Necessities and Temptations

Sitting here having my cup of coffee, my little slice of heaven and pondering what I'll blog about today. Can you believe there just happens to be a party ? It's Table Top Tuesdays, this is where we show off all of our vignettes, treasures and things we love!  

I'll join many that escape to blogs where you can find blogs on decorating, cooking, humor, comfort, art, family, gardening, there's just so many kinds of blogs, it's truly amazing. They are an inspiration to me. I have found that blogging is much more than reading and writing, it's being creative, it's empowering, it's expanded my imagination, I am more inspired by little things that maybe were not ever noticed before. It brings new challenges and awareness, oh so satisfying! I know there are many like me, blogging is a new discovery and it's a simple pleasure.  

 Suppose I'd better get back to the party and see what I'll be showing off today!  I just got off on a tangent, didn't I? Happens!

I happen to cherish things that are just pretty. I love small plates, cups, saucers, creamers, sugar bowls, pitchers, boxes and too many to list. They speak to me, I think there are way to many that have my number.  I am captivated by them if they have a floral pattern, just a feast for my eyes! Such lovely and exquisite little things!

Come with me and I'll show you my newest little treasures, they tempted me and it was necessary that I add them to my collection of little treasures!

 This 19th Century Wave Crest dish is made with embossed glass with enameled floral decorations with little handles and rim.   
I knew this one was coming home with me! I love it.

I just had to have this, it's floral, what's not to love!
Royal Crown Derby creamer and sugar bowl. Made in England.

This spoke to my heart, I knew this one was necessary to own right away!
James Kent Chelsea Rose Chintz creamer and sugar bowl.
 I love the anything floral! 


Immediately this was in my hand! 
Miniature Pembrook creamer and sugar bowl reproduction of 18th century Aynsley design. I like the blue birds in the floral garden, it's gold trim, embossed design and scalloped rim.


Hope you enjoyed taking a peek at my latest Necessities and Temptations! 

Have a  great day!
Nancy

  2. They're all beautiful but my favorite is the James Kent Chelsea Rose Chintz creamer and sugar bowl. I love when it looks like the flower patten was rolled right off the edges. I think there's a name for that that I'm not remembering, I just know I like it.
