In the keeping room is a cupboard with my collection of California Provincial by Metlox-Poppytrail.
Some pieces were given to us by my mother-in-law when we were first married and I fell in love with the pattern. Roosters, right up my alley!

Standing at the kitchen door, it was early morning when I noticed them.
Pink, delicate, and shining bright in the morning light,
so I brought a few in...

While visiting my sister on the farm
we decided to take a trip to town for a little antique shopping.
I have been searching for a little something for display on the kitchen island and this antique scale with brass bowls will be perfect.
I have already polished the bowl on the right
and once I regain the strength in my arm (it took a long time!) I will do the other one...

Dishes!
Blue & White or Red & White,
I love them both!
The back splash behind my kitchen sink is bead board and for a little decoration hangs this red & white dish.
For Christmas every year, it stays right where it is, but gets a little sprucing up with some berries!
A simple touch that adds a festive touch! So, where are you adding berries?
Love your visits & comments...

Lenox Winter Greetings...
We had a wonderful time at the Christmas Tea Festival of Tables.
We had a wonderful time at the Christmas Tea Festival of Tables.
You may remember from an earlier post that for this church event the ladies host and decorate the tables, there is entertainment and a guest speaker, and the men of the church serve the ladies...cool huh! There were 50 tables hosted this year!
Anyway, my point is that I posted about me being in crazy mode trying to at the last minute decide
how to decorate my table, but it f-i-n-a-l-l-y came together!
Before we get to the table I would love to share with you the precious ladies who were my guests. My daughter is to my right, my mother is sitting in front of me and the other three ladies are sweet friends of mine. This evening was full of beautiful tablescapes, special friends, precious family and inspiration for the REAL reason for this Christmas season...it was a wonderful!

The theme for my tablescape was "Heaven and Nature Sings." The centerpiece was made with branches from my garden. They were spray painted white and then a brushing of glitter was added. The branches were adorned with glittery white and red birds sitting atop nests made with silver tinsel boa pieces and little glittery eggs.
A mirror is used under the centerpiece. There is a nativity set on one side and a white glitter deer on the other side. There are sparkly little white birds and gold birds placed here and there around the centerpiece along with small tea light candle holders and little sparkly crystals. Red ribbons were added to the chair backs as a finishing touch.
When the lights were dimmed the glow of the candles and shimmer of glitter really made the tablescape sparkle. There were so many amazing ideas for Christmas table decorating, so stay tuned! I'll be sharing more with you soon...
Here is my 2010 tablescape for the Christmas Tea!
I appreciate your sweet comments, they mean so much to me!

I was so happy when my mother gave me Aunt Myrtle's corner hutch and thrilled beyond measure when she gave me Granny's dishes! My momma says that grandaddy purchased these dishes from a jewelry store and she was just a little girl when she remembers grandaddy bringing them home to Granny. I love having family pieces in my home, they bring back memories of special people and wonderful days gone by.
This cabinet is the perfect place for them. I am glad that this cupboard has glass on all sides and especially like that the cabinet lighting shines through each glass shelf to shine on all of Granny's dishes.
This china was my Granny's best. I have many wonderful memories of my grandparents and visiting them was one of my fondest childhood memories that I will always cherish. When the family would gather for meals in their little house, some would sit at the dining room table, some at the kitchen table and a few used trays in the living room. We shared some amazing meals on Granny's best. We never thought her home was too small or too cramped. Those days we realized how thankful we were to have a home and cherished the time we had with family. The size of home nor the furnishings were our concern, it was the blessing of having each other. So often I find myself pondering those times, they were so special. Granny's cooking, served on her pretty dishes, and all of the family together in her little home...it was absolutely PERFECT! Priceless!
My granny was so sweet, humble and my could she cook! What was my favorite dish you ask, well dessert of course! Granny's banana pudding was my favorite and it was yummy! She made it from scratch and it was cooked, no box pudding here. Once when asking for another serving of her banana puddin' I mistakenly asked for more puddin' pie. She got the biggest giggle out of that and it stuck. She would always smile when speaking about how I loved her puddin' pie! I sure do miss her.
My grandparents were amazingly sweet and I miss them more than words could ever express.
I feel so blessed to have been given Granny's dishes, thanks so much momma, I will treasure them all of my days!
Has my Granny's dishes or her puddin' pie brought one of your loved ones to mind? Please feel free to share your memories, do share...and for Myrtle's Corner hutch post go here.
Love your sweet comments, you are so kind!
Blessings,
Cindy
