Hello everyone,
I hope you all enjoyed a lovely weekend. We took some time off from our project and enjoyed our weekend. Since it is Mosaic Monday and Show off Your Cottage Monday I thought I would join in both today.
The mosaic above is my Valentine gift from my beloved-it is a beautiful white orchid and a pretty new teapot(one can never have too many)!
The grocery store had some pretty potted roses so I couldn't resist as I will divide it in two or three when it is warm enough to plant out doors and with luck it will bloom for years in the garden. Since I love roses and teacups I brought out my yellow teacups to make this mosaic for you.
I always love an opportunity to share my red and white transferware collection.
I finally have enough to fill the shelves in between the cupboards. Now,I am thinking a third shelf would look good!
This gravy boat was a gift from my sister in law.
The pitcher and basin came from Coulson's in Summerside=it seems that is where a lot of my treasures come from and at very reasonable prices too.
This teapot I found in an antique mall in Maine.
I love finding ways to display my china so this was a find for me!
I remembered this morning that some of you asked to share my view on the movie Dear John and I have to confess I liked the book much better. I think I could only rate it a 6 out of 10 but maybe my expectations were too high since I loved the book!
So, there is lots for you to enjoy at the Little Red House and also at Cielo's House in the Roses.
Thank you Mary and Cielo for hosting

Thank you for visiting me,

ReplyDeleteI love the display of your red transfer china.
I often buy the small rose plants and when they are past their best indoors I plant them in the flower bed or in a pot in the garden and they grow very well.

What a beautiful Valentine's Day gift and I can only oogle longingly at your collection.I will need to move into a mansion to find space for these beautiful things... a few years ago when I moved into my apt.I bought all white crockeries.As the years passed, I have acquired as set of Rose china tea cups but I really have to restrain myself from adding more things to my shelves...
ReplyDeleteabsolutely gorgeous collection and display!
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteit is so amazing how much transfare- ware you have! And you displayed it all beautifully. Thanky you for your get-well wishes. Got a bad sinusitis and my head feels like a big balloon. Can't hear anything, smell anything and my nose feels like corked but today the sun is shining and that lifts my mood :0) hugs, Mira!
Gorgeous as usual, Carolyn.... and thanks for participating in our "Show Off Your Cottage Monday".... may your day be filled with joy!

Oh, I missed mentioning how I love your new music... it inspire me... thanks you my friend... may our Father continue to bless you and yours...

I'm way behind you in collecting the red transferware....I just recently realized that I was "in love" with it. I found two C/S at an ant. mall recently in the Castles of England pattern. They are wonderful...and I will be keeping my eyes open for more, but only at bargain prices. Well, if I find something I can't live without...it just might come home with me, even if it's not a bargain! Happy Tues. Dana
ReplyDeleteOrchids are stunning!! I'm soo looking forward to the early lilies here!!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots and that creamy lite yellow rose is so soft.
with love,
Olivia

Hello, Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteYour china is so very pretty! I am a dishaholic so I never tire of seeing pretty dishes! Your blooms are gorgeous, too, and they are certainly warming up this cool, blustery day here in Texas! I hope you have a beautiful week! Vicki
Hi Carolyn!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I stopped by! Your red transferware collection is just wonderful!! I could only dream to have such a beautiful collection! Oh... but I am working on it!! Beautiful post and always a joy to stop by!! Hugs!
Gorgeous pictures, and mosaics. Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, dear Carolyn. Your images are such a lovely way to begin my day.
ReplyDeleteI must tell you that I think I am in love with the yellow teacup and saucer on the left of your second mosaic. It is gorgeous.
You have a lovey blog. I am a new visitor and signed up to follow. Your home is so beautiful. I love transfer ware also but do not have nearly as much as you. Maybe I should become more active in collecting again. I would love to display them the way you did.
ReplyDeleteCome on over for a visit at my blog - Chicory Nits.
