A little birdie has made her new home at our Little Red House! She is part of a giveaway I won recently at the fabulous Kim's Daisy Cottage. Isn't she adorable? She is perching among the flowers for her screen shot, but she will make her permanent home in my kitchen, where I can enjoy her every day. Kim also sent me a copy of the latest Romantic Country magazine, which includes her wonderful writing. Thank you so much, Kim! I love them both. :)
I also wanted to show you a couple of tag sale goodies I got recently. I never can resist a piece of red transferware, even if it is missing the top. It is a part of the Johnson Bros. Old Britain Castles collection.
The flower print just called out to me, which seems to be the way that all my collections begin. I have quite a few of these prints now, so I need to look around and find a place to hang them all. Maybe in our bedroom.
We are having some work done in the bedroom, hopefully at the end of the week. I can't wait for it to be finished and I'll show it to you as soon as I can.
Happy Tuesday!

Hi Mary!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet that you won Kims give-away! The cute little bird is perfect for you:>) I really love the print with the red and white striped zinnia, I love those flowers, and Johnson brothers dishes are among my favorites. I tagged you for a meme about five things you love. I always enjoy knowing more about you!
Mary, you should open a store...then you could buy more fun things! I love that sweet bird.
ReplyDeleteMorning Mary and congratulations on being the winner of the sweet little bird! Now I love red transferware too and the little bowl, even without a lid, is beautiful. I know you'll put little flowers in that. Take care and come to see me sometimes.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,

Lots of pretties. Life is good.
ReplyDeleteI love it all, as usual. Your home is so cozy and inviting!
ReplyDeleteStop by, if you have a chance...I'm hosting a "perfectly imperfect" week, and I'd love you to participate!!
Have a great week, Mary!
I swear I need to go tag sale shopping with you. I never find such goodies around here. I do get some wonderful things at Goodwill though.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary for sharing you goodies with us.

Ohhhh, the bedroom work sounds very intriguing.
ReplyDeleteYour little birdie is sweet and the red transferware piece is very nice, too. I am always drawn to dishes with scenes on them myself.
Oooh, you were so lucky to have won one of Kim's birds and a copy of Romantic Country! Your little birdie is just beautiful! Can't wait to see photos of your bedroom... Donna

A friend of mine has that Johnson Bros. set. Over time, it really, really grew on me. THEN one day I was in an antique shop and I saw two red transferware C/S on a shelf. I realized they were the Old Britain Castles--AND they were at the bargain price of $3.50 a set. That was the day my collection began!
ReplyDeleteI love your little bird. She's going to be a wonderful little pet! I don't know how you come up with all these awesome finds! I think it must take a keen eye to spot them in the midst of all the other "stuff."
ReplyDeletePS- I had fun making a "magazine cover." Go to justanotherhangup.blogspot.com
