The Tablescaper is having an Anniversary
"Where do you keep it all - Part Two ?"
I keep most of the "good stuff" in this Italian Cabinet
China from Bavaria
Crystal from Austria
This cabinet is in my dining room, it could be used in any number of rooms and hold any number of different items
I like my hand painted dishes out in the open...
ready to use
Hand painted dishes from Italy
Ready for the next Fish Dinner
Albarelli, hand painted Apothecary Jugs holding my dried herbs
Maiolica Plates I painted. Being showcased in a plate rack, hand carved by Gene
More hand painted Maiolica, some I painted some I have collected over many years
And collecting just for the sheer joy of color
Have a lovely weekend my dear blogging friends and drink a toast to all of your Hostesses and Hosts

I love it all, but it is the ceramics that I "covet". I think the bright colors appeal to my gypsy soul.
ReplyDeleteDid you paint the sunflower painting in your first picture? I love the colors in that too. Just so you know, yours is the first blog I look for every day! When I see the beauty you create, it is hard for me to imagine your career in mineral rights for oil companies. I bet all this is much more fun!
Hello there,
ReplyDeleteWhat exquisite treasures you have!..,All so beautifully displayed as well!
I am pleased to have discovered you through The Tablescapers; 'Where Do You Keep It All'? 2nd annual blog party!
..,I will be looking forward to coming back soon and I'm also delighted to have become one of your newest followers.
Cheers and hugs from Wanda Lee
Dear Jacki, You needn't covet. Just come and paint your own. The Sunflower painting is by Susan Gallacher, a very fine artist and special friend.
ReplyDeleteHello Wanda, welcome and thank you for your visit and becomng my newest follower. I'm so pleased to meet you.

Hi Jacki, You know I loved being involved in the oil buisness for so many years. It was challenging and rewarding work. But you are correct. Being retired is a lot less stressful.
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful collection, displayed beautifully!
