Some people like to create tablescapes, and some people like to style vignettes and bookshelves. Me? I like the best of both... to play with dishes in a china cupboard, cabinet and shelves. Although I don't decorate inside this cabinet as much as the Holiday Cupboard, I like to play around with some seasonal bits and bobs in here amongst the transferware.
Since today is the first day of September (that's unofficially my start of the Fall season) I thought I'd spice things up with a few fallish feeling florals. The shelves aren't packed with dishes, as I'm using quite a few pieces in the Holiday Cupboard this month and also a September rendition on the mantel.
So I'm mixing reds and browns together with my cows and a few fall leaves and faux flowers.
One of my vintage Fall Fruit Oval Trays and an old Crabtree and Evelyn biscuit tin are on the top shelf.
It's mix and match city here with the transferware.
My little Japanese Majolica Squirrel teapot is below.
I love transferware sugar and creamers and have several sets. Sometimes the teapot has been broken but the sugar and creamer are still around. This pattern had a gravy boat too. Crown Ducal Ivy Brown of England. I love the lacy little rust colored leaves.

This is a post from last year where I shared an "overgrown" conservatory look in the Kitchen Sitting Area at our previous home. It was fun to go a little crazy with the vines and bittersweet.
I've been on the hunt for decent looking fall leaf bunches. I think the supply chain issues with China are playing havoc with the availability and quality of faux and silk florals. Anyway, I've been several places and finally found some. But good grief... the prices are nuts!
Hope you'll come by the link party on Monday evenings.

ReplyDeleteAlways a treat to peek inside your cupboard. I love your choices of transfer ware and all the cow creamers. I'm a bovine fan!
ReplyDeleteYou have lovely table & transferware, perfect for fall! The browns & oranges are beautiful. I'd love to have you come over & share on Crafty Creators Link Party on Thursday. (Thursdays at 6am CST thru Mondays at 11:59pm.) The cow creamer with its mouth open is just too cute!
