I keep popping in to the china cabinet to look at my latest rescue; a brown transfer-ware pitcher. It is fast becoming one of my favorite things.
The words "I have a need to rescue something today" stops the retired-guys breathing for a moment. His head whips around at the speed of light and he asks quietly, "Is it a tea-cup? Please tell me it's a tea-cup." Oh, he loves the cats, but we do have six.
I often change up my cupboards and cabinets but I always end up going back to displaying my whites and creams. That's my favorite look. A little addition of colour here and there finishes it off. The Fall colours are perfect.
Coffee in my white tea-cup and cinnamon sugar toast .
1/2 tsp. of cinnamon to 3 tbsp. sugar. Mix together and keep in a jar near the toaster.
And where is Audrey right now? She's never far. Just to my right as I type there is a blanket on a wicker chest. This is her hide-away and she thinks no one knows she's there. It's where she goes to meditate & clear her pea-brain head.
Or maybe I have yet to find the results of her latest CATastrophe.

Well hello! My name is Liz and I love kitties and dishes too! :)
ReplyDeleteAudacious Audry looks like a spit fire. I just received my latest addition of Willard and enjoyed reading it. That little transferware pitcher is a darling save. :)

What I want to know is where all the china lives when its not on display, you must have tons of it.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, I would have thought I'd get fed up with seeing your tea cups etc, but I don't. Maybe I'm a closet dishaholic. lol

ReplyDeleteOh, that Audrey! What a cutie. As a dishaholic myself, I heartily support your addiction. Love your transferware. (I'm a huge Susan Branch fan!) Thanks so much for joining in this week.

Visiting from MHC-- what gorgeous kitties!
ReplyDeleteI love pictures of cats...they are so wonderful. I am well acquainted with Susan's cat Jack. He seems to be in every picture. I have always been a 'dishaholic" so I understand :)

Please join my "support group" because I am a dishaholic too! It started with blue and white transferware, then it proceeded to pink, then brown and I am thinking green transferware is in my future as well. Love your pitcher! How adorable! I always have a shaker filled with cinnamon sugar too. One of life's little pleasures to be sure. I am charmed by your blog and am your newest follower. Stop by for a visit when you have a chance, my gate is always open for you.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Susan and Bentley
I am visiting from A Favorite Thing Saturday and am your newest follower! I love linking parties because it enabled me to find your blog. I too am a dishaholic. I have always adored dishes. Stop by Still Woods Farmhouse and read about my collection of Memory Lane transferware that began with just one dinner plate from my grandmother. I can't wait to come back and read more of Just Cats!
ReplyDeleteLovely site. I love tea cups and cats! I have a SHOW-case Craft Showcase going on this weekend if you would like to be a part of! :)

Love your little pitcher -- it looks nice right in the middle of the shelf! Audrey probably doesn't realize that she left a clue to where she is snoozing.... adorable pics!
