I have recently started going to the local op shops (there are so many around us) in search of cheap antique/vintage furniture, frames/mirrors and blue and white china. My Aunt, who is an incredible homemaker, had a white kitchen with blue and white crockery displayed and I always admired it. I modelled our kitchen after my memory of hers. The above plate was $5 when I went the other day - it has since had a price rise to $7 as it was co-ordinated with an apron and tea towel. I was just looking for the plate but since it's for charity, why not?! A complete silver jubilee set! Haha!
Quite honestly I forgot about the blue and white until I spotted these pictures in Home Beautiful April 2012. I could move into this house, I have pictures of every page.
Love, love, love it.
So it won't be an expensive collection but I hope it will look pretty enough, eventually. I have visions of my children buying me blue and white for every occasion for years to come!
