Blue & White Toile and Transferware



                                                               Hello everyone,
               I am back with' the rest of the story' as we take a look around the rest of the Gardener's Cottage today. This little cottage in our garden has had several looks over the years but this is the first time for blue and white. One of the nice things about a white background is how easily it can get a new look-so,I borrowed a few things from the house. Do you remember my $2. braided mat-it goes well with the toile quilt that I have had for years.
                                                A spot of tea,anyone?
                              It is so peaceful in here with only the sound of birds singing and a warm breeze coming in.
                                Don't you just want to curl up with a pretty magazine?
                                        I love these thrift shop dishes.


             The little blue and white transferware pitcher was a favorite find on a trip to Maine a few years ago.


                              I have just the magazine for you-a Victoria with one of the most beautiful covers. I love the cover picture so much I think I would have bought it just for that reason but there are lots of pretty pics inside too.




 I hope you enjoyed another peek at some of my blue and white in the cottage.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Carolyn

I indeed DO wish to curl up on that beautiful bed in that gorgeous cottage room and chillax!

I get Victoria mag and that was truly one of the prettiest covers they ever had, agreed - and looks SO PERFECT with your new blue and white look.

LOVE the tea set.

Yes, I could definately stay there a nice long relaxing while, thank you, Carolyn!

Lovely, lovely, lovely--today's and yesterday's posts. And what a coincidence...I just posted a blue and white table too! Please stop by and visit. I love your dish "drainer." If you visit me, also look for the white wood holder I have on my wrought iron shelf--I use it for dishes as well, for buffet serving too. I love your cottage. What beautiful things you have! ~Zuni

Wow, the blue and white is beautiful! I'm in the process of choosing colours for a new room in our home, you've definitely given my inspiration!

Jo said...

What a beautiful little cottage! I've always loved the blue&white look ever since I was 15 and got my may issue of Victoria magazine.

Speaking of magazines, I discovered you via the Saltscapes magazine that my Nova Scotia-born friend lent me. We're planning to move to PEI if/when my husband can find a job there. Thanks for sharing your portion of the island's beauty.

What an absolutely GORGEOUS blog! I love blue toile and blue transferware, so today's post was especially appealing. It must be glorious living on Prince Edward Island! It's on my bucket list of places to visit!
I hosted an Anne of Green Gables tea party on Saturday and blogged about it today. You have so many followers it's impossible to visit everyone's blog, but if time permits I'd love to have you stop by to see my Anne tea. It was so much fun to host. ~ Phyllis at http://relevanttealeaf.blogspot.com
