Up until just months ago I had a plate; one plate passed on from my mom.
Now I am looking for odd pieces everywhere.
Aw..would you look at these little feet.

Cat-tip-for-the-weekend
Add boxes to your cats' areas. Stop buying toys when a few odd sized boxes placed side by side will fill their day with fun. Sometimes I put a smaller box inside a larger box. Sprinkle a bit of cat-nip in the box if they enjoy that. Here you see Audrey behind the smaller box but still enjoying the larger box. She will stay in there for hours and eventually customize the box to her liking. Once the boxes are chewed up, find some new ones. You can cut out windows in the larger box for them to see through.
Cheap toys and hours of fun.

ReplyDeleteMy cats' favourite toys are shoelaces! We have 'chase the shoelace' games every morning.

You didn't mention the manufacturer of the china you're looking for. I haunt the thrift stores and can keep an eye out but it would be helpful to know what the maker's mark is like.
ReplyDeleteI saw a vast amount of blue and white today at an estate sale. The prices were a little high but next weekend she will be 50% off. I did get two 1950's aprons for a good price. Clovis does love getting in my boxes from Costco we have noticed. Good tip.
ReplyDeleteScott and I always get a couple boxes at Sam's Club JUST for the Horde!
ReplyDeleteDeb, I LOVE, love, love your blue and whites! The coffee pot is darling with the tea things and little feet! Thanks for sharing them with us and enjoy all the festivities ahead.

ReplyDeleteI totally agree...most of my home is blue and white. I love any color...as long as it's blue (and white, usually!)! Thanks for sharing your new (and perfectly understandable obsession) and linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

Hi Deb,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your gorgeous blue and white china with us at Tea Time. As I mentioned before, I love it! Hope you are having a splendid day.

Deb, I can see why you want to collect more of the blue and white china; very pretty!
ReplyDeleteYou're going to be busy, having a cup of tea first sounds like the sensible thing to do.

Hi Deb,
ReplyDeletethe blue and white china is lovely. I hope you will find some more of the things, you want. Oh my, the kitty enjoys the box, I can see that. Boxes are so nice toys. I wish you fun with your upcoming events.
Best greetings, Johanna
I love your blue and white, Deb. It is just stunning! Ebay is a great source for all things china (and ironstone).
