Iron Stone Kashmir 4290 Green and Yellow Sugar Bowl & Creamer Set - Harmony House - Vintage

Iron Stone Kashmir 4290 Green and Yellow Sugar Bowl & Creamer Set - Harmony House – Vintage

harmony house kashmir 4290 sugar and creamer

This is a super cute matching Green and Yellow Sugar Bowl (w/ lid) and Creamer set with a geometric design. They would make a perfect addition to your existing set of China or can stand out on their own! And even though they are vintage, they have a very modern flair! The bottoms are marked "Oven and Detergent Proof. Hand Painted Japan". We believe the slight variation in shading on these two items is due to the fact that they were hand painted.

The sugar bowl measures approximately 3 3/4" tall with the lid, 3" tall without the lid, and 3 3/4" wide. The creamer measures approximately 3 1/2" tall and the opening is 3 1/2" x 2 3/4". There are no cracks, chips, crazing. etc. Each piece does have obvious signs of use though as you would expect in vintage items.

NOTE: This is not a licensed NCAA product. We are not affiliated with or sponsored by the NCAA.

Our pins are carefully hand-cut from various pieces of felt, then hot glued together to form the cute flower shape. This pin also has a small fluff of black eyelash yarn to give it a little more sass! A stainless steel pin is attached to the back of the petals so you can easily transfer the pin to your different outfits, handbags, hairbands, jackets, scarves, and hats. The possibilities are endless. They also make great gifts for teachers, neighbors, friends and family! Since the pins are made from felt, the entire flower is fairly lightweight and won’t distort the fabric you pin it to and the layering of petals gives the piece a stunning dimensionality.

Sheetrock, Mud and More Missing Cabinets

Well, here I am again with a kitchen remodel update. It’s slow going, but it’s going.

First of all, remember the opening into the living room that was enlarged. Here’s a reminder picture.

kitchen remodel

Well, here it is somewhat finished with sheetrock and mud.

Next project was to start tearing out the cabinets on the sink side of the kitchen.

Here’s a before picture.

kitchen remodel

The desk to the right of the dishwasher went first, then the upper cabinets to the right of the sink were next.

As you can see, the end of the cabinet over the sink had to be cut off because all of those cabinets over the sink were in one big piece.

kitchen remodel

We decided to demo the kitchen in small sections, so we could use the kitchen for as long as possible.

Well, that’s our kitchen remodel update.

Have a great day!

Kitchen Remodel—Good-Bye Really Big Cabinet

Well, this is long overdue update on our kitchen remodel. Just to refresh your memory, our kitchen used to look like this.

kitchen remodel

And this

kitchen remodel

If you look closely in the above picture, you can see the white microwave sitting in the large cabinet to the left of the refrigerator.

Here’s a better picture of the cabinet. The microwave has been removed.

kitchen remodel

Well, anyway, this was the next project in our kitchen remodel—removing this large cabinet.

Now, this cabinet wasn’t much to look at, but it held a LOT of stuff. I am getting a pantry in my new kitchen, so hopefully I won’t miss this one too much.

Here’s a picture of this corner with the cabinet removed.

kitchen remodel

As you can see, part of the wall is gone too. I forgot to take a picture after the cabinet was removed. By the time I remembered, more demo had commenced in that area. Oops!

Our kitchen remodel is progressing steadily. I can’t wait for it to be done. I HATE dust, and there seems to be a lot of that around here lately. You just have to learn to live with it and keep thinking “new kitchen, new kitchen.”

Well, hope you enjoyed my update to our kitchen remodel. Stay tuned for more!

Have a great day!

Denise

PS-The large cabinet found a new home upstairs in my husband’s garage. It was SO big, he had to cut it in half to get it up the stairs. Smile

Looking for a particular team? Contact us for a custom order!

NOTE: This is not a licensed NCAA product. We are not affiliated with or sponsored by the NCAA.

Skinny Scrappy Scarves are long and skinny handmade scarves measuring approximately 76" long and 4" wide. (Please note, our scarves are unique and one of a kind, and the length and width can vary some. If you'd like exact measurements for a specific scarf, please contact us before making your purchase.)

orange and white scarf

Our scarves are carefully sewn (no knots) on a sewing machine using horizontal, vertical, and diagonal straight stitching to hold all the strips of yarn and fabric firmly in place. They are then zigzagged around all the edges, excluding the fringe, of course. They can be GENTLY hand washed and then hung up to dry.

tennessee scarf

You can wear them many different ways. Wrap them around a couple of times depending on how long you would like them and how warm you want your neck to be! Or wear them the Parisian way by doubling them and pulling the ends through the loop - as shown in the pictures. They are very versatile and can be worn with a t-shirt and jeans, at the office, or dressed up for a night out.

The picture below shows the gift wrapping your item will arrive with. Scarves arrive wrapped in kraft paper; flower pins and bracelets arrive in gift boxes.
