White on White



My latest charity shop find is a beautiful white linen tray cloth for my huggggggeee collection. I only collect white on white and they are not easy to find any more. In my last home in the city I had a large bedroom and could keep the cupboard doors open to show of my treasures ....sadly now it is in an unused room in a corner!

Roses from David

    I think the white on white pieces are so beautiful. Try to use that open cabinet somewhere. It sounds lovely. Susan

    I love white on white embroidery and have quite a few pieces but several of them are badly stained. I'm so afraid to use bleach on them. What do you do? Besides feed your adorable chickens and admire your gorgeous flowers and your stunning collection of antique books. Swoon.

    Your dead cat! We have dead cats all over the house at times. If they start stinking, I guess we'll bury them. But, so far so good...

    I love the white on white linens and have several passed down to me, not realizing how special they are and hard to find. Your new one is pretty! LOVE your Spring gardens and you fluffy kitty!

    Lovely flowers, especially the roses. Love roses. The photo with the books took me back to my childhood. "The Water Babies" by Charles Kingsley. One of my favourite childrens books. You don't see it now. I am also a fan of white on white you can't beat it for a classy look. 😊
