Hi friends!
I wanted to share with you a couple of areas in our new kitchen.
Kitchen with bottle tree and transferware.
I found this blue and white canister set at a vintage market and knew immediately they were coming home with me. Taped on the inside of one of the canisters was a handwritten note “bought at Harrords 1967”.
Decorating and settling in has been quite a challenge. If you missed the post on our family room you
can find it HERE
Though we closed on the house one month ago we have actually only spent thirteen nights there. We are still dividing our time between dad’s house and ours. My sweet mother-in-law was diagnosed with cancer the week after we moved. Steve has been going back and forth between Florida and Alabama to be with her. She is having surgery in seven days and the prognosis is good. Thankfully, the cancer does not appear to have spread.
I’ve been super busy getting ready for the The Polka Dot Flea which will be held on June 7 at the
Orlando Fairgrounds. Carol of the The Polka Dot Closet has done an amazing job putting this vintage
market together and I am soooo excited to be a vendor!
Thanks for dropping by and I promise more pictures when things settle down.
Hugs,
Sherry
What a difficult and worrying time you have had right when you are settling into your new home. Best wishes for a full recovery for your mother in law!
Sherry,
Your blue/white platters look beautiful displayed in your new kitchen. So sorry to hear about your MIL…praying that her doctor will be able to get all the cancer out. Hope you have a great show at Carol's market.
Blessings,
Linda
Sherry, I love all of the blue and white pieces that you have! The pieces from Harrod's are wonderful. I will be praying for both your dad and your mother-in-law.
Wow, love those blue and white canister sets from Harrod's. How neat to find the note taped inside of one of them. Prayers go out to your mother-in-law.
Hope you have a great week!
Oh, Sherry!
I certainly wish your sweet MIL well in the surgery that's ahead. Is there family in AL to help her thru the recovery time? Hope so.
Another wish is that I could attend the Polka-Dot Flea Market this weekend – as if I need more stuff.
It will be delightful to see more photos of your home when you have time to finish settling in.
Hugs!
I love blue and white too! I collect Asian pottery that is blue and white. I actually just bought a new bowl in those colors the other day. I think that color combination is timeless. I love the way you have yours displayed. It is very lovely.
Very pretty, Sherry! Love those canisters. It looks like you are putting your personality into your new home!
Why does everything seem to happen at once?!? You certainly have a lot on your plate. Hope it calms down soon. LOVE those canisters of yours. I still love blue and white too!

Hoping for good news for your mother in law! My husband and I selected a very traditional blue and white Spode for our wedding china pattern, so I agree with you on the blue and white! 🙂
