Hello everyone,
Can you believe it is June already! I think June is my favorite month here on Prince Edward Island - everything is so lush and green. It is also the time when many of my favorite flowers bloom lilacs,peonies etc. but yet you know all of summer stretches out before you!
However, getting to the point of this post-I am joining in with The Tablescaper for Where do you keep it all?
So, I am showing you where most of mine is kept. In the dining area of our kitchen we have cupboards with glass doors(open for photo) where I keep my red and white transferware.
This little cupboard is not fancy but it does hold many of my teacups as you can see below.It is also in the kitchen.
The cupboard in the sun room that I showed you a couple of weeks ago hold my dainty pink and white china.
Of course, there is more china in the corner cabinets of the kitchen as well as in the cupboards.
Tho corner cabinet-I forgot to take a photo of the other one.
In the porch I have this little cupboard with my blue and white china.
In the hallway more china.
Another little corner in the kitchen holds my green and white china.
Yep! you guessed it the corner cabinet holds more china.
I opened the top door to show you.
Some of my china is on display on shelves etc. all around the house.
My brown and white tranferware displayed in our family room
Some is displayed on walls
or countertops
or table tops
or on trays
plates above windows
A better view of the built in cupboards in the kitchen. Well,that is pretty much it for me but if you go to The Tablescapers to see her amazing stash of lovely china and all the others who have joined in for this great event.
Thank you for visiting,Carolyn

Wow... you have more china than anyone I've ever known! They're all so beautiful!
P.S.- Thanks for following my blog ♥ :)
We have the same china!!!
I cannot believe i have finally found someone who like me has a china addiction but not only that has totally surpassed me in her collection!!!
I have to show this to my husband. When we moved out here from Ontario in December he was so mad at me because i had 28boxes of china and we had to let so many things go because of it ! ha !
This is a riot!
I love your collection and kitchen

Wonderful post! I love seeing how you store all your pretty china! I especially like that so much of yours is stored in plain view, so you can enjoy it all the time. Lovely!
Your China displays are TOO DIE FOR! Jealous girl here:)
Oh be still my ♥...I've died & gone to Dish Heaven!!! Everything is so beautifully displayed & WHAT A COLLECTION!! I adore every single piece, truly I do.
I am so impressed with the loving way you've draped the edges with lace & found beautiful ways to hang the cups with the saucers. I am going back for another look.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Don't look at mine...its all yucky compared to yours!!!!!
Dearest Carolyn,
I hereby dub you the China Queen!
Your china is so gorgeous and your kitchen is so pretty. So glad I got to see more of it.
Hugs, Cindy s
I have to agree with Erin, so much pretty china, patterns, storage places....
But I know you have a big family too and probably use it at some time or other.
Good heavens, I only have winter and summer dishes and that is excessive to some people!

This is such a fun meme, The Tablescaper is hosting and I'm glad you joined in! So far, you win the "prize" for having your dishes so neatly displayed even when they are inside cabinets! Gorgeous! I like how you are able to actually view so many of your collections instead of having them tucked away. Very pretty, but that's what I'd expect from you!

Wow Carolyn,
That is some collection! I love all your pieces and you have them displayed and stored so beautifully! Wonderful post!

So many dishes and so beautifully displayed! I love transferware too, although I don't have quite your collection.
I also love coming to your blog to visit the flowers. I live in Texas after years in the Midwest and I am so lonesome for peonies, lilacs, and lilies of the valley. Your gardens are incredible and such a treat.
Thank you for sharing all of your collections with us.
Your dishes are beautiful and I love the way you display and store them! Those built in cabinets in your kitchen are amazing!
Holy cow, Carolyn! I am impressed!! I truly have never seen so much china, and all so beautifully displayed. I'm in love with your kitchen. That's it, I'm packing up and moving in with you. :) How lovely you still have lilacs to look forward to. Ours are all gone. Wishing you a lovely evening and thank you as always for your sweet comments. – g
Great fun to see it all, love the table top the best, for it means you use your dishes!!!
Beautiful displays! You have lovely things!
Hi Carolyn! Oh, look at all of your storage and what pretty cabinets! You have the most beautiful china and it is stored so neatly and organized. Beauty is organized.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

I love your beautiful cabinets and all your great blue and pink dishes. Everything looks so lovely...
This is the most beautiful storage I have ever seen. What an inspiration.
Carolyn:
Thanks so much for coming and joining the party!
You have EVERYTHING so beautifully displayed. Although mine may be color coordinated, you have it all displayed so pleasing to the eye. Just lovely, like your blog!!!
I can see your favorite place to keep it all, is the same as mine - in plain sight!

Hi Carolyn,
I love how you have all your china displayed. I especially like the ornate shelf in your family room filled with the brown and white transferware! That shelf is a beautiful thing and it also looks gorgeous with your Christmas village in it! Thanks for sharing, it's all very lovely! I could not participate myself as I have a week crammed full of appointments. Have a yourself a lovely day.
Blessings,
Sandi

It is all so spectacular!! love all your lacey peice and the way you've taken such care to lovingly display it even in the cabinets to enjoy every time you open a door!!
What I wouldn't give...lovely.
I've just found your blog and I'm swooning....it's amazing. I know a couple of people with more china and accessories and there are bloggers with much more....but none are as thoughtful, well cared for, beautifully displayed and absolutely lovely as yours. Thank you for allowing others to share and feel the delight of so much beauty....in your collection and what you've done with it.
Oh my, a mistaken sign in....that's my "professional" signature above. As the wife of a retired pro football player, rough and tough is only one part of my life and it only serves to make "thoughtful loveliness" even more precious! Thank you again.
