Show & Tell Friday Cut Crystal

Cindy thank you for hosting Show & Tell Friday (Click on side bar to visit others) for us again. I wanted to share a few of my treasures. Cindy shared the beautiful cut crystal shaker with sterling lid that her Mom gave her & I commented that I LOVED IT! Well, you see I have an addiction to cut crystal & also shakers. Above is a couple of the ones I have out on my counter. I just love to look at them while I do the dishes. One of them has a dark lid that hasn't seen polish in who knows how long. It was like that when I got it. The other one is just as I found it to. I love the cut of this crystal shaker (click on the photo to get better detail). This treasure was purchased from my friend Carolyn. She has a number of this type in her shop. The little container next to my "Carolyn shaker" is supposed to hold toothpicks (I think but, if you know I am wrong please correct me... I just knew I loved it). Next to the dark lidded shaker is a small salt that has wonderful cut work. And the last container in top left is a small condiment container. Which is your favorite? Leave me a comment & let me know.

A little more broad look includes a small cream pitcher in Blossom Time by Royal Albert. I shared the tea pot for Pink Saturday HERE. Also, the two leaves are rooting African Violets from my friend Judy who owns the B&B I stay in when we visit Arroyo Grand, California. The beautiful little vase is Juliska. Have you seen Juliska items? AMAZING! The little jar at the top left is a Juliska Jam Jar with one of my sterling spoons that has the most amazing flower design... I'll share those another Friday. And last but not least is my little birdbath with the beautiful eggs I bought in Carmel, CA in a wonderful boutique back in April. The eggs have a GLOW of gold shot through them. I hope you enjoyed my treasures this week. HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND!!!!!

Pink Staurday & Blossom Time Tea Pot

Welcome once again to PINK Saturday hosted by Beverly (click to visit). Today my house is decorated for fall & it is cool & feels like fall. But, I snuck into my china hutch to bring out a touch of PINK to share with you. I have been collecting the china pattern named Blossom Time for a long time now. Above you will see the sweet tea pot & a beautiful PINK cup & saucer(which are not Blossom Time but, I think it looks pretty with this pattern).
The photo above is the lid to the tea pot. Do you love the detail as much as I do? The whole pattern is based on a lane winding through a field of trees in full bloom. PINK BLOOMS!!!!
A close up of the side of the pot along with the sweetest flowers that Lisa & I found while at Round Top. They actually came off of a vintage hat that Lisa bought & cut apart(I later found a different hat in a different color scheme so we traded some of the flowers with each other).
Another view of these precious flowers. I'm sorry my photos are not wonderful but, as many of you know my camera is on the blink. The button is stuck down for no flash & won't come back up... I'm camera shopping & making due.
Both the Blossom Time (made by Royal Albert) & this sweet little PINK tea cup are made in England. The pink set has a very slight crazing starting on all four cups, saucers, & tea plates but, I think that just adds charm. Hope you have a wonderful PINK Saturday & be sure to visit the other girls playing today.
