Hey Everyone,
it looks as if a good portion of blogland is under a heavy blanket of white, today.
We probably have about 12 inches here and more is falling.
We dodged the ice and thankfully the power outages that usually come with it.
So today, I wanted to share some "whites" that I put together to stay in keeping with not only the snow, but add a few sprinkles of hearts for February, our month of Romance.
Remember my chairs that we used for our sunset lakeside dinner last fall?
They've found a spot in the Living Room
but today one is holding some of my ironstone and linens.
I've realized these are of Gustavian (Swedish) design.
Definitely old, but recaned. I found them for 13 dollars apiece.
I know!!!!!
love the carving on the back
We went to the Springfield City Wide Garage Sale last Sunday,
and I picked up a few pieces of ironstone to add to my platter collection from England.
This one is the same from the top photo and is Johnson Brothers.
It's in pretty good shape but has a small chip on the rim.
I have a stack of these fancy scalloped edge English serving platters on my kitchen counter.
(vintage crocheted heart I've had since forever)
This little pitcher was given to me recently by my Mother-in-law.
It belonged to her grandmother.
This Meakin platter has been used hard...
it has a small crack, and lots of pitting,
and was definitely a workhorse.
It weighs 4 pounds!!!
I found this lovely linen runner there too.
a little taste of winter here in SW Missouri
Right outside my sunroom door on the deck
...and speaking of sunrooms,
If you haven't been by to visit Jill this morning,
we're hanging out on the porch!
I'm linking to Kathleen for White Wednesday
Stay warm and snuggly!
Happy February!
love,
Debra
Glad you're safe and sound. We've got 10 inches so far and more on the way tomorrow. I honestly don't know where we are going to put it all. We had a least 18 inches on the ground already! Spring, please come soon!

Okay, I'm very sorry . . . but I will just have to have those gorgeous chairs! And that charming vintage heart. What some beautiful things! Thanks for sharing and stay warm and plugged in!
ReplyDeleteThe chairs are to die for! And $13 each??!!! I bet you were having a hard time not jumping up and down, grinning from ear to ear and clapping like a little girl. LOL
ReplyDeleteI really like the postage stamp hearts. What a cute idea. And outside? The picnic basket tin? I have that very same one! What great taste have!
Hi Debra, those chairs are 2die4! I just love the carvings on them. I have been after some scalloped plates, actually a dinner set for a while, but the only one I came across was $500! Can you imagine what I'd do if I broke a plate!! Yours were a true bargain. The snow outside actually looks lovely from my neck of the woods.. it's 9am and it's already too hot to go outside. We're having a bit of a heat wave in NSW at the moment. take care, Maryann
ReplyDeleteI am glad your weren't to affected by the bad weather! I used to live in Wichita and my husband traveled back & forth to Springfield for work. The weather was always crazy! I hate to tell you that I am sitting in shorts with 75 degree weather right now! Gotta love Florida!
ReplyDeleteI love your chairs! What a find!

Hi Debra... your whites are so pretty, love the little crocheted heart too... also loved your porch at Jills... left you a comment there too!... can't you make this winter weather go away??? You are covered in snow, and today we are under a high wind warning with our east canyon winds that gust up to 100 mph... iffy power off and on... stay warm in all your snow!... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeletePretty Valentine header! Love your crocheted heart and all your white platters and pitchers with the cute hearts made from old stamps.
ReplyDeleteThe snow pictures are very pretty but I hope you keep your power and it is over quickly.
Meant to say clever blog "title" too!
ReplyDeleteYour whites all look so pretty! I love that little crocheted heart. I think it would love adorable framed.

I love those chairs! What a deal! I'm also loving the ironstone, so lovely. Well, stay warm up there.

I will be dreaming about those chairs tonight. It's a good thing I don't know your address! LOL Now every chair I find this weekend when I'm out junking will be compared to those....sigh. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThey sure don't make things like they use to. Love that ironstone! And the sewing machine table outside. I have those tables around the house. Serves so many purposes! Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Everything is so lovely, you make me want to throw everything out and start over. Love your ironstone! Bundle up and stay warm!
ReplyDeleteHi you snow bunny with the bestest white chairs ever! Stay Warm Please♥
ReplyDeleteEverything on my screened-in backporch is covered with snow & it's still blowing. Wasn't it 70 on Sat.? Oh, well, we didn't get the ice. Loved the little hearts made from stamps. Great post!!!! Stay warm! Jan
ReplyDeleteI know you guys are tired of the snow, but it is awfully pretty!
ReplyDeleteHere in the South we just have rain and wind.
I love the chair. $13.00??? That's just crazy!
We're in the midst of the BLIZZARD OF THE CENTURY, from what I hear, Debra! UGH!!! Twenty inches is forecasted here in Michigan. Spring could not come to soon..... :) Your treasures and photos are just beautiful!
ReplyDeletexoxo laurie
Great price on the chair and pretty! The only time I like to see snow is in photos (like yours). I am ready for Spring.
ReplyDeleteCitywide garage sale this time of the year ? :( Did I read that right?
I am ready for Spring.
Hellooooo Debra... I am Sooooooo Loving YOUR Deck In Snow!!! All those finds are now getting nice and chippy!!!

Stay warm and talk to you soon

Hi Debra, A message coming from Northwest Missouri. We had the freezing drizzle yesterday and last evening with the blowing snow today. We have had 10 inches so far with it still snowing. The wind is causing drifting and whiteouts in our area. I haven't worked the last couple of days because I don't like the ice. I am glad that I was home today because of the blowing drifting snow. Stay warm down there in Springfield Ares. I enjoyed looking at your white chairs and valentine heart. Take care, A Missouri Friend.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, Debra, I just love all your treasures! The chairs are gorgeous & a steal, and I love your linens and ironstone. Most of all, that crochet heart grabbed my heart. I crochet a little bit and would like to make one some day...when I have more time, right?
ReplyDeleteHappy happy White Wednesday! (It's extra white here in the Boston area, too!)

Absolutely beautiful. Love the pillow. Stay warm ~ we're getting snow too but we supposed to get the freezing rain right after. Get the generator ready :-)
ReplyDeleteyou always find the best stuff!! love, love, LOVE the swedish chairs. stay warm, if you can!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful whites today, Debra. I love the screen behind your chair.
ReplyDeleteI have a question for you? Do you have to pay for your linky list on VIF? I noticed yours was different than mine and I was just notified today that I'm going to have to start paying to use it for WW. Any info on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and stay warm and safe.
Kathleen
Your whites are all so beautiful. I love the chair with all it's charming detail. Stay warm,
ReplyDeleteHeidi
Oh those chairs are killer!! And the ironstone work horse platter is wonderful too! So much history. I have a set of little pink hearts from Denmark like your white one. Is yours scandiavian too? Anyhoo it sure is sweet. Vanna
ReplyDeleteDebra, that chair!!! The carving is sooooooooo beautiful and delish! Not to mention the English Ironstone. I want to go shopping with you! And those little cut out vintage postage stamp hearts? Did you think we didn't notice? hehe, I love stopping over here. xoxo tami
ReplyDeleteI love love love that little Crochet or Tatted Heart! The patterns for the older needle work items are always so great. It's such a perfect accent, and the little bits of color in the Stamp hearts totally round things out! Such a Great Idea, and I love the mix of photos. All that snow is scary (crossing my South East Weather fingers!).
ReplyDeleteJust LOVE that chair - what a find!!
ReplyDeleteJust hopping thru some blogs and found yours.. Love it!

Everything in your photos is so very pretty! And I agree with Carm above. When I saw the little heart, I thought it was some very pretty tatting. Nearly a lost art it seems. I tried to teach myself once, but didn't get very far. One of these days! This is my first time to visit your blog and it's lovely. Bess
ReplyDeleteYour pitcher and platters are beautiful sitting on that wonderful old chair.
ReplyDeleteThe outdoor pictures are gorogeous. Here in Tennessee we don't get a lot of snow, but when we do, I am quickly outside snapping as many pictures as I can.
