English Ironstone I wanted to update you on the ironware pitcher I purchased at Leftovers recently. Click here to see post. I bought the pitcher that is the second one down on the right in the photo below. I am really beginning to love English ironstone as much as my friend Caroline does. Here is what Martha […]

Old ironstone pitchers

This Farmhouse Inspiration post is dedicated to Candle Light. I absolutely love candles and they add such a warm and cozy feel to the farmhouse no matter what time of year. One of my very favorite things in life is watching a good movie with about a dozen candles lit...with a glass of wine of course. I like using every day items like bowls or jars for my candles but I also love using lanterns and vintage candle holders. Below is an array of different candles lit in our home through out the…

The inspiration for my table this week was this white ceramic pair of poule et coq that I just changed out from somewhere else. I thought they made a nice and simple centerpiece. Hens and roosters are seen everywhere in country style, but they are also a popular theme for French decorating. I would like to serve a nice French onion soup with a crusty cheesy topping and thought about these big soup spoons I had tucked away. I'm not a very good housekeeper and have the habit of stashing…

That doesn't stop me from looking forward to its bloom all year! There is nothing like flowers to change the whole attitude of a room, and I forget from time to time what an impact a lovely bouquet can make. I mean whole blogs are run on just armfuls of flowers! I don't know how it's done. I go through phases where I indulge regularly…

Yes, Folks! I think I've lost it or maybe I've come to my senses. I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. My Col...

Happy weekend! There were storms during the night but right now, the sun is shining! We're enjoying lilacs from the garden... Yesterday, my youngest son and I stopped by a local thrift shop and found some really beautiful antique books (Green's History of the English People). I love their aged patina and small size... What do you have planned today? We'll soon be off to our boys' baseball games and then maybe get caught up on a few things around the house... Enjoy your day! xo Sharing with…

In my attempt to give our old farmhouse a legitimate farmhouse look both inside and out, I wanted to build up a collection of white ironstone. I seem to be drawn mostly to pitchers in all shapes and sizes. Large ironstone pitchers in pristine shape are quite pricey so I decided to collect a range... Read more
