Welcome to the first Open House Party.
I hope everyone had a wonderful NewYears and I can’t wait to see
all your upcoming projects for 2012.
Thank you so much for visiting!
I am excited to be featuring the beautiful home of Rita at May Days as the first home tour for 2012. I was hooked on Rita’s blog the moment I saw her header with a wall of amazing blue and white transferware.
Thank you Rita for sharing your lovely home with us.
Enjoy the tour.
I feel like we are kindred spirits.
See the creative way she used a chicken feeder to display plates?
Rita and her husband created all this wonderful storage using cabinets from her nieces kitchen remodel.
aahhh!
I hope you enjoyed the tour and please visit May Days to see more of this
pretty home and Rita’s amazing collections.

thanks for spotlighting May Days. I've joined her followers and look forward to slowly reading her blog when I have extra time.
Thanks so much, Sherry.
I love her millions of blue and white plates around her hutch…I noticed the clear glass collection inside the hutch doesn't distract from her plates. Very smart….and pretty.
Happy New Year Sherry! You know how much I love blue and white transferware. Rita's entry is simply gorgeous. The plate rack is brilliant.
Thanks so much for hosting this fab party. I am all linked up.

Every time I visit Rita's blog, I gasp. I love all of her blue and white. I too love blue and white and am featuring it throughout January.

Hi Sherry, Somehow I didn't realize you were going to feature my home. I thought just one picture of one of my rooms along with many from others. I'm overwhelmed with this special feature as well as all the very generous comments. You are so gracious to showcase MAY DAYS on your beautiful blog. You can see that I'm no minimalist either! Thank you, thank you.
(((Hugs)) to all!
Rita
Happy New Year Sherry! Thank you so much for hosting this lovely party! This is my first time visiting and linking! Angie xo
I don't know why blue isn't my favorite color??? After seeing Rita's home I am absolutely in love with blue again. I don't know if it can knock green out of the water but it's pretty darn fab when done right…like this home. Thanks so much for the link up…love coming here!
Rita does have such a gorgeous home! I can't get over her amazing blue transferware collection! Thanks for sharing!
I loved all the plates on that wall. Super cool!
