Vintage Pottery and Simple Tablescape~



I started collecting this California Pottery way back in the 70's.
Remember when these colors where all the rage?
I loved this pottery then and I still love it!




I keep candy in this covered casserole, hide it from myself!


 This little chicken, poor thing, thinks she's a rooster.
Don't ask!

 Perfect for a great hot loaf of garlic bread-

 Good for anything!

 Many salads have been made in this awesome salad bowl!

Deviled eggs, please!

 Don't have to re-fill these very often-

This is good for just about anything-

 I like to use some of the pottery in a simple tablescape.
(yes, windows are clean, just a foggy morning!)


Joining
 Tablescape Thursday 
Have a great day!

  3. Love all of your California pottery. I laughed, when I read that you try to hide candy from yourself. I put everything I try not to eat in the freezer and end up eating it frozen, when a craving starts - lol!!

  10. Your pottery is so rich in color and texture. It's hard to pick a favorite piece, but I think that hen casserole has my heart. I love her. Great job on the tablescape, and the photography Nancy.

  12. Wow Nancy you had a very nice collection and it's wonderful that you kept it. I like all of the pieces but I especially love the two lidded pieces- they're timeless! I'd probably have cookies in the one! Love how you created the tablescape with the pieces!
