Wooden Rolling Pins seem to add warmth to the Kitchen Atmosphere no matter where you live. No matter what size or style the food preparation room is, we need tools to help make our cooking/baking experience a joy.
The largest of my wooden rolling pins was a thrift buy special at $3.50. I delighted in this find! Wow, I thought it was so pretty. It's about 3" in diameter of solid hard wood.
While my little kitchen is under construction and I'm not sure when it will be completed, I like displaying these pins to help encourage me that a revamped kitchen will be birthed very soon.
It's not the first house that I've lived in and had to wait a very long time for a remodeled kitchen to appear. The waiting and the working in amongst the mess can frey your nerves. I think it's very important to have order in the home, but when a room is under construction it may seem like this will never be a reality. Be of good cheer and praise the Lord. To substain good mental health while all of this is going on...think on good and pleasant things. See in your mind a finished kitchen, praise God for kitchens, and know that this project will come to fruition. One day soon, you will stand in the kitchen and be able to say, "IT IS FINISHED and I helped!"
I'm writing this word of encouragement because I NEEDS IT, I DO!!! If you can find it in your heart, please lift ole Deanna and her hubby up in prayer that this project quickly come to pass. God Bless you.
With proper care, Wooden Rolling Pins can last a lifetime.
Secrets to taking care of wooden rolling pins are:
Don't leave the pin too long in water.
Dishwashers not recommended.
Immediately after use, handwash pin in hot sudsy water, rinse well, dry with towel before storing.
If there is dried-on food particles, use a plastic scouring pad to work food off, rinse and dry.
If concerned about pin cracking from excessive heat, condition pin with food safe oil such as salad oil or mineral oil.

mmm...my mom kept some wooden rolling pins out in the kitchen when I was younger. I agree, they do add a warm feel to the kitchen:)
Let me be the first to say I love the wooden rolling pins and your blog. I know the kitchen when we get it built will be a show piece, but waiting and getting there and working around it is at times much more than we bargained for. But I felt the same about the utility room, and now that it is done, what a nice place to do laundry. I really love the way it turned out.
We will keep praying for each other and lifting each other up in prayer while we turn our old stone house into Stonehaven!!
Love you. Rg
Well I thought I was the first. "8^(

I still have my grandmother's old rolling pin and it looks as good as new. Why I have it stuck in a drawe I don't know-thanks for the idea of displaying them.
God Bless!
So right, rolling pins and so much more. They are beautiful but the so much more is what pleased me in your post today. I have my Mom's and will show the cookbook she used and the chocolate pie drips on the page. Home is where the rolling pins are.
Beautiful

Seeing your rolling pins makes me want to start collecting them. I have 1 and I'm in love with it. I don't use it often, but it's nice to know that it's there.
Thanks for sharing the picture :)
Wanted to come by and say how glad I was to see that you visited. "Welcome, and don't be a stranger".
Aunt Bonnie gave me Great Great Grandmother's hand carved poplar rolling pin. Her son, Great Grandpa Samp made it for his mother, Deliah. Yes, Great Grandpa Samp's 'real' name was Sampson. It's held to the wall nail with a piece of home spun linen. Great Grandpa Samp established the first Methodist church in Webster Springs County, WV and there are preachers on both sides of the family...a rich, rich heritage!
Loved your post and your photos, thanks.
I love my wooden rolling pin and it is so nice to now think of it as helping to make my home into a haven. :) My wooden rolling pin was a gift from my mother in law when David and I set up housekeeping. I hope it will last me the rest of my life! Thank you for the tips on how to care for it!
Deanna,
I can sympathize with your remodeling woes:) Last year we decided to add a clawfoot tub to our master bath which required making our 'closet sized' bathroom into a 'walk-in closet' sized bathroom. What began as a one month project (as we were doing most of the work ourselves) became a 10 month long project-ugh! In order to deal with the constant mess, not to mention my longing to soak in the tub, I kept the 'Bathtub Diaries." It began as something of a documentation of the project but soon became my outlet through the long endeavor. It allowed me to maintain a sense of humor through the entire process (which included an antique tub located in our living room for 9 months). I would curl up in the tub with pillows and blankets and read so that I could enjoy the tub until it was in it's proper place. At Christmas there was no room for a tree so we decorated the tub. Finally after 10 months of hard work, lots of prayers, and a very long diary, I was able to soak peacefully in my new bathroom. I thank the Lord all the time for blessing me with such a simple pleasure as a bathroom with a tub in which to soak my weary muscles:) Good luck with your kitchen redo!
Blessings,
Kim

Maybe instead of needing a baseball bat when I'm home alone at night to feel safe, I will just grab the jumbo rolling pin. Now if I only needed to put my hair in rollers.... Can you say Madea???
Love you!!
PS.... If you are going to roll out pie crust don't forget to put flour on your rolling pin before you start!
