I always want to get an early start
on Christmas decorating...
I rarely do...
today,
I broke out the boxes
and began setting up trees...
then,
I looked into my kitchen cupboard
and thought about packing up my fall dishes...
I realized
I hadn't shared my summer dish find with you...
at a good sale,
you know the ones...
I found this big box of Transferware under a table...
service for eight
serving bowls,
platters,
cream and sugar...
all the goodies!
garlands of roses...
Crazed
and in Love...
I heard them speak to me,
in an English Accent
inviting me to afternoon crumpets...
Japan?
I felt like a bit of an arse...
still,
the big box came home with me...
we have completely enjoyed
using them as everyday dishes this fall...
now it's time to pack them up...
bid them toot a loo
or maybe that is
sayonara...
Thanks for stopping by....

This transferware is indeed so beautiful for fall, and to my surprise Japanese.
They are beautiful! If they were a good price, why not buy them and enjoy them. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
They are so pretty and I would have got them too. Perfect for this time of the year.
They are beautiful ....I would have taken them too!

OMG! You have been holding out on us! I would not be putting those away at all. But then you know that every season is brown transferware season for me. Such a pretty pattern. I would never have guessed that they were not English china. My most popular pink blossom tea set with the teapot is also Japanese. On our way home! Hugs, J.
What a great surprise to see a japanese trasferware! I love it, it' s very elegant.

So beautiful.
Hi Bella!!!
I guess I'm showing my British/Scottish side here, but, seeing the word Japan on it, I wouldn't have bought them. They are very nice, but, I love my dishes to say made in England!!! It just does something to me knowing they were once over in the UK being made at one time.
I guess I'm showing how much I love the UK!!!
Have a great week!!!

Bella, doesn't matter where they started out, what matters is where they end up..with you. So pretty and I think I have a closely matching set only in pink. Mine came out of an ice cream parlor and then I saw them in Spiegel catalog. So they don't have a high pedigree either but I love them..Happy Thanksgiving..Judy
What a great find! You go Girl! ;)
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday dear Lady. xo
What a beautiful find Bella. They are gorgeous.
You just never know...... LOL What a great find though. It is perfect for all.
Oh Bella, I totally relate. I too have grabbed up pretty china, loving it for its beauty, not its origin. Oh how I love your blog.
Smiles,
Debbie
What a gorgeous collection, Bella....I would love to add that pattern to the few that I have of Swans and Roses in brown. I can't wait to see your Christmas decor for this year!
