WHITE WEDNESDAY # 19

Senza aver mai dimenticato il piacere dell'appuntamento del White Wednesday ospitato graziosamente da Kathleen di Faded Charm, ho purtroppo dovuto astenermi dal partecipare per numerose settiname.

Con l'estate al suo culmine e tutta questa luce attorno a me, ho sentito il desiderio di giocare un pò a cambiare e spostare i mobili per dare all'appartamento ancora più luce e carattere.

Ecco quindi alcuni scatti degli scorsi giorni. Niente di che, ma soltanto un'occasione per riprendere le buone abitudini.

As time goes by I realized that for several weeks I didn't join in the fun of Kathleen's White Wednesday weekly appointment. Not that I had had forgotten nor lost the pleasure in participating, just that I've got carried away by my daily routine to an extent that in the evening, which is the time I usually post or visit my dear bloggy friends' blogs, all I could think of was going to bed as soon as possible, thus neglecting my blog for quite some time.

Now that Summer is here, with all the light all around I felt the urge to play with my furniture and accents and rearrange them in order to give me apartment some character and a Summer look. Wasn't it about time?

The pics I'm sharing tonight are nothing special and to top that off didn't turn out that nice either, but they were taken on the spur of the moment for the simple pleasure of sharing. Hope you'll enjoy!

TEA CUP TUESDAY # 8

Carissime,

sono passate settimane dal mio ultimo post...sono veramente una pigrona. ma credetemi, mi siete mancate tutte così come mi sono mancati i vostri meravigliosi post.

Vi ringrazio per le parole di incoraggiameno per gli esami di mia figlia e sono più che lieta di annunciare che ... è andata benissimo.
Ora si gode il suo meritato riposo in attesa delle vacanze i montagna tutti insieme nel mese di luglio. ancora 3 settimane di lavor eppoi... si parte!!!

Saltando da un argomento piacevole ad un altro, eccoci arrivati adun altro tea cup tuesday.

stavolta è stato facile trovare il soggetto giusto per il mio post: le mie tazze transferware della Johnson Bros Old Britain Castles ed il mio piccolo servizio mix and match composto da pezzi di vari potters inglesi.

L'ho già detto in precedenza: adoro il transferware e corro il rischio di diventare noiosa. perdonatemi ed accettate il mio sfoggettino di questa sera. sono pezzi di poco valore, ma ma a me piacciono ugualmente. E' stato divertente girovagare per i mercatini puntando come un cane da caccia tutti i venditori che tenevano del transferware per strappare loro un prezzo d'occasione e tornare a casa con il mio tesoro. E non pensiate che la caccia si sia interrotta: sono fermamente intenzionata a mettere insieme un servizio di piatti di transferware e potete scommetterci che prima o poi lo farò!

My Dearest,

haven't posted in ages: i'm such a lazy one, but I've missed each of you as well as your beautiful and inspiring posts.

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement on my daughter's exams and I'm so proud to announce that she did awesome and we are all so happy.

Now she can rest until mid September when she will start high school and meantime she's dreaming about our forthcoming holiday in SudTyrol early in August. Three weeks of work to go and then I'll finally be able to enjoy my vacation.

And now, from one fun topic to another, here we are again with another Tea Cup Tuesday.

It's been quite easy this time to choose what to show as I love transferware and had some nice pics right at hand (had taken some for my new blog header photo several weeks back).

What I'll show tonight is two Johnson Bros Old Britain Castles trios mixed and matched with pieces from other English potters. They are of little value I guess although I did spend quite some money to buy them. The fun part is flea market treasure hunting though. Going from market to market aiming at those vendors - very rare I must say - who sell English transferware trying to get a bargain price to bring home a new treasure each time.

I've got quite some pieces so far but my next move will be put together dinnerware for six. will be hard and expensive but you can bet I'll make it. I might be a lil lazy but I'm a determined middle aged lady...

Now, hoping you'll enjoy my photos I'm off to see what all the other great ladies who are also taking part in the fun of T C T are sharing tonight.

And... BTW, do not forget to visit Martha at http://www.marthasfavorites.com/ and Terri at http://artfulaffirmations.blogspot.com/, the hostesses of this lovely Tuesday appointment.

Hygs
