My wardrobe selections have been rather boring lately. I have not given up posting my daily fashion choices permanently...just for a week or two.
Meanwhile, I'm thrilled to have found these two white pitchers to add to my white pitcher collection. They were at my favorite thrift store this week. (That's a photo of my paternal grandparents in the back.)
Many of the pitchers sit behind the windows of this golden oak cabinet--one of the earlier pieces we acquired in our married life. It was (literally) found in pieces and rebuilt by my husband. It has survived many cross-country moves and found a place in the many homes in which we have lived.
On top of the cabinet currently:
A swan and crow, two pieces of my Pfalsgraph pottery
& a white Christmas poinsettia.
Lovely! Thanks for sharing. I love white pitchers too...and white tea pots. So pristine on a table. Do you use your any of your pitchers for daily use? We don't use milk regularly here, but I love to see whole milk poured from a white pitcher.
ReplyDeleteI love your collection of white pieces and they look wonderful in that 'found' cupboard. Your DH did a great job putting it back together.

The two pitchers in infront of the vintage photo make a really nice display.

Bookie, I don't use them for every day - not because any are so precious....just because I don't. I pull one out for pancake syrup occasionally and if there is a guest(s) for breakfast, I DO serve the milk/cream in one...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Darla and FlowerLady. Always good to share my thoughts/life with you!
ReplyDeleteYour house is so beautiful, Rebecca. You've definately got the eye for usual and crafty pieces. Love the Grandparent photograph. xxx
ReplyDeleteVery nice pitchers, Rebecca, and they look great in your hutch. Take care. Susan
ReplyDeleteI just read today in a home living/cookbook about making a house homey .. and a designer/decorator said instead of buying three similar items to display, buy two and use something personal .. a picture or a seashell .. for example .. it makes a home personal. Nice collection!
ReplyDeleteLove that cabinet! I also have a swan on top of my hutch...someone Bob used to work with was "getting rid of stuff" and I got it for FREE. I've often wondered what it might be worth...guess we have a "reputation" lol...
ReplyDeleteYes that display is really attractive!
I'm going to dig out a photo of a similar looking cabinet that used to be my Grandmother's. I came very close to "inheriting" it but my aunt recently decided to leave it to a cousin. I remember it held grandma's depression glass...
