Red and White Transferware at Christmas






Hello everyone,

I have been doing some decorating for
Christmas lately as I like to get it done
early so I can enjoy it.

So,today I am sharing part of my collection
of red and white transferware with a few
Christmas touches which I think is all
it needs .




                                                                 This beautiful old platter in an
                                                                antique shop in old Quebec a
                                                                couple of years ago.It is Mason~
                                                                Vista made in England.

A mix and match of red
and white china. with a
few sheep and little Christmas
trees



                                                                       The beautiful cream and sugar
                                                                       were a Christmas gift from a
                                                                       good friend. They are Mason ~ Vista.



My toile Father Christmas is
back in the kitchen .....
     I always enjoy seeing him again.

Last year at Christmas I had my teal green
and white on display on this shelf ~ you
can check it out here if you like.

Take care,

        Carolyn

Our Guest Bedroom




        Hello everyone,

   A few days ago I made a few changes
in our guest bedroom.
Nothing major...... just moved the antique
bed so that it is on an angle on the other
side of the room.

                                                                             
Our home is a farmhouse and is almost
    100 years old. It is not fancy but it is 
comfortable.
I am adding a few Christmas touches
to the room. 


A tea tray.....I must be on a 
diet today, no scones!
                                                                                   
The wallpaper has been on for
several years now.
I bought the toile wallpaper for
$2 a double roll at Mardens
in Bangor.
The comforter and shams were
a thrift shop find.

You might have noticed my passion
for transferware and toile,

                                                            The handmade bedspread was a $5.
                                                             yard sale find~ I love it!
                                                                                 

                                                                 The armoire was turned on an
                                                                  angle also.

Just a few simple changes in our
guest gave the room a whole
new look.



                                               My thoughts and prayers are with the
                                                          people of France and we pray for
                                                          peace throughout the world during
                                                          these tragic times.

                                                                                       Take care,

                                                                                               Carolyn
