This cow was originally a creamer. There is a spout in the front and a hole behind the cow head. It belonged to my mother. When my oldest son was about two years old, he decided that he could put a straw in the hole and drink the milk. Ever since that day, the cow no longer belonged to my mother!
My son adopted this cow creamer as his "special cup" He took it home and used it for quite a long time. Eventually he found another "special cup" and we found another use for the cow creamer.
One day I was looking for something to mix up cinnamon sugar in and also dispense it onto my son's toast. Perfect! The cow creamer has been used for that purpose ever since.
I can't possibly put the cinnamon sugar in anything else because then no one will be able to find it.
After all it's been in the cow creamer since 1986!
And this morning I used it to make cinnamon rolls for my husband. It's kind of special that the grandchildren will now grow up with the Cinnamon Sugar Cow!
I love that you have a cinnamon sugar cow. I think everyone has an odd use item that everyone in the family knows about.
