Pre Autumn Thoughts

Howdy

Greetings

TGIF

Thank you everyone for your sweet comments
and suggestions with my red drysink.
I knew it the moment I saw it...
that it was a keeper.

Another week has flown by.

This week I am glad it did.

I was covering for 3 other associates at work.

Not sure why I agreed to do this... but I did.

It's been one of those weeks,

where you wonder if a full moon was out there.

In other words....it was a CRAZY week.

One more day to go.

Wish me luck.

Am so looking forward to when I can retire.

Not for a few more years though. :-(

So on with today's post.

Transferware has been much a part of my life.

Both gramma's used transferware besides ironstone.

Gramma B liked blue, while Gramma H like brown.

When I spotted this plate in our store,

of course it reminded me of gramm B.

I have had it hidden away for a few months.
Not sure how to display it.

Then the light bulb hit me.

I added my stone fruit grape cluster.

It was perfect for my autumn

blue and gold theme.

An inviting autumn display.

Although you may think this is NOT prim...

I have to say that gramma B's farmhouse 

had blue transferware....

She lived the primitive life

without heat or electricity, 

and yet she had pretty dishes for special occasions.

Every day we used enamelware.

Gramma H on the other hand 

used ironstone for her everyday dinnerware.
Yes I ate off of Ironstone plates.

Gram's brown transferware came out 

for special occasions and holidays.  

I thank my gramma's for this inspiration.

I will continue to add more gold and blue

as the urge gets me.

Do you remember the special dinnerware

or every day dinnerware your grandmother used?

Mornings are getting crisp now.

Leaves are actually starting to turn a bit.

The Bluejays are jeering quite loudly.

The sun is rising over the river more in the South now.

Autumn is on the horizon.

Pre Autumn Thoughts Blessings To All!
