Merry Christmas from our House to Yours !

On December 24, 2017 By // No comments:

Merry Christmas!

Once again December has passed by

quickly and now it is Christmas Eve.

Since we have a big family it

is always good to have as much

preparation for Christmas dinner

done before Christmas day arrives.

So, one of things I like to have done

is to have our tables moved and chairs

brought up from the basement for all

so we have seating for all of us!

Our dining area tree.

I used my red and white transferware
again this year....it is my biggest collection.

We use two rooms.

I keep it simple as no one

wants to spend hours on

cleanup.

There is some stormy weather

headed our way so hopefully

it holds off until late in the

day so travel is good.

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas
and many blessings in the New Year!
Thank you to all who visited me this year
and thanks to all who leave nice comments
all year.

Love,
Carolyn

A Friendly Village Christmas

On December 15, 2017 By // No comments:

Hello everyone,

On this cold wintry day it is nice
to be cozy indoors.
I have set the table with some
of my Friendly Village china today
from Johnson Brothers. It is always
pretty but especially at Christmas.

I used silver chargers along with

silver stars etc.

It is a good day to enjoy
tea by the fireside.

I made some gingerbread cookis
to go with our tea.

Friendly Village teacups and a
small Friendly Village teapot.

A Christmas arrangement with fresh
greens adds a cozy look .

So nice to have a little time to
relax during this busy season.

I hope you all have a wonderful
weekend !

Take care,

Carolyn

Red & White Christmas Tablescape

On December 12, 2017 By // No comments:

Hello everyone,

I am back again and this time it is

Christmas in the kitchen/dining room,

along with my red & white transferware.

A red and white transferware tablescape
is set for dinner.

I have a lot of my red and white

transferware on display all year

in the dining area of our kitchen.

Yard sale and thrifty cupboards

display my transferware.

The Christmas tree in the bay
window again this year.

My transferware is a mix of

old and new as well as patterns.

We had the two cupboards built in

about 12 years ago and they are

perfect for storing and displaying

my red and white transferware.

I confess I love all transferware so
I have smaller collections of other
colors as well but that is another day!

Do you collect transferware too?

Thank you for visiting!

Transferware Lunch in the September Garden

On September 10, 2017 By // No comments:

Hello everyone!

I hope your weekend is going well.

Although we still have lovely days in

September there is signs of approaching

autumn so it is nice to enjoy these sunny

but cooler days in the garden as much as

possible.

So, I thought I would share one of my

favorite tablescapes from a couple

of years ago in our September garden.

I have always loved variations of the
Cabbage Rose pattern and have collected
bits and pieces over the years.

My friend Snow and I had fun setting
the table out under the old apple trees
in our garden where it was nice and
shady on a perfect September day.

We layered the table with linens and lace.

A bouquet of flowers from our garden
and my red and white transferware were
used.

We had a great harvest of cherry tomatoes.

You can see our Gardener's Cottage in
the background.

Some fresh rustic bread

It was a beautiful day to enjoy a
late summer lunch in the garden.

my favorite summer garden tablescapes

My thoughts and prayers are with
all of you who are effected by the
Hurricanes and hope you will all
be safe.

Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn
