver trim.

My Nortiake Greencourt which is similar, but with silver trim:
I'm sure the new owner of my Hall China sugar packet holder will make many new memories with it when the China is rolled out for every special occasion.
Saying Good-bye: This piece brings back many special occasions with family, but after having everything from the kitchen in the dining room and living room from the kitchen remodel, I am happy it's found a new home in a new collection!
It's also a good reminder of how much more of my hoard I need to clear out and organize since I have two China sets from my Grandmother somewhere! I used to use my Noritake and Platinum Whites daily until I moved and now it's lost in my hoard!
What I Learned:
1. The more of my hoard that find new homes, it seems the more I still need to disperse! Just thinking about my Grandmother's China sets lost in my hoard overwhelms me and I wonder how to make room in the kitchen when I find it!
Many kitchen items will still need to be listed to make room and store two large sets of China or I'll need to decide to only keep one of them! And even then there isn't room for anything more at the moment!
2. I need to remind myself frequently of how the dining and living room looked with all the kitchen ware in it during the remodel, so I can continue moving forward and let go of so much more of it, especially if I want use my Grandmother's China again daily and have both sets stored in the kitchen.
3. Such a small container as the sugar packet holder is such a big reminder of how much further I need to press on with my dehoarding to reach my goals!
Thank you Kathryn for your order from VintageToGoetsy and story which in a big way reminded me to keep going and motivated me to store my Grandmother's China! Thank you for letting me know that the Golden Glo sugar holder is with you and your antique China collection. Nothing is as complete as a happy ending!
