Blue & White Transferware Tablescape

Hello Everyone,
    It was a sunny but cold day here today but with February almost over, spring must be just around the corner! Well not quite- we did get about 15cm. of sparkly white snow yesterday and I am noticing that it is starting to accumulate. 
   Anyway, as many of you know I love transferware and although I have more red and white then any other color,I thought I would use my blue and white transferware today.

As usual I have a mix and match set.
I love soup tureens!
My husband gave me this teapot for my birthday a few years ago along with the creamer and sugar bowl.
I enjoy my tulip bouquets while waiting for our own to bloom.
My daughter had several of these teacups and passed them on to me.

I found 6 of these plates at a thrift shop.
These pretty plates came from Homesense which is the same as Home Goods in the U.S.



In the last couple of weeks I found a couple of lovely red and white transferware pieces that I am happy to have so I will have to show you those treasures soon.

Our bedroom is getting a makeover and when it is done I will also share those photos.However,it will be a week or so before it is done.
   I hear that March is coming in like a lamb tomorrow so I guess that means out like a lion!

I am joining Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday.

Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn

    Pretty, pretty, pretty, Carolyn. Love the blue transferware, even though I'm more partial to the red and white. Both are lovely, really. Thanks so much for sharing. Susan

    DO YOU COLLECT ONLY BLUE AND WHITE?? YOUR PIECES ARE LOVELY, I AM ALWAYS CURIOUS TO SEE IF PEOPLE CAN STICK TO JUST ONE TYPE OF COLLECTIBLE.

    This is a beautiful post. Love each and every piece in your collection of blue. I have a child's tea set in the blues, I must find it and make a post. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Today in FEBRUARY is was in the high 50s and I actually went to the mailbox barefoot. This is unheard of, I have cancelled March parties for snowstorms in past years, how WEIRD!!!!

    What a very lovely collection. I especially love the teapot your husband gave you...it really is a stunning piece. I love a mixed set, it always shows so much character and interest and there is always a very unique piece that takes hold of my attention. And, the pink tulips are beautiful. I am looking forward to seeing your new red and white pieces too.
    I hope you are having a lovely evening.

    Your blue and white table setting is absolutely gorgeous. I too have been bitten by the bug of collecting blue and white but it is a new collection and am trying to avoid collecting more dinner ware. I may cave.
