Vintage Elements on the January Baker's Rack

Before the calendar changes over to February and we find ourselves indulging in all shades of pink and rosebuds and hearts and Valentines, I'm finally able to share some of the vintage goods that I've brought together here in the Kitchen Sitting Area.

So many people have had that nasty flu bug that's roaming around and has stopped them cold for several weeks. I've not had the flu, but before Christmas I had a run-of-the-mill cold, and after Christmas it all managed to come back at me with a bladder infection that has been a real killjoy. So that's my excuse for the blahs. After Christmas and before the sickies I had put together a "neutral winter decor" look, and I've really been enjoying it.

I've realized "neutrals" mean different things to different people. For me I gathered up "natural" colors and textures with nothing bold or bright. I found a few pieces I don't think I've used on the BR before, like this little wicker compartmentalized basket, an old cardboard print, and some antique crockery ware that I stole  borrowed from my Hubby.

I brought out a few of my little English Cottages; 

a salt and pepper and sugar and creamer.

The new whitewashed olive bucket that held the Christmas Tree here on the bench,

now holds some faux winter greenery and some vintage gardening tools.

I have a habit of taking pics at different times, then using them in the same post. Did you notice a certain little gray cow creamer? She was a Christmas gift from my younger daughter.

I needed a smaller piece of Ironstone, and this petite hexagon tureen fit perfectly.

Beaufort has changed his seasonal scarf. This one is a Burberry knock-off.

Hard to see because of the bright lighting, but those are antler sheds in the Seed Box.

My little French Shepherd Girl Lamp

is here as always.

I have more to share before February.

Hope we all stay well...

xoxo,
