Oh God Yay!

So, my sister, Kit nannies for a well-to-do family in Williamstown, a few towns over from us. They had to go out one evening and asked Kit to stay late, baby-sitting the kids. Kindly, they invited me to spend the evening there as well, and keep Kit company. We had put the kids down to bed and were raiding the cupboards for snacks and what do you think I found?



A bloody cow creamer! I didn't even know they made cow creamers! I jumped around like a total spazz making Jeeves & Wooster referneces until Kit said I could take a picture of it! XD

Your icon is pretty much what I did. While Kit kept telling me to keep it down as to not wake the kiddies. XD

I recall when I was ten or so my family and I went to Niagara On The Lake to purchase a similar cow creamer for my grandmother. I was surprised to learn, upon reading Wodehouse a few years later, that they bothered to make them in silver : )

Cow creamers are quite common, you should go to a local car boot sale or antique swap meet. Or eBay.

I bought a cow creamer at an antiques fair over the summer... I was surprised at how many I saw there. Apparently, they're quite a popular collectable.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a cow creamer in some shop. I recall it being a lot like THE cow creamer.

Just found the exact same cow creamer on the Target site. I can't believe that I'm actually thinking about buying it.

[theempress14.livejournal.com]

OMG BUY IT. *is not just saying that because she works at a Target*

[jolly-rotten.livejournal.com]

I say, I say! How cool. :D
I found almost the exact same cow creamer (mine has little black spots on it...) at an antiques fair last month and jumped around like a little schoolgirl, quoting Jeeves&Wooster, while trying to convince my boyfriend that we need to buy it no matter what. *grins*

It's so freaking awesome being a part of the J&W fandom universe, isn't it my dear? ;)

I saw that one at Pier One. It's not expensive, either. Every home should have one. :)

Ha ha ha! That cracked me up. I have to say, and sorry if anyone disagrees with me - it's rather awful. But it doesn't look nearly as awful as the one Bertie describes in COde of the Woosters - I wish I could remember how he put it. It had an unpleasant, leering smile, I seem to remember, and I believe he said that it seemed to take him into a dark and dreadful world.

That link has the quote in it, with a picture of 2 cow creamers.

I could look the quote up since I have the book, but this was easier to find.

[closetofheroes.livejournal.com]

Excellent. Thanks. Well, I have to post it here now, just because any image of a cow creamer must be accompanied by these words.

"It was a silver cow. But when I say 'cow', don't go running away with the idea of some decent, self-respecting cudster such as you may observe loading grass into itself in the nearest meadow. This was a sinister, leering, Underworld sort of animal, the kind that would spit out of the side of its mouth for twopence. It was about four inches high and six inches long. Its back opened on a hinge. Its tail was arched, so that the tip touched the spine - thus, I suppose, affording a handle for the cream-lover to grasp. The sight of it seemed to take me into a different and dreadful world."

A slight over-reaction, perhaps - but then, those two pictured in the link were truly frightful.

[g-song.livejournal.com]

That's too awesome :D

Um... OK, I actually have a cow creamer like that (only with blue flowers). I've had it for ages, but I didn't actually realize what it was.

*bashes self over the head for stupidity*

Thick like the big print version of the complete works of Charles Dickens...
