As I am changing things around and cleaning I came across some pretties I have not seen in a while. Yes I LOVE my white ironstone it's a favorite of mine. But I still love dishes with flowers. Especially roses. I used to collect  lots of these. But only saved the pieces that were really special. This is one of those sets. The shape of these cups are so pretty and unique. I have never seen another set like this. Just for fun I set up a little tea party. Don't those cupcakes look delicious? Let's take a closer look. This is where I tell you don't believe everything you see. Because those are not real. I found those while out shopping at an antique store. They were using them as a display but selling them.

I know we are all thinking about spring right? Changing things around our house. Freshening things up. I like to do that in my space at 417 too! I was changing things around. Bringing some new things in.     Duck egg blue dresser. The perfect color to add just the right pop of color. I think this would be cool not only in a bedroom but..... Storage for linens,napkins,table cloths in a dining room,kitchen or..... in a laundry room used to store all your utility items. See that medicine cabinet??? So cool right? Well it's gone.

Oh my what do I see shining in the sky today?? Ah  it's the sun.How refreshing to see the sun shining! Makes me want to start decorating for spring. I am sure you are longing for spring too! Since nothing grows here in the winter I often pick up flowers from the store. I need something fresh and pretty in my home. And now that we are past Valentines day I can afford buy them again. They were very over priced a week ago. I made some changes to my mantle. Added some fresh roses to my white ironstone pitcher. I don’t know if you know this but I LOVE taking photos of roses. Yes flowers in general. But roses are a favorite of mine. Especially pink roses! I used to paint roses……on everything. Really I did! I need to pick up my paint brush ... View Post
