The pitcher and bowl with the IHS inscription is an old Ewer and Basin used in a Catholic Mass for the priest to wash his hands and clean the sacred vessels for Holy Communion.

Tater is so sweet. He seems to love to cuddle. That is the best.

The monogrammed pitcher and pedestal bowl are BEAUTIFUL

Contrary to popular belief, the monogram does not stand for “I have suffered,” “Jesus Hominum Salvator” or even “In Hoc Signo.” IHS is more appropriately called a “Christogram,” and is an ancient way of writing the word “Jesus Christ.”

So happy you got a new addition to the family. I had to put down my 19 year old Siamese cat. I got her at a shelter also. Miss her dearly. My daughter and son in-law are expecting their first child in August. So I just want to be cat free for awhile. I do have a chore cat(he goes to the barn and comes in the house),but he's not very cutely. He's 14 years old.

*Oh, Yvonne, I forgot to tell you something else...I went to Catholic school and church ⛪️ growing up, and the priests at St. Albert the Great Church used a bowl and pitcher like that with the Christogram on it when they washed their hands ✋️ before serving the Holy Sacrament of Communion to us in church. ☝️✝️ 💜*

Love your auction finds. They’re gorgeous. Welcome Tater. He and Peaches are precious. Hope they become the best of friends. We have 4 rescues and just love them. Saw a sign the other day while out thrifting that said “Cats are like potato chips, you can’t have just one.” 😂. Your display looks great Chris. 😊

Congratulatoons on the newest family member. They are both just beautiful. Glad Tater found a wonderful forever home.

Awwww! Welcome home Taterbug! ❤Many years of happiness and cuddles Yvonne and Chris! .... and the extra shops on your property 🤯 You have found the perfect home on acreage. So happy for you!

The IHS set may have been used in a baptism ritual.

The Iron Stone IHS, “In His Service…” I’ve never seen anything like it…what a find!!

Tater is beautiful. I would say he loves his new home.

The IHS means In His Service. ❤

Welcome tater. My daughter in law fosters kittens. 75 kitties so far.

My suggestion on the small white washstand is to keep the harps and put a dowel towel rack there instead of a mirror. Keep it intact! I would also put feet on it to raise it up. It would be adorable in a kitchen

I ve been watching your vids for over a year now and never comment but we just adapted a rescue a week ago he is 3 and there is nothing like a new fur baby.

The Ironstone is usused for baptisms. the letters IHS Can be found in the Catholic Encyclopedia

The monogram on the ironstone with the Cross and the letters IHS- stands for “In His Service”

What a sweet kitten!

A beautiful little kitten!

Aww congrats on your new fur baby! Thanks for giving a shelter animal a home!

Tell Chris”Let’s go Lions”. Yes we’re Lion fans even though we live in Pennsylvania. ❤❤❤❤

Hi there. I am from Namibia and my daughter and I have six cats. Love them to bits.

I really like Chris's trucks...especially the crane. Like the small dresser.

Chris's collection would look sooo good displayed in the wagon, I wouldn't be able to let the wagon or the trucks go!

What a cute boy!!! They’re like potato chips, you can’t just have one!!

Congrats 🎉 on the new family member. Sweet boy found the best family to spend his life with. ❤️

Congratulations Tater is an adorable addition to the family

Tater looks like an absolute joy, just like my tuxedo cat Iggy. Tuxedo cats have loving, quirky personalities.

Love the name Tator! That is awesome.lucky Kitty. Nice display Chris. Thanks

They are so cute to watch but l love my dogs as I love animals being they know how to love. Everybody needs to have things in their life that makes them happy. 😊😊😊😊😊

Tater is just adorable. His little fave reminds me of our Ranger. We’re down t only one cat now, Little , and I’d love to bring home mother one. Unfortunately, we’re not sure Little Kitty would accept another Kitty. But Tater looks like he’s fitting and settling in with Peach just fine. They’re both precious though!

Great antique truck display! Sweet kitty 💕

Congratulations Tater, you hit the jackpot with this new home 😍😍😍

Tator, welcome to our homes with Peach!!❤

I am a dog person.... but it was still fun to watch the kitties...Tator's fur is adorable. Chris was sweet to play with him.

Aww nothing better than a new furbaby❤

Kitty's sets so fun to watch playing with their toys!

The old trucks are actually beautiful. The kitty is too. Couldn't have left him behind. Hope you don't have jealousy problems like we do with our brother/sister adopted duo.

Awwwwww, I love your new baby 🥰 I so happy Peach, has a new friend 🥰

I love the trucks, if I was displaying the crane I would leave it on the end turned inward and I would have the dump truck on the other side with the bed up. It will create two facing angles.

IHS with the cross is a monogram symbolizing Jesus Christ. Called a Christogram and is an ancient way of writing the word "Jesus Christ" Welcome Tater...you're so cute!

Congratulations on the very cute, cuddly and loving addition to your family!

Nothing better than the love of a cat😻🇨🇦❤️

Immaculate heart of Mary is the wash basin

There's something sweet about cats.

He responds to it still! No it doesn’t bother him. He’s a really good young man, love him Sony he!

Tater looks like a sweet kitty and I love how Peaches always shows up for videos !

Thank you for opening your home to a new kitten. I love cats. We have four. Smokey, Bandit, Dixie and Hank. We adopted two of them and the other two were dumped off at our house. I love them so much. I wish we could afford more.

Aweee I love the new kitty his markings are so cool!!❤..and the trucks be still my ❤

Oh I love you for a playmate for Peach! He is so cute!!! 🖤🤍

Just love your collection of old trucks! I had several stolen from my yard that I had let my grandkids play with on a gravel pile we had. I live on a private road thought I’d be safe guess not. Now I worry about all my other yard art old plows wind mills wagons and bicycles and my favorite an old John Deere peddle tractor that finally died but is parked under the trees.

Another amazing auction haul and an adorable addition to the family. Tater is going to be a big boy. I hope Peach and Tater become the best of friends. 😻❤

The kitties made me smile!! Thank you for sharing so much for sharing that with us. Love the old toys. Yes! I love the toy truck models in the door way!!

The crane needs to stay. The dump truck with back popped up too!

Omg! Tater is absolutely gorgeous, he looks like my Donny and Peach looks like my sweet Foster who I lost in 2021. So happy for all of you.

Oh my goodness, adorable ❤ them playing with that toy had me laughing out loud, so cute

IHS is In His Service. This used to wash hands before sacraments . A beautiful find.😊

Love those big “cabinets you put in your booth. Looks like Tater has made himself at home. Hopefully, he and Peach will start hanging out together soon.

Awesome so excited for you new kitty.

Ooh congratulations! That is a wonderful. Many blessings to you also. That is a Catholic, a bowl and pitcher set. It's for the priest to wash his hands during the communion ritual

That initialed pitcher and bowl look like a baptismal set or for use in a religious order. IHS is from the Greek word for Jesus. Tater is adorable!

You're so sweet to share space with Chris. I share with my husband too. I know some women who won't. Y'all are so sweet together. ❤

I believe the monogram is “In His Service”. Maybe for a minister or priest, or it could have been used in a church.

Tater is a lucky boy to be in a loving family. He’s definitely a cutie. Love Peaches new toy. Entertain them both for hours. Who says cats don’t have personality, they sure do. I have to agree with you Yvonne. Chris needs his space for his goodies (collectibles) I like where you placed them in the entry way. But between you n me I know you’ll treak them some 😁) I love your porcelain chamber pots. They are beautiful. I have a few small Ironstone but nothing like the tall ones with handles. Have a wonderful week. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟🐱

In his service is the monogram and is used to baptize babies, etc in a church. Methodist for sure have this monogram on most of the hymnals, pews, linens…

❤❤❤tater is going to have such a good home

Excited, I’m taking my grands tomorrow to Our local humane Society to hopefully score a kitten 🐈‍⬛

The ironstone set may be a baptismal font and the pitcher to fill it. We Methodists don’t need a lot of water to baptize someone 😉

We used to do cat rescue. We no longer have any, and I sure miss them.

Aww a little tuxedo kitty I had one he was the cutest thing we named him Oreo. He had the greatest little personality, but I couldn’t keep him in the house, and he got lost sadly.

Love the names Peach and Tater.

Hi Yvonne, thanks for sharing your sweet fur babies with us enjoyed them so very much. Just an idea with Chris's display how cute it would be to add your sweet littles that you collect. I can totally see you decorating the back of the truck seasonally and add a little cat to the back of the truck how sweet would that be. Cant wait to see what you do if you change. It is absolutely beautiful as is but your touch would take it up a notch and would be adorable! The Childs dresser would be so cute if you add a small board instead of a dowel rod and add little hooks to the board for child tea cup and tea kettle it would kind of be like a Childs dry sink, just an idea.........Thanks for sharing always enjoy your videos so much. I get so excited when you upload video as I enjoy your journey and you taking us along. Take good care!!!!!

The wooden bowl is an old butter bowl, used to roll the moisture out of butter in! I have my great grandparents bowl and love it!!

Tater is adorable. Peach will be a good big brother.

Yes after Christmas decor is down I rearrange a lot !!!!!! Love the old toys ❤

Wow, look at those trucks!

congratulations on your family member! He’s so cute! ❤😻

We have the "IHS" on our tablecloths that we use at church when having communion. It stands for "In His Service". I wonder if your pitcher was used in communion service.

Love your new addition, adopting is the way to go.

The pitcher and basin may have been used in a communion service for the priest to wash his hands prior to serving communion to the congregation.

Those bowls is what we had at Ball State University at the dorm for salads.

Hi Tater! I absolutely LOVE cats. Unfortunately, I’m highly allergic. I grew up having cats in the house but as an adult developed a severe allergy 😢😢😢. There is a neighborhood cat that sleeps under my car in the carport and whenever s/he chooses me for the night I’m always excited 😊

Love the new addition to your family!🐈 He’s so sweet.

Hmm just wondering if instead of mirror (on the small dresser) missing it could have a bee towel bar... So adding a bar is a win win!!!❤ And really cute and worth more !!!

So cute that Tater looks like Chris and peach is a ginger too! Sweet!

Oh my goodness, Tater is adorable! Congratulations on the new family member

The windmill looks great! ❤

I love old metal toys.

Congratulations on your adoption of Tater. He is gorgeous! And seems like a real sweet baby boy. No doubt within a short time Peaches and Tater will be friends.

Wonderful new addition to your family. Love the name. You and Chris are so thoughtful of each other. Warms my heart.

Awh! Sweet baby!

What a score with those old trucks! Wow! 👍🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Great job on your treasures Chris, Yvonne so awesome to have Chris decorating with his own treasures 😊

I'm in Davison Michigan. Thank you for all your wonderful decorating vintage ideas also. Just awesome finds.

Love all the trucks and cars! Very cool! ❤

Such a sweet addition to your family, he is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing him with us!❤❤

Beautiful cat love the name,

Congrats on your new family member. Cats are the greatest

❤ the 3 drawer dresser!
