A Collection of Whites

Not long ago

I was running around like crazy 

gathering up pieces of white dishes for a special project 

that I was pressed to get finished.

Tureens, pitchers, platters, creamers, sugars, teapots & coffee pots, 

If it was white... and if it was the right price... I brought it home.

I found most of the pieces over several weeks at different thrift stores- the smalls were usually
.50-$1.00 and most of the larger pieces were not more than $5 or $10.

 I also picked up a couple gorgeous pieces from HomeGoods as well- at fantastic prices.

Love the mix of old and new
I didn't really care about the markings or if they even had any- or crazing, chips, etc.

 I paid more attention to the shape

to the style

and I imagined how each piece would look in a cupboard 

or on the shelf of the new built in bookcases out in the guest cottage.

One by one I brought pieces home and placed them just so

until this bookshelf was full.

Then I stepped back 

and sighed

My ran around like a crazy woman- looked like it had been collected for years-

white ware collection was perfect.

There is something about gorgeous white dishes all together.

I am just loving it. 

I'll share more about how we built this bookcase & the matching one 

on the other side of the room soon.

Little pumpkins have started popping up around the house 

so I wanted to share this bookshelf before sharing it's new look for Fall.

Stay tuned
