Transfer...to where?

It's no secret...

we LOVE transferware...

why is it called

TRANSFERWARE?

Well, because of the transferring of the design onto the plate of course...

however...

We think it's because those plates and platters can

TRANSFER

from one room to another!!

This past weekend we were doing a little

TRANSFER

of transferware for mom...

changing things up in her living room...

and bringing in a fresh look!

and THAT

is why Transferware is really called transferware 

it TRAVELS well dahhlings ;)

Hope you all have a fantastic week...

We'd love to know what are you "transferring" from one room to another!

Filling the Blanks

Boy do we love collecting plates!

We love empty walls that need plates 

probably just as much as collecting them ~ lol!

So, when I went to my stash of plates

 to see what I could do with this big BLANK spot in my bedroom,

I was pretty excited to find these three plates
that looked nice together and with the wallpaper!

Sometimes we have no idea 

where we will put a plate when we find one that we like!

We end up talking ourselves into bringing it home with us anyways....

Thank heavens we don't let that stop us!

What about you guys?

Hey....a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do :)

A Touch of Blue

 Do you know what?

We love that white shabby style....

but we could never live in it.

These girls love 

COLOR

way too much!  One of our favorite way to add some

fun vintage color is by adding blue....

You'll never guess what kind of blue 

these girls love to add...

well, you just might :)

We love finding pieces of 

blue transferware.

There really is nothing like adding it for a 

POP

of color in your room

no matter what you're decorating style...

don't you think?

It probably all started with

  grandma's china set....

every holiday it would be out on the table 

and we'd be in charge 

of putting grandma's sliver knives and spoons

 beside each plate 

and putting the fork on a napkin

 folded by our little hands.

ahhh....you can tell

Thanksgiving is coming...

good memories always come with it doesn't it?

Wednesday Words

Just look at this crazy plate 

we found at an estate sale....

oh my....

Dish on Junkin'

One of our favorite things to pick up at estate sales

and antique stores are dishes

 

{can we hear a bit of heavenly music please?!}

 

 

It is so hard for these sisters

 to pass up this pretty set of plates

 

 

The colors are gorgeous

 and the scenes are so pretty! 

 

 

On the back:

Old Ivory Syracuse China

"made in America"

 

Got to love a plate that says that!

 

So, give us the "dish...."

do you have a downfall when you junk?

That Little Extra....

We love hanging vintage plates...

but sometimes it just needs that

little extra

bit of attention

Just a bit of detail

 from an old chain

hooked onto the plate rack

Totally makes all the difference!

How do you Blue?

We Love

 our Blue

at The Summer Kitchen

We display it many different ways....

 

Do Tell?

How do

You blue??
