The Silver Lady

One of our favorite finds...

we call her

 The Silver Lady

She's got curves

and gorgeous detail...

Just look at this etching on her side!

It looks as if you could put 

a monogram right there in the center...

Look at the detail on the base of the handle.....

 On each foot of the pot is a man...

oh the craftsmanship!!

1886

Meriden B Company

We searched around (thank heavens for the internet!)

and found out that this mark from the Meriden Britannia Company indicates that 

this tea/coffee pot was made between 1877-1898

We don't care if she's tarnished...

she's adorable ~ quite the proper lady to invite to a tea :)

"Come, let us have some tea 

and continue to talk about happy things."

~Chaim Potok

Oh to be a PICKER!!

Tell us....

if you came upon this place....

would you stop???

It's not for the faint of heart!

Great treasures await...

come on along with us as we stroll the grounds

of

Sunset Junque.....

Oh...we could go on and on from one path to another!! 

If you ever get up to Sunset Junque...stop 'cause you

HAVE to see it to BELIEVE it!!

Love Affair with a Bowl

Last Saturday

I made a "quick run through"

of one of our favorite little antique stores.

I wasn't seeing anything...then

A BOWL

stopped me in my tracks

Oh...I had seen one similar before,

but didn't want to bother ordering it

at that moment....

So I snatched it up

and proudly carried it up to the desk

to get it so I could get home

When I got home I got supper around

and lovingly washed that silly bowl

and filled it up with some roasted potatoes

After cleaning up supper & washing the bowl,

I tucked it into the cupboard and went to bed

The last thing I remember before falling asleep

was that silly bowl

& just how happy it made me to look at it!

Since then, it's served fruit on Sunday

and Rolls last night...

You could say

I'm totally in love

with this bowl!

Tuesday's Dishy Treasures

So far, our New Year's Resolution is going well!

We've been trying to make time for Estate Sales to get some lovely

Vintage Treasures for the store.....

Karrie found the prettiest plates...

just perfect for brightening up your table!

Sweet little patterns to make you smile!

Can you really have too many plates?

We don't think so....
