Wednesday Chatter...

Good mornin,  I woke up at the crack of dawn I say...  Tried to stay in bed but It just wasn't happening.    So around 6am I got up..  And here I'am ready for the day I think...  Yesterday afternoon I decided to change my dinning room tablescape... 

      Using these ironstone plates I found last year on ebay.  For some reason they are very appealing to me, I think it is the daisy's and the soft blue.  I love daisies to start with and the touches of soft blue made me think warmth and country....

                          Later found salad plates to match....

I used a old placemat that I had only two of on each end, then on the opposite sides I used a plain ribbed square placemat ...  

      It started because I found these two large fulted glasses at the Goodwill the other day...  As you may know I love Blue glass...  And I fell in love with these two..   Thinking and teasing my daughter one day I will drink bubbly Champaign out of them...  

      See them in the center area...  They are a light blue... So pretty...

      I used my diamond cut plain glass tumblers that I found in mama things, brand new in a box and my large George Washington goblets that I found thrifting with mama back when...

      And for two settings my federal blue glass teacups which are a lighter blue and then darker blue saucers...  Found two different times thrifting but they worked just fine together...  When I found the teacups they had no saucer, but I just loved them with the thought that maybe one day I find the matching saucers, but never did...  And one day I found the two darker saucer and thought why not and they worked perfect...  So a set was born...  You never know what was meant to be until it happens....

      Then on two opposite sides I used a set of grannie teacups...  I mix matched everything...

      I used two cloth napkins a light lace one and a heavier soft blue one ...

      I love when the sun peeps about in the dinning room, it make's the blue glass so pretty..  I was trying to capture it as I was seeing it, bit it didn't work to well...

                          Nothing fancy, just plain and simple kind of country...

      So the table is set...  I have just one more area to clean and dust and that's my little ole broke down hutch that I found on dad's truck...  Full of glass that I have collected over the years...  A big chore if I decide to wash everything suppose to just dusting will see what they need...

      So that's it for Wednesday chatter, wishing you a lovely day,  just a bit of country a elegance in it's own....

                       With love... .  .   Janice

Hello Party Monday...

Good afternoon lovelies, 

                  I hope you are well this Monday afternoon...  I had a quite weekend home with just me..  Which was enjoyable...  Got some cleaning done that seemed impossible to do otherwise..  

      I used my Homer Laughlin teapot, for the first time...  It has been waiting patiently on the buffet.  So I washed her up and put her on a tray...

     Added my Hazel Sercio teacup and saucer...  Which is my most favorite of all times..  I collected these dishes over a thirty something year period of time.. Tracing around with mama in the thrift stores here and there...

     These were the last pieces I got finally years later the sugar was the hardest and most expensive of all...  The teapot is a different maker but the closes to matching the set.  As far as I know there isn't a matching teapot....

            

    The flowers are close, but a tad faded....   Flowers on the lid..  And gold trim all around...

      For years and years I called them my grannie dishes they don't have a printed name on them...   But with online searching a couple of years ago I found the name...

     So happy when I found the sugar bowl,  but it was online and the first one I saw was $54.00 dollars oh no I thought...  No way over the years I barely paid that for the whole set.. .  Finally after months and months I finally found this one for $15.00 I think it was....

      I have two of these, which this one have a thin crack the other one is perfect...  But I bet I paid something like $1.49. Big difference right...

     Tea is ready...  Awe peace and quit and a nice cuppa....

                                                ....   LOVELY  ....

         That's all dearest...   Off to do some more cleaning im the living room..  

Have a wonderful new week.       With love.   Janice...

Saturday afternoon....

      Helo everyone,   I want to thank all the new bloggers who stopped in to visit.  It was such a pleasure to have you all.  Today is just a calm family day.  Yesterday I cleaned all day some spring/summer cleaning.  The day before that I cleaned the garden..  Boy younever really realize how much stuff you have till you have to dust it all..   Phew..,  but there is only a few things that I'm thinking to rid of sorry kids he he their always complanning mom you have to much things.  Maybe so but it took a life time to gather it all..

      These little tiny pink roses I found one day a walking down a dirt road path that I used to walk up when I was a kid going to a from school as a young girl.  At that time it didn't have these flowers...

     They smell so so good..  I wanted to try and make a starter....  But I didn't get it done..

     A vintage lace dresser tray...  Found years ago on dad's truck....

      A vintage compact....

     A little silver comb case with a comb inside and a small mirror..  Also found on dad's truck...

     Large mirror with a dent in the handle it was that way when I found it..  Just gave it charm..

     I love this braclet, silver and broken vintage china heart...   All my silver is due for a cleaning...

                  HAPPY SATURDAY YA'll, HAVE A FABULOUS DAY..
