Blossoms

an antique shop which has been open for 50 years is closing so I had a good rummage (  a dirty and dusty jumbled mess) and found 3 more pieces of antique cutlery for $1 each, for my collection

Spring blossom at last

Paint and Glass

When I saw this tall jar in a charity shop I decided it would be a great idea for displaying the antique cutlery I posted about last week

At last...........no more revolting brown walls.The last rooms at the front of the house have been painted white. We don't really use these 2 rooms and they mainly house the family pieces that have to be kept

We also painted a cream chair and a gold mirror with white chalk paint

freezing cold morning

mmmmmmmmm.......Italian for dinner

Winter Blues

I love the gray/blue colour of transfer ware, common around 1900. pieces usually have beautiful delicate garden design.

 I found this vegetable dish without lid for $3 at a charity shop this week

I posted about these gorgeous  dessert dishes I found a couple of months ago, for $1 each
