A few new red transferware finds...I just couldn't resist!

I've been really, really good about not spending money for non  necessities. But, every once in a while, when I come across something that I love and it's priced so low I just can't resist!

 Red transferware is my newest addiction and I found four beautiful pieces that I just had to add to my collection.

 This first one is my new favorite...a tiny, little creamer. I just adore it!

It's the earliest make of my four pieces.

The second is this sweet, floral, sugar bowl.

A matching cup and saucer was the third piece of my find.

#4 made my heart beat for just $10!

It's a late 1800's dinner plate....now, I have to find more!

The last one was this tiny, 2 inch, personal creamer a more modern version, but still very appealing to me.

They're all on display in our bay window.

The tiny creamer quickly found a home in our terrarium.

Here's a look at the whole vignette with my cast iron scale.

It's holding my antique, Redcliff, ironstone tureen.

Allysum is happy in my distressed terra cotta pot.

I found this precious, floral creamer at my favorite, antique shop for a mere $3. Miss Minnie's Antique's, in downtown Shallotte, is my favorite place to "score." Don't miss visiting there, if you're in the area, and be sure to tell them I said, "hello!"

and a vintage, cloth bunny.

 And the very first piece that started my collection!

More of my bay window vignette can be seen here.

I'll be back later this week to show you how my Easter tablescape turned out...here's a tiny peek!

Love, Hugs and Kisses,

Herbs, Ironstone, Pink Transferware and Spring Fever

Spring fever hit me big time, last week and I had to ditch all of the winter and Valentine's decor that was still around. After two days of making a really huge mess, packing things away, re-designing and a major clean up, this is what I came up with for our kitchen's bay window display.

Herbs, white ironstone and some vintage transferware, along with a few cast iron pieces merged together created our kitchen's indoor garden display.

Rosemary in a mini, ironstone compote and mint in a dry brushed, terracotta, pot flank my favorite, cast iron, terrarium.

A pillar candle sits on top of a stack of vintage, transferware saucers on a white burlap scrap.

A larger, ironstone, compote holds greek basil in this perfectly sunny spot.

My special, little, love birds in their natural nest.

This vintage, cast iron, scale survived many years as an outside plant holder and even as a bird feeder. Purple was it's garden color until my recent decision to paint it white and bring it inside to extend it's life.....a choice that I'm really happy I made.

Scripted, cardboard butterflies and a rusty, old hand rake brought more of the "outside" in!

An "unknown herb" of an artificial make, fakes the look of a real one ;) in my teenie, Red Cliff tureen.

Christmas cactus still in bloom is in the sunniest place in our house.

I'm happy, now, with the fresh, new, look in the brightest place of our home, sweet, home!

Another sweet spot for the love birds in their nest....it made a cute photo op!

Next up, I'll share our living room's re-do, our "springified" mailbox, yard and front porch with you. 

Love, Hugs and Kisses,

JP
