Hello everyone,
Today is the day for Shelia's Heart of the Home Party and we are to share our favorite cupboard. I think some of you have already seen this cupboard before but I hope you don't mind another look. This cupboard was built about six years by my husband and a friend of my sons. It is a great place to store my collection of red and white transferware which I have collected over the past several years.
I have opened the doors for a better look.
Some of the dishes are very old like these but others are new.
While we are here I might as well show you my cupboard full of teacups. Some of these were given to me and others are thrift finds.
I hope Shelia doesn't mind me showing a few cupboards as I thought you dish lovers might like to enjoy a peek at these too.This is an old pine cupboard that I painted last year for my pink and white china.
A closer look
One last cupboard- can you tell I love dishes?
Now that I have kept you you might as well have a cup of tea!
.
Also,I am joining TeaTime Tuesday again at Sandi's Rose Chintz Cottage.Thank you Sandi, you know how we all love our tea time!
It is also Show Off your Cottage Monday at Cielo's lovely house in the roses so there is lots for you to check out today!
Have a good day!

I have the exact same tea pot. It's so pretty!
Well, you know I LOVE your red transferware! The cupboards that your hubby built are wonderful and such a lovely focal point in your dining room. The china in the other cupboard is beautiful too. I think you said at one time it was your MIL's pattern? Loved seeing all your china once again and thanks for joining me for tea.
Blessings,
Sandi

I loved viewing your beautiful dish collection Carolyn. You have a very talented hubby, lovely cupboard. Take care, Jen.

Gorgeous!!!!
This is the first time that I've seen these cupboards. The first one is absolutely amazing, built by your husband and son! The cupboard filled with teacups is beautiful. I must confess, I love teacups. Just something about them. You have a wonderful collection. I have some of my mother's teacups, and I'm always looking for thrift finds as well. I thought you did have a bit of nasty weather on the weekend as well. Take heart, I know Spring is around the corner!
Happy Week,

You know I love your home and cupboards and dressers dont' you? I wish I had an old country house with a vintage kitchen and cupboards. I hope to replicate that with our new kitchen in a not so old house very soon. I always feel welcome in your home through your pictures. Very lovely. Have a wonderful week, Pamela
Love your collection of dishes. I especially love your red and white transferware collection. Everything looks so elegant. Diane

Every photo is gorgeous! I have a plethora of teacups from my grandmother, but I don't have them displayed nearly as lovely. Thank you for the enjoyable post.

Hello Carolyn,
you own a stunning collection of wonderful tea china. Your cabinets look very adorable.
Greetings, Johanna
Beautiful cabinets filled with absolutely beautiful china! Just divine!yvette@twistedvines
Oh, how I wish I had cupboards like yours...filled with all that beautiful china. What a wonderful talented hubby and friend to build this piece of fine furniture for you!
Hi Carolyn
I enjoyed peeking into your cupboards to see your china. It's amazing how a coat of paint can transform a piece and after seeing how you paint old cupboards is what inspired me to finally tackle mine.
Judith
How beautiful ! You have an awesome collection !

Hi carolyn, Your cupboards are so beautiful! Your china collection is so gorgeous.
Kathy
I must say that your husband and friend did a wonderful job with the cupboards, wish mine was a handyman.... You have a great collection of bonechina cup and saucers...you must drink a lot of tea......I am English I was brought up on tea.....but I now live in Italy and we drink more coffee.. Ciao Alison
Você tem a coleção de xícaras mais lindas que já ví.Parabéns!!!!
I like that you've used different patterned lace to decorate the shelves. Mine are all the same pattern but I like this idea better. I also like the way you've displayed the tea cups. xx
Oh, Carolyn.....I love dishes too, but don't have all the disply cupboards you do. Think I'm gonna have to do something about that!!

Hi Carolyn,

I just came to your website through pinterest and I'm here moaning and swooning and drooling over your gorgeous china collection. I have some, but not as much as you. I'm here complaining to my husband that of course in your Prince Edward Island (anne of green gables country) you will find nice china tea set stuff, but not in hick country Oklahoma.
