    Do you ever use any of those dishes to make a meal fancy? You’ve got many pretty pieces.
    Enjoy the weekend, Claudia.

      Not really – we eat on trays in the den!

      I just like pretty dishes.

      Stay safe, Ellen.

    lovely photos, claudia. i am particularly liking the colors, all of them, the mix of them, and especially the mint and teal of the pottery (as well as the pattern of the dish behind them) in the top photo and the pale green look to the table in the bottom photo.

    also, is that ruby?

    thanks for the peek at some of the sweetness in your home.

    happy, safe weekend to everyone.

    Love the photos, especially the Rose of Sharon. I have to research if they’ll grow well in my area.

      Yes! (Though it’s technically for all the girls.)

      Stay safe, Ceci.

      That’s a pattern called Rose Chintz by Johnson Bros. My grandmother used this pattern. Several years ago, I purchased as much of it as I could find. They’re our everyday dishes.

        thanks, claudia.

        sure don’t need any more dishes here, but that one is so pretty, i might have to go find one to hold a few little things. if i find some “rose chintz”, do you need more to complete the set?

          No, thank you. I do not need even more dishes here in the cottage!

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
