Changing things around a bit..........

You may remember my china cupboard in my Den looking like this for Christmas and Valentine's Day..........

Well, it was time to get those snowmen and skaters out of there in an attempt that maybe once I put them away, I would be also putting Winter weather away!! ( Let's keep our fingers crossed, huh?)

And this is what It looks like now....


I put some of my red and blue transfer ware pieces in the china cupboard. I liked the string of lights that I used in there at Christmas so I left them in with the battery operated Candles .

I do have some tea things in here.....

Sugar Bowls and Creamers.....



And Tea Cups and Saucers....





See the mini blue and white tea cup and saucer on the porcelain vintage stand??


Sorry this is a bit blurry but see the mini blue and white tea pot.....




And a few weeks ago I showed you the Tea Pot that Joe bought me for my Birthday and then I went and bought the matching Sugar bowl.......

Well, this is where it found a home for now........


I liked having my little Candy bar set up on my Kitchen desk/hutch for Christmas and Valentine's Day so I decided to leave some of the glass jars with candy out.

See my red and white tea cup and saucer filled with lollipops???

And see the little yellow tea pot???


I would like you all to visit my friend, Lisa Lewis, Victoriana Lady, over at her new blog, All Things Victorian, www.victorianaladylisa.blogspot.com

She has just started her new Blog and is just getting the hang of it and I would so appreciate it if you gave her a warm Welcome to Blogland!! And maybe sign on to Follow her!

I had mentioned before that we would be repainting our Kitchen this weekend. Well, that is not going to happen. I am still putting away Valentine's Day, want to decorate for Easter , never got or picked out the paint colors and still have to strip the old border off. In other words, I am so not ready to redo the Kitchen. Plus, my back has been giving me some major problems with pain radiating down my left leg. So I think climbing up and down a ladder would not be wise at this point.
So, once again, it is being put off until we are on vacation at the end of May. Then we will have whole week and hopefully we can also get the Kitchen cupboards repainted too since the weather SHOULD be warmer by then!!
So I will use my 4 days off this coming weekend to catch up on a lot of things around the house and Joe will be off from work to give me a hand.

I am linking up to these great parties:

Tea Cup Tuesday

Tea Time Tuesday

Tea Pot and Tea Thingie Tuesday

Table Top Tuesday

Rednesday

Thanks for stopping by today and everyday that you take the time to do visit me!!

Hugs,
Debbie

Hello Debbie,
although your cupboard looked very fine with the winter decoration, I understand that it is time for a change now. This combination of red and blue transferware looks really good. I am curious what you will make for easter decoration. Your candy bar looks really tempting.
Greetings, Johanna

Hi Debbie,
Once again it has been wonderful wandering around your house and seeing all your very pretty things. I am also anxious to decorate for Easter and Spring. I keep telling myself it's a go on the 1st of March. That's tomorrow....Yipee...but it's still rather cloudy and overcast outside. Maybe that's just for this last day of February.

Mary Ellen said...

Love all the red and blue transferware Debbie!!

It is beautiful here today - so beautiful that I actually got to hang clothes on the line which I love to do- call me strange I know!

It's the first day that I have really felt that Spring really will come someday!-Expecting another cold spell later this week I hear-

Your blue and red transferware is spectacular. Love the musical tribute to your dad, too. You are a special lady.
Feel better soon!

Oh, Debbie, my friend, I am lovin your red and blue transferware! You have so many beautiful pieces and they look so pretty in your cabinet! I like the lights and candles in it too! Thank you for joining me today.
My hubby is totally exhausted every day from delivering in all this snow! I think at this point he would welcome the rain. We are getting a bit of a storm right now as I write this. It's been a hard Winter and Spring still seems very far away at times when one looks out the window. But I know it's coming! Hooray!!
Thank you for praying for my little granddaughter. I hope you're feeling better too. Take care of yourself.

Hugs and blessings to you,
Sandi

HI Debbie, I LOVED how you mixed the red and blue china together. it's really pretty...and with the lacy sheers, just gorgeous :) :) It's got a lovely vintage patriotic look to it :) :) Plus, the designs are really lovely :) :)

I'm sorry your leg is hurting. Bursitis in my shoulder is painful almost every day now. i'll be praying the pain goes away for you, because pain is not fun.

Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)

Hi Debbie, I am so sorry your back and leg are bothering you. It is probably best not to be on that ladder. Love the china cabinet. The red and blue look so pretty together. I love that little yellow teapot. I am so ready for spring. I am going to begin spring cleaning tomorrow and get out Easter things. We have sunshine forecast fore the next three days! Yee Haw!!
