Isn't it romantic???
Cool enough for romantic walks, warm enough for a few roses that refuse to lie dormant. I am definitely in a red and white romantic mood.
Thinking of February to come and Valentine's Day....
Yesterday I found the cutest heart shaped jelly beans.....can't wait to open those. You wouldn't believe how pretty they are...
My Pretty Crown Ducal teacups....
I am enjoying my reds and Whites....
You all told me I would have fun with my Hutch...how did I go so long without one?
Isn't it romantic???
Leaving the roses behind and heading for the snow. Hard to believe we are only an hour and half away. So many different climates here. Just an hour in the other direction and we are at the beach!
Bisous,
Karen

ReplyDeleteKaren,
ReplyDeleteYou know I am lovin' this post with the red roses and the hearts, oh my! The red shows up so nicely against your white hutch. Where did you ever find heart shaped jelly beans? Isn't California the best with all the climates? My husband and son just went to the ocean in So Cal. Now, I'm ready for a trip. The snow sounds delightful to me right now. Have a fun weekend.

Thanks, Sheri! Can you believe I found the heart shaped jelly beans at the market? I am going to post a picture of them. They are just so sweet! I am looking forward to the snow. We are supposed to have a little snow fall while at Northstar tomorrow. The kids will love it!! I'll get pictures!!

Oh so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou need to hook up to Beverly's How Sweet the Sound blog for her Pink Saturday with this gorgeous post.
I love love loooooove that china!!!!!!!!!!! Wish i could come over to sip tea in those with you (and try to beg you to open your pretty pink jelly beans you have teased us with seeing, haha.)
You are so good to me!! I went right over and joined the party! Oh man...how far away are you? I'd love a good excuse to open up the jelly beans!! I bought two packs. They are super cute. I'll have to add them to an up coming post. :)
DeleteHave a great weekend, Michele!

Karen, I love all of your red and white! Everything looks so pretty! I really need to get more transferware. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shenita!! I do like my new collection! Transferware is fun and great for so many occasions. Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend too!
DeleteKaren
Very beautiful! I love red and white....how is it that it doesn't go with any of my decor??? I guess that's why I love Valentines Day...I can sneak some in and no one notices it doesn't match!! Love those teacups by the way!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen....Pretty, pretty, SO PRETTY. Thank you so much for your visits. Loved your post and your header, too! Susan
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan! So glad you came by!! Enjoy your weekend!

I think anyone visiting your home would think "Romantic". I love your red/pink and white, especially the milk maid plate. I see you are way ahead of me, I'm still putting away Christmas decorations and you are ready for Valentine's Day! Thanks for sharing your lovely home.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year........

Thanks, Emily! I got a jump start right after Christmas. An energy spurt that didn't last too long! I have always loved red! :) Thanks so much for visiting!

Hi, I am visiting from Beverly's Pink Saturday. I love your beautiful red, pink and chute. It will indeed soon be Valentine's Day. Thanks for sharing your beautiful transfer ware and white ware. Your hutch looks "So Romantic"! Thanks for sharing, Ginger
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginger!!! I am enjoying my red and white romance. I think I need to have some tea and watch a Jane Austin Movie :)
DeleteKaren
OOPS! That would be "beautiful red, pink and white".

Your hutch is so beautiful!... I love all of your red and white china, and your rose... and well, all of it!... I too am thinking of Valentines and Spring... would love to find some of those heart shaped jelly beans... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteOh Karen, your dishes are so lovely! I must check out your Etsy shop.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday,
Dorothy
Thanks, Dorothy! With my long term sub jobs and Christmas I haven't had as much time as I'd like for Etsy shop. Thanks for checking it out though!! Had a lot of fun with Pink Saturday! Thanks!
DeleteKaren
Your transferware is amazing ... I also collect the red and white (or pink and white as it is also thought of) I really liked the combo with the modern white china ... in fact its all lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The white "modern" dishes are by Eva Zeisel. She was a Hungarian artist that did a collection for Hall Craft in 1952. I was lucky to find all of it at a garage sale for 75 cents each!!! I almost hesitated on the pieces because I have so much stuff. After reading about her history,etc. I am so glad I bought it all :)
DeleteKaren
I love your red and white transferware. They're gorgeous!...Christine
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christine! It's so fun to collect, isn't it? I LOVE All the dishes you used for your New Year party....you sure do a big spread! Love it :)
DeleteKaren
Karen,
ReplyDeleteLovely post. I love your plate stand and the way it is displayed.
Oh, thanks. I could probably switch things around every day. I do love having a hutch now. Everything was just packed away before. Not too convenient or fun! I am happy to play around with this. Hopefully I'll get better :)
DeleteKaren
Everything looks so beautiful and yes, romantic :) Enjoy your heart jelly beans - how fun and cute!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Sunday!
Hugs,
Stephanie
Thanks, Stephanie! I appreciate your visit and nice comments! I need to get some pictures of my Jelly beans :)
DeleteKaren
Beautiful post..You are all ready for Valentines Day. You made me hungry just thinking about heart shaped jelly beans.
ReplyDelete~Clara
Thanks, Clara! If the sun peeks out soon and I have time, I am going to get some pictures of the jelly beans. :) I have to admit, I love Valentine's Day. 8 years of living in France too...they don't celebrate like we do. No one talks about Valentine's Day and children certainly don't exchange cards, etc. so I kind of go overboard now that I am home.
DeleteKaren
Your red roses are beautiful. Red and white transferware is one of my favorites. Please share your heart shaped jelly beans.
ReplyDeleteMaggie, so funny. I just mentioned those jelly beans and boy I am surprised anyone noticed it. I am going to post a picture ASAP. I might need to get an extra bag or two and have a Valentine's giveaway! :)
DeleteKaren
I love your red and whites. They are so pretty this time of year after Christmas has been put away for the year. LOVElY- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diana. I was happy to display all my red and white after Christmas. I was ready for the brown and white to come down. It was great for fall, but this seemed cheerful and perfect for Valentine's Day!
DeleteKaren
Wow, beautiful treasures and yes, how romantic. I loved your post today.
ReplyDeleteHappy 2013.
