Monday Mornin Chatter...

~ `* Good lovely Morning to you...
I'm pooped out today, we worked really hard yesterday cleaning out a room..
But thank goodness it's empty now except for a large cedar closet and some 
empty bins and one bin full of tools
and a square Oak Table which I decided to keep and paint maybe white not sure 
yet..
The photos that I'm sharing with you are from about a month ago..
and I just didn't have the time.. but I'm still at Mama's house and since my body is tired 
I thought I would sit down and share them with you...
Freesia's are just beautiful.. 
I enjoy the Garden so much..
Ready for a cuppa...
I love this teacup..I found it along time ago somewhere's
but it didn't have a saucer 
and years later I found a saucer to match I think at the Salvation Army..
I have two..
the Blue is just so rich in color..
Tea in the Garden is the best early morning when there's total peace and the birds are
chirping about... 
I keep waiting for those sweet summer mornings..
I really can't wait till I can sit on the deck at Mama's house looking out over the 
bay.. having tea..
Some new linens I found ...
The work they did back in the days was just exquisite fine and delicate..
The embroidered one is a small table topper and the other blue is a table cloth with four napkins
to match..  
******
*****
Just really lovely, I adore things like this and it's like brand new like they never used it maybe
once ....I think it will do well with my teapot...
This Blue is lovely ...
One day soon I will set my table with this table cloth and napkins...

A little more Garden..
I'm really loving this little Green house...
:)
Everything's coming up good..
****
Well I have a bunch to do today.. even though my body is saying no plz no. I still have
some other things to handle..
I wish you all a wonderful New Week
With
Love
Janice

Good Mornin.. a Bit Of Chatter..

Good mornin indeed.  it's definitely that a lovely Sunshine morning... 
Here at Mama's house
My new Grand daughter was finally born. June 11, 2:16 am.. 
9 lbs. 3 oz.
Alina
Now wonder Mama had no more room in her belly 
It's always a happy moment when a child is brought into this world..
I grandmother was very excited watching my grand daughter be born..
It's always amazing...
Mama did a great job.  
The stack boxes that are shown, I found yesterday at a Salvation Army near the hospital
where baby was born.. 
and I was also born there and all my children
I thought the little round stack boxes were so sweet.. 
Just love them.. they are well made...
They have different patterns all inside and out..
Haven't a clue what I'm going to do with them...
but it doesn't seem important
I'm just happy with them ...
I love the top of this one it has lovely Pansy's 
in Purples
I enjoy Pansy very much I have them everywhere in my Garden...
Lately I have been thinking so much about what I'm going to do 
with Mama's house and the Garden
I hope I'm able to accomplish it all
Dreams and day dreams
I think I'm finally ready to do this now...
Honestly I didn't want to come here even though I knew at one point that
I wouldn't have a choice
My Heart is ready now to move forward
I really love the way they carefully covered these little stack boxes every piece is covered
in a sweet lining..
It gives them a nice character...
When I first walked in they had a bunch of Older teacups and saucers
different patterns..
But of course for me these jumped right out at me
I have only one..
and they have three more.. Yay.. So exciting
So yes I bought the three now I own 4 Margret teacups
I just remembered that this is where I bought the first one with a stack on lunch plates
maybe over a year ago..
I had forgotten..
I love the tiny little delicate flowers that are on these..
They really speak Grandma back in time to me..
and they are
they had a large platter but it was not to great condition..
these have a bit grazing but they are just like new..
At home I have the creamer and those stack of luncheon plates
would love to find the sugar bowl..
Who knows maybe one day I will run across it..

Can't believe this is all I bought.. plus three videos
Have a most wonderful Thursday hopefully I can join you for tea in the Garden soon
but I think I'm going to be taking care of Baby Alina 
for a little bit..
with love Janice
p.s.
Right after baby came out.. skin contact..
After Daddy holding me.. My son..
Love n Hugs
and many Blessing to all.
Thank you for your sweet visits...

I love this Teapot, I love the color even I love the tiny chip on the spout... I keep saying ok that's enough.  I  have enough Teapot but then I find yet another one that I like.. This Is a Hall Teapot one of the special ones that they made I believe there were six in all... and I think I showed you this before but this morning it's in my Kitchen on top of the coffee maker.. I like to switch them from time to time... It's called the Hall Birch from 1940 ...
This Lovely Teapot is from Johnson Bros.  WindsorWare ..Blue Dover They are Tulips.. This teapot I love the deep blue in it.. I also have the matching Teacups and Saucers Sugar and the Creamer..
Though I seem to have quite a few these days ... I love each and everyone of them and I try to think I'm going to give some of them up.. But I doubt it... They will have to just find a place at Mama's house and fit in. And anyone who don't like my decor can move out..
Another new item.. is the adorable Coffee pot.On the shelf to the right... I believe it's called Tea Time..I love the ripples on the bottom and the lovely Blue flowers and leaves in cream...  I haven't been able to find any other piece to it.. I found this on Ebay...
My little pepper shaker Dutch girl.. I sure wish I could find the other half of her but shes not available either.. I think I'm just crazy over Blue & White Blue & Cream...
My Blue & White Cow Creamer... And the two Dover Johnson Bros Tea cups...
Sweet potholder that I didn't make lol....I found two at the Hospice one day across the bay..
One of my most favorite things my Coffee grinder.. I finally saw one on line after a lot of years... There is suppose to be a Blue colored lid to it.. Which I never had I found it without of my Dad's Truck..
Just of bit of Vintage potholders.. Only one I made the rest I purchased here and there... and O and little Susan Branch calendar..

My Large one.. I really love all the works that Susan put into it.. she's already been working on next year's I can't wait to see it..
It was a gorgeous day in San Francisco today.. you can still feel the heat as the sun is starting to settle.. I love hung laundry.. some new Thrift pillow cases for my Blue & White Room at Mama's.. I home that where ever you were today it was lovely weather.. I felt wonderful waking up this morning to the warm sun.. I water the Garden and washed and hung out a couple of loads they dried so fast.. Have a wonderful evening and a fabulous new week.. See you soon
with love
Janice...
