My New Beauty

As you know I live in a tiny place which does not allow for a lot of collections.  There are a few items I make room for.  One of them is enamelware body pitchers.  This is the latest one I have found.  Isn't it lovely?

I love the fact that I genuinely buy them with the intention of putting them in my Etsy store.

And somehow, through some force beyond me....they never show up there........

In my defense...could you part with this?  

It was purchased 18 years ago at a flea market in Paris and brought back to CA.

I know.  This all means that I most likely have a problem.  But at least I can admit it, right? :)

Have a great day!

White Hydrangeas and Chippy Bistro Chair

Hi all.  Everyone happy that it is Friday?  I thought that I would share these photos of my hydrangeas because they just make me happy.  They are so big and beautiful!

I found this pitcher online.  It was advertised as white.  It was not that expensive so I wasn't expecting too much.  

When it arrived I was surprised by the great condition as well as the bluish grey hue.  

It even holds water, which you probably know is not all that common for enamel pitchers of this age.  

My bistro chairs have been selling really well in the shop recently.  So I decided to add this one.  

  It is German, around 1930's, from a beer garden, I was told when I bought it from the antiques dealer.  I have tried to research this company, CW Naumann, but have been unable to find any info about it.  

I love the chippiness of it as well as the curved legs. It actually slants a bit but is sturdy and quite heavy.

Have a great weekend.  And welcome to my new followers.  Very happy to have you.
