Tea-cup Tuesday & counting the days

Fall is in the air and our cravings are leaning more toward the comfort foods. That means more walks for me.

One of my kitty client's owner's was so sweet to give me a piece of brown transfer-ware that she no longer wanted. It is very old and beautiful.
This has been well-used. I can imagine all the home-cooked meals served on it.
I liked it with my orange tea-cup and saucer.
Yes, I have a wooden cat, too. This one doesn't break anything.
I love the colour.

This plate is J. Broadhurst Ironstone. Made in Staffordshire, England and named
'The Constable Series'
So now I have two brown transfer-ware plates. It's a start.

















This little tea-cup doesn't have a name.

This little lady is about to become a big sister.

Her baby brother (my first grand-son) is due this week.
Are we excited?
We are counting the days.
1...2...3 more.

  5. Last year in one of our antique barns a whole collection of brown transferware came in but it all sold in no time. Your two pieces are nice and perfect to mix and match with.
    Congratulations on a grandson coming along, our youngest grand is 6 now but I still get excited when I hear of another grandparent's good news.

  6. Hi Deb,
    Your brown transferware plate is lovely and so perfect for this time of year. Transferware of any colour is almost impossible to find here where I live so I envy those of you who can find it!
    Your little one is the cutest little thing sipping her tea! A new grandbaby is just the most exciting news! I'm thrilled for you and the little lady too getting a baby brother. Thanks for sharing with us today and I know you're going to have a wonderful week!:)

    Blessings,
    Sandi
