Cottage Flair...

one source, for that collection of mismatched vintage dishes, I want to to aquire

Cottage Flair

I stumbled across this...

vintage china; through a link from another gorgeous site, shabbyfabrics.com.

They have the most exquisite fabrics, I have ever seen. Visions of aprons, cloth napkins and clothes pin bags are dancing around in my head. I have a sewing machine, though sadly no skills to utilize it.

This one took my breath away, as I know the perfect place to put it. I have a rather large wicker basket, that I have turned upside down; and am using as a nightstand. The only downside is that, what ever is put on it; doesn't always stay upright. I saw this and instantly, I knew where the perfect home for it, should be. I love to dream.

Tea time and cookies




My weakness is not one of shoes or clothes; but for mixing bowls and vintage kitchen towels. I know if I ever aquire a hutch, that these most possibly; would be my newest treasures.

Quaintly mismatched




I have decided that the next set of dishes I buy, will not be perfect; as in a matched set. Should I start gathering here and there what beauties, I come upon; only to add to the ones I have. For I have my mother's wedding china; sitting patienly, for that special time it is used. The truth is it sits and sits, more time in between. Why not celebrate, its beauty, in every day.
