Ruth's Red & White Transferware-It's Mine Now!

As you know I have been working
the past couple of weeks
helping my friend, Ruth, 
pack away her treasures for Florida.
However, she is not taking all of it
with her.
Some is being sold at auction
and some is being donated.
Some went to a consignment shop
and some
CAME HOME WITH ME.

When I got to the top shelf in her kitchen
I wanted to cry with joy.
LOOK what was hiding up there.
She had told me all along that when
we got to it 
I could have it.
Seriously?
I LOVE red & white china.
This is especially beautiful.
It is called  
English Abbey.

I carried it home and carefully
handwashed it.
I decided I needed to use it
for a quick little set up
because it is so pretty.
Here's the tabletop-set for one-ME!
Don't you just love it?
See that roll?
Yep- Hard as a baseball!
See those strawberries?
THOSE are FRESH!
Besides the set of
English Abbey 
there are several other pieces mixed together.
This is Moreton Old Hall by Wedgewood.
These cups are unmarked but so pretty
This is the inside of four cups.
It is called Enoch Woods  by Wood & Sons
But my favorite is still the
English Abbey.
There are more pieces of that than anything else.
I love the sweet image on it.
If you pop by I promise to buy new rolls
AND add a place setting for you.
You know the coffee pot is ALWAYS on at my house!
So- Come on over-
We'll dish the dirt on everyone we know!
