Kitchen Pretties

In keeping with the theme of the latest issue

of Romantic Homes magazine

( page after page of AMAZING kitchens )

I thought I'd share some of my kitchen pretties...

some old, some new, all dear to my heart.

 My new hometown has some truly wonderful

thrift stores, I've scored some of the loveliest

china pieces these past few weeks.

 Is that those rose china cup not divine?
A whole set, thrifted for a song.

 And my darling tea towel, 

purchased from my sweet friend  

Jennifer Rizzo's  
Etsy Shop.

{ ahem...this white basin is NOT a urinal. If I had a dime for every person who has asked me if this is a urinal.  This is a lavabo. }

lavabo: a device used to provide water for the washing of hands.

In ecclesiastical usage it refers to both the basin in which the priest washes his hands and the ritual that surrounds this action in the Eucharist. In secular usage, it refers to a sink for washing hands.

Oddly enough, I was never a blue and white girl

until we moved here. The lovely existing kitchen tiles
sort of dictated the decor, and happily so.

One of these days,

I might actually get another room pulled together

and photo worthy, but for now....

get ready for more kitchen pics in the days ahead!
