The time had come to prune back my Bonica rose bush. It was almost done blooming...and normally I would wait until it was completely done, but the stems were so full of blooms that they were falling over and practically laying on the ground. I couldn't let the piles of pretty pink go to waste, so I staged them with a few of the treasures that I had already planned to share today!
I purchased this gorgeous sea grass tote with the Pottery Barn gift card I received in the giveaway from the lovely ladies of All That Jazz Vintage. Thanks again Tara and Michelle! This bag has been great for estate saling as well as carrying things to and from the shop! I just love it!
The vanity mirrors were thrift store finds this week. I love to use them in my displays at the shop.
Another favorite pink rose...this one is Ballerina.
I was so pleased to find this stack of Johnson Brother's Rose Chintz for $3.99 at a thrift store this week. They are a bit chippy but it doesn't matter...they will have a good home in my china cabinet with my grandmother's treasured rose chintz collection!
This lovely Johnson Brother's ironstone platter will be making it's way to my space at the shop next week...
along with this handsome stack of old ironstone. The platters are big and heavy!
Do you know what this is? It isn't a giant tea cup! This is that perfect accessory to the 1880's oak washstand I had mentioned in my last post!
After it jumped off the shelf of the thrift store into my delighted hands, I doused myself in antibacterial gel and made my way to the nearest bathroom to wash up with soap and water! Ha! This porcelain commode dates to 1911! I was thrilled to tuck it inside of the washstand cupboard (after a thorough cleaning of course!) My husband thinks it would be great fun to put a couple of unwrapped Baby Ruth candy bars in it for effect. Of course I said NO WAY!
Do you own an antique chamber pot? How do you display it?
Cleaning up...after making two very large bouquets to enjoy in the house and several bundles of buds for drying. Garden work turned fun photo shoot!
Thank you for your sweet visit today! I look forward to seeing what you all have been busy working on this week or what treasures you've discovered! Have a lovely weekend!
Best Wishes and Blessings,
Amanda
