pink is the color on the farm this year......
it is very unlike me to do so, but I'm really enjoying embracing such femininity lately....
today is windy.......cold......rainy.......and these roses
(three light pink for the boys + 2 darker pink for the girls)...are so fragrantly sweet (as are my children)
and I'm sure you are all tired of seeing the sale preparations and peeks!!
********so let's not talk about the barn sale for a few secs********
shopping recently at a local antiques store (go figure) brought me upon a set of dishes that I knew were coming home with me asap...
they are American made, from early 1900's......

how can anyone buy new dishes? when the antiques stores are abundant with such fantastic pieces!! Not like I needed any more dishes......
but how could I resist these with their loveliness?
for tea.....dinner parties outdoors......for even my morning muffin
it makes my kitchen
I had a lovely time (with some serious discussions) with a very intelligent, talented, and down to earth girl......Jen.....
she "just gets" so much of the organic thing
she very much impressed me with her openness of talking about it - smartly -
yesterday Jen came with some of her items for the sale, and I'm looking forward to the time when I can "sit campfire style" Friday night with her and just chat
(after the sale is done Friday night and all the guests have gone)
thanks Jen, for a wonderful afternoon! I truly hope you enjoyed your stay at the farm
(serious conversations and all)
much love and peace...
Oh my goodness....that caddy and those dishes are so pretty ....your kitchen is sheer heaven!! LOVE this post,just wanted to pop by and say hi,got about half an hour till John gets back from Lowes and then we are back at it...I can not wait to show you our sunroom,I am so excited!Hope your day is as lovely as they come,xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh I love those dishes and the caddy! You can just package it right up and send it this way. lol I wouldn't have been able to resist those either! I've been on the lookout for dishes to replace my every day ones. Something not too precious, that are simple. I refuse to buy new, I want to find older ones.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!

I'm with you! I'm falling in love with pink all over again. I really cant decorate too much with it because it would throw the balance off with the males in the house...ha...but I do sneak it in where I know I can get away with it. Your flowers are just beautiful! xoxox Susie
ReplyDeleteYou're right, you couldn't resist those wonderful dishes!!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful.

Hi Anne Marie
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a wonderful mothers day as well...
I agree with you about buying new dishes, the old ones are just too wonderful to settle for anything less. And I love to mix them, I don't think things have to be the same or match all the time.
Your sale looks like it is coming along nicely and it looks like so much fun. I had made plans to come with my friend Betty but I now am going to be in Minnesota that weekend. My daughter has planned a birthday party for my two grand daughters and I can't miss it. I will be sorry to miss your event.
It will be such a wonderful fun time for everyone, I know you have worked hard and I thank you so much for inviting me.
Many blessings
Rebecca
