When vintage is in...

Not much you can say about this lovely room other than, its GORGEOUS!  I love the all white look, its no secret.  Nice balance of design and texture - wood, crystal, linen, metal and wicker. The faux fireplace is a great focal point. This is just perfect, don't you think?

Yes, please I will move in today!

Sunday breakfast...

I wanted to share pictures of my Sunday breakfast with you...I bought some fresh strawberries yesterday and had to take pictures of them - their rich red color is beautiful.  I had cereal with blueberries as well in my vintage china and a cup of tea. Won't you join me?

I love the colors of these...they match the strawberries...

Vintage tablecloth and teacup...

Farm fresh strawberries...

These images are unaltered. Since Picnik is gone, I 

don't use a program and have yet to find one. Any

suggestions?

Strawbs on my lovely little vintage plate...can you 

believe, this is a Homer Laughlin plate!

My new camera takes great pictures without having to alter

them.

Matching colors - rug, table and deer antler above...

Of course, the requisite cup 'o tea...

How is your Sunday so far? Relaxing? Finding inspiration? 

Reading a good book? Errands? Antiquing? The world is 

your oyster!

See you soon!

Saturday in the kitchen...

Nothing says vintage like a kitchen with a retro poster and blue wood floors. This lovely kitchen is totally charming with the wood counters, stools and bright yellow pendant.  The blue and yellow really make it cheery and I love that there are no built-in cabinets.  Care to join me for a coffee?

The old green table doubles as a worktop...do you like the vintage feel?

Have a great weekend! Thank you for visiting me this week and welcome new followers!

Blue & white...

These simple dishes remind me how much I love blue and white in all its different forms. I bought these vintage plates at a cool little store in Maine and love to use them everyday.  I have a thing for mismatched vintage dishes...I think I first realized I could mix my plates and dishes when I read Rachel Ashwell's first Shabby Chic book.  Do you like to use mismatched vintage dishes every day?

Pretty blue flowers on a creamy white plate...

I especially love the blues on this gorgeous plate...

Have a great Monday!

Weekend Inspiration...

I went shopping over the weekend and picked up some vintage plates...the blue and white is inspired by the new Veranda magazine which had two layouts with blue and white interiors...love these plates and the colors...do you?

Allertons Ltd. (England) Kenilworth plate above (really love this one!)

Homer Laughlin plates above (bought 4)...

The blue and white plates (Homer Laughlin again on the far right) inspired by Veranda, just visible above the plates -

Blue and white plate with room inspiration...

The light outside was a little tricky, so the picture-taking was challenging...do you like blue and white as well?

PS: I was not going to renew Veranda, but I read that Dara Caponigro will be the new editor...she was a big part of Domino, so I don't want to miss what she will do with the magazine in her new role!
