My Antique Pottery Collection...


Welcome to my new look!

It has taken me only me a few  like forever hours.  I had so much fun creating this look, was not at all so not true stressful. You may notice some changes every now and then, I may have to tweak it from time to time. I am fascinated with the process and I want to keep on being blunder waiting to happen challenged.

Well, on with my antique roadshow~ Hope you enjoy.

Well, I thought I would share my antique Royal Staffordshire Pottery Mugs, by A.J. Wilkinson, with you today. I absolutely treasure these wonderful heirlooms.

My English antique mugs belonged in my mother's antique collection and she gave them to me. Lucky me! ( She has quite a collection of antiques!) I have had them for years and I dearly love them. I have them displayed on a bookshelf in our family room.

They are unique and have such character, they each have their own beautiful little features and their scenes are truly remarkable.

I love each one~

 The Orange Girl~

 The  Muffin Man~


 Hot Rolls~

The Tinker~


I'm joining Cindy today for Show and Tell Friday's.


That's all for now~

Take care~

  12. I love that those are all taken from Nursery rhymes. What a special collection and all the more so because it came from your Mom! How wonderful to be able to see those mugs and be reminded of her and her love for them. My favorite is the Muffin Man. "Do you know the Muffin Man, the Muffin Man, the Muffin Man....remember that rhyme? Diana

  16. That's just the sort of collection I enjoy too. The mugs make me think of the musical 'Oliver'. I was in our high school production about 1000 years ago and was the Flower seller, singing 'Who will buy my sweet red roses?'
    I'm happy to be your next follower.
