Show and Tell Friday: Lambs

This is my first time to be a part of
Show and Tell Friday.

Cindy at My Romantic Home is our gracious hostess.

With Easter almost here, I thought I would share

a few of my lamb prints and paintings.

I've been collecting for the last seven years.

Some are old, some are new

but all are well loved , and part of my collection.

I think this would have to be my favorite,
love the sweet message of it.

These can be found all around the house,
so I've brought a few of them
 to where the lighting is better.

This painting is in the Living Room,
an Anniversary gift from my husband
a few years ago.

Part of a set of pastoral prints

that were a Christmas gift.

Another very old oval print in

it's original metal frame.

A print of one of William Bouguereau's
famous Madonna and child paintings.

Vintage Western Landscape

This is a Christmas postcard

from the early 1900's.

This is probably the oldest print that I have of sheep.

Love the Country French scene.

(please excuse the glare.)

Another favorite

I also collect vintage Religious images.
This is one of my favorites, with lambs.

Thank you Cindy, at My Romantic Home.

I also am linking up last minute with Laurie,

from Bargain Hunting and Chatting with Laurie,

for her My Favorite Things Saturday.

If you're new to my blog,

I'd love to have you leave a comment

so I can come back and say Hello.

I also have an open Bible Study blog,

please come by for a visit.

Hope you're having a wonderful week before

Easter!

hugs and blessings,

Debra

White Wednesday; Spring in the Kitchen

Bunnies, chicks, and ducks oh my,

there seem to be a few of them in my kitchen.

I found this vintage Easter

 postcard print a couple of years ago

and framed it with a shabby little frame.

With the warmer weather I've opened the doors

to the sunroom and the kitties and I are enjoying

having our space back.

Don't tell them, they think it's "outside".

I found a few white things

on my flea market rounds recently and somehow

they've just landed in my kitchen.

Ever have that happen to you?

On their way to the antique mall booth...

but they just don't actually "get there"?

This old ironstone bowl, chips and all,

just needed to stay home with me.

Love those cracks and crazing.

Some napkins with a hint of spring color.

And an old concrete duckling waddled by...

I've never met a sugar bowl 

that I didn't fall in love with!
(even without the lid)

And my ironstone Homer Laughlin pitcher.

Bunn-bunn joins in the fun, too.

A few weeks ago at a city wide sale,

I found this little white cookbook holder.

Don't know what it's supposed to be,

or "used to be",

 but for now, it's a "cookbook holder".

1930 Kelvinator Fridge companion cookbook.

Everyone has room for a "Kelvinator"...

Don't ya just love these graphics?

An iron bird and a vintage bluebird tea towel

just say Spring.

Thank you Kathleen at Faded Charm!

Now go see what everyone else

is up to for White Wednesday.

Hope you're having a wonderful week!

Easter
 is just a week and a half away!

love,

Debra

St. Patrick's Celebration of Green and White Wednesday

On St. Patrick's Day

we all have a little Irish in us.

(and I do have just a little from my Mom's side)

When I saw that there was a St. Patrick's Celebration

I wanted to join in the fun!

So for the Wearin' O the Green Celebration

with Him, Me and Our Three

 And Kathleen at Cuisine Kathleen

is having a Blog Crawl...

And also, Kathleen of Faded Charm with

White Wednesday

I thought I'd share some "green" of the china kind,

with a few pieces of my green transferware

in several different patterns.

This is "Kent" by Wedgewood.

I'm putting together a picnic tin

full of some Irish luck and blessings.

Irish Biscuit tin.

Vintage St. Patty's Postcard

This platter is John Maddock and Sons from England

The gravy boat is King's Border from England

This little sugar and creamer, well used but not too old,

is Romantic England, Herefordshire, by Meakin.

And this plate is part of a set of

Romantic England, Haddon Hall by Meakin.

My dining room is moss green,

so I love displaying my collection

of green transferware from England.

And to share some White from Ireland,

I found these images of beautiful Irish Pottery.

These are Belleek.

Hope you all have a good St. Patrick's Day!

Watch out for the Blarney

and don't get pinched!

love,

Debra
