Plant Tuscan China Floral Saucer - Made in England - Vintage

Plant Tuscan China Floral Saucer - Made in England – Vintage

This pretty saucer has pink, purple, blue, and yellow flowers and noticeably worn gold trim around the edge. It is marked Plant Tuscan China, Made in England, with handwritten numbers on the bottom: 1822a. This would make a perfect ring/jewelry holder for by the sink or on top of your dresser.

The saucer measures 5 1/2" in diameter. It does have a chip on the edge. Please see the photo below for a close-up! It is in very good vintage condition otherwise. It does have obvious signs of use though as you would expect in a vintage item.

Valentine’s Day is coming up soon! This would make a great gift for that vintage collector in your life or for someone who just needs something to hold their jewelry.

Hope you are having a great day!

Beth and Denise

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.

And this

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.

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.

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

Skinny Tennessee Volunteers Scrappy Scarf - Orange and White - Handmade

Skinny Tennessee Volunteers Scrappy Scarf - Orange and White – Handmade

This handmade Skinny Tennessee Volunteers Scrappy Scarf is the perfect way to show your team spirit. The color palette is Orange and White which is our interpretation of the Tennessee Volunteers team colors.

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.) They have multiple fabrics and fibers from a variety of places - including some really unique & luxurious yarns.

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.

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.

This is a great scarf for Tennessee Volunteers fans and also for those lovers of the color Orange. Buy one for yourself or as a gift for someone special!

Have a great day!

Beth and Denise

Hearthstone Block China - Vista Alegre Portugal Paprika - Red, Orange and Yellow Floral Bowl – Vintage

This listing is for one bowl. The design is called Paprika. The bowl measures approximately 2 1/2" tall and 4 1/2" across the opening. This very CUTE bowl would make a great addition to your collection or would be a sweet gift. It would be cute sitting next to your sewing machine holding vintage notions or next to the sink holding your rings/jewelry.

This bowl is in very good vintage condition with no cracks or chips and very little wear. It does have obvious signs of use though as you would expect in a vintage item.
