Peaceful Sunday

      Hello everyone,

        I hope you are enjoying a relaxing

Sunday.

         I am sharing some photos that bring

     back good memories for me and I

hope you will enjoy them too.

Obviously, these photos are not new

this year as we are months away from

lilac season here.

This was taken at the cottage last

year.

This is the bunkie at the cottage.

It has soothing blue and white colore

and is a favorite spot for our grandchildren

to hang out in summer.

Tea and lilacs.

                                                                  

                                                             

Tea and garden roses on the porch.

                                                           

The chaise in our bedroom both

above and below. It is a great

spot for a relaxing tea.

Our little Gardener's Cottage

all in white.

It is hard to believe we are

saying goodbye to January already.

Thank you for popping by today

and I hope you are having a

relaxing,peaceful day!

Take care,

      Carolyn

                                                      

               

                                                              

My Red and White Transferware

Hello everyone,

I am finally getting around to

sharing my red and white

transferware collection

as promised a few weeks

ago.

I know some of you have seen bits

and pieces over the years.

As, you can see I have a mix of

old and new transferware.

The above teapot is very old

and comes from Japan.

I have been collecting it

for several years now,

often one piece at a time.

The big platter came from

an antique shop in Old

Quebec.

It is a Vista by Mason.

This pretty  covered vegetable bowl

was a gift from a friend.

Some of you have asked where I

store it all and I have them on 

display in two glass door

cupboards and  some

on the walls.

I love this square platter also

a Vista by Mason.

This small soup tureen sits on the

wall display in the first photo.

A peek inside.

This corner cabinet is also

full of china but a mix of

lovely treasures.

An Old British Castles Tea.

I have several transferware

teapots both big and small.

This pattern is called

Florance and I have

several cups and

saucers that I lucked

into at a thrift store.

I wanted to share this photo

again as it shows the two

cupboards full of my

red and white transferware.

Don't worry, my tree is gone

now.

I like finding little ways to

display my china around

the kitchen so I can enjoy

it everyday!

I hope you are doing well.

It is hard to believe that we

are a year into our pandemic.

I didn't think a year ago that we would

be still dealing with it, but at least

there is hope now.

We have been so fortunate on our

little Island but we are also very

careful to wear masks  sanitize and

keep our distance .

Take good care,

Carolyn
