Transferware Bunnies


A few days ago I mentioned that I'd show you all some transferware rabbits.  These are so adorable.  They're made by Royal Crownford.    To my knowledge they only come in blue, brown, green and red.  I'd love to find a purple one.  

First, is this chubby little Green bunny.

The plate in the background is by Copeland/Spode...also perfect for Easter or Spring decor!


More transferware for Easter is the little egg shaped trinket box, by Masons.  It will be in my Etsy shop later today.


Here is little brown bunny who resides in my guest bathroom along with some vintage linens and perfume bottles:
and Miss Blue Bunny...she was sold to pay for...
...little Red Rabbit.  Red Rabbit lives with us to, in my kitchen.


I recently found this bunny and was so glad to add him to my collection of red transferware.  I hadn't seen one in this color before so I snatched it up as soon as I could.  There is one listed on Ebay right now for $75!  I have the green one in my shop for $45.
I filled an antique red transferware wash basin with reindeer moss balls (I use these for the topiaries I make and sell in my shop) and placed a jasmine topiary in the center with the bunny inside and some vintage crochet Easter eggs.  I think it turned out pretty cute...not your everyday Easter arrangement being red and forest green but it works with my kitchen decor.  



I hope you all enjoyed the bunny tour!

  12. What adorable bunnies, Nancy. I've never seen any of thee. I think the green is my favorite.
    Spent the day at Round Top shopping the antique shows. Such fun! Lots of beautiful transfer ware to be found. Last year I found 3 brown Tonquin napkin rings. Couldn't believe it when I stumbled upon one more today. Yea! Now I at least have 4.
    Happy Easter to you.......Sarah

  19. Nancy, these are darling. And, I agree your arrangement is just perfect.

    I'm going to use my yellow transferware plates for our Easter dinner table. I'll be certain to share pictures.

  20. The bunnies are darling, Nancy! And I do love that egg. Did Mason make it in other colors? The moss arrangement in your wash basin is so pretty. I had mini daffodils growing in my antique wash basin a few weeks ago. Very cheering! I hope you have a lovely Easter holiday.

  24. Aaawwwww...their chubby little heads are so cute! I like them all, but the little brown one just seems so demure and innocent. Maybe because his coloring is more subdued. They're all just as cute as can be! Have a very Happy Easter, Nancy!

English Cottage Living Room - Before, Partly After & Still a Work in Progress

I am sorry for not posting more pictures of the progress we've made settling into this new (to us) home.   It seems life rushes by so fast and that at times, doing little things, even those that I love and enjoy, often get pushed aside and onto the back shelf of my mind where I tell myself, "I'll get to this later".  Well, it is later and though I don't have as much to share with you as I'd like, I'm going to at least share my favorite spot in our living room.  I promise to show the rest of the room soon but for now the opposite half of the living room has been occupied by my daughters boyfriend who has been staying with us for the past 7 or so weeks until his apartment is ready for him to move into, and so the couch is usually made up for him to sleep on!   Here is a photo of the current living room just as we found it, a small room just off the entry of the house with a nice marble and wood fireplace surround, hard wood floors, beautiful crown mouldi

The History of Johnson Brothers and The Friendly Village Tablescape

Last week, Shawn and I popped into a couple of estate sales and I picked up over 100 pieces of Johnson Brother's The Friendly Village .  I think I may have to hang on to 12 of the dinner plates and use them this year at Thanksgiving but the rest of them, including this 48 piece service for 8, will be you know where. I don't know about you all, but I have had enough of Summer and I am down right ready for the cooler temperatures of Autumn.  I've been doing a lot of rearranging around the house….I'm in one of those zones where I've got a zillion projects going on, even if half of them are just in my mind that I'm contemplating!   We've also been moving kids out and around.  Three of them are out and the three still at home are moving or rearranging their rooms around.    Since I am yearning for Fall, haven't posted any tablescapes in a while and just got these Friendly Village pieces I decided to set the table with them.      Oh great, I

My English Country Mom Cave

Susan, at Between Naps on the Porch is hosting a Home Goods Mom Cave contest with four lucky winners.  Come on in to my little niche I've carved out of my house.  This is where I work, create, relax, read and chat with friends and family. This is one of my favorite spots in the house to read about one of my favorite subjects...English transferware or poetry, and drink tea.  I often start and end my day right here. Next to the chair is an antique dumbwaiter which holds some decorative items as well as lots of poetry books.  This is the view of the room from the wing back chair.  This cozy room serves as a small living room, although it's not uncommon to have 8 or 9 of the girls in here during family gatherings.  It's usually where we all wind up to have coffee and visit. . On either side of the sofa I display some of my vintage Canine figurines on Spode meat drainers. Above the sofa are some of my favorite paintings.  The one directly over the sofa my Mom pain

Decorating with Brown Transferware & $100 GIVEAWAY

Brown was introduced as a transferware color around 1829-30 and is the least expensive of colors to make. Therefore it is fairly common, so far as transferware goes, to find.  It is also one of the most collected colors and it is probably the most versatile of colors in my opinion.  Brown is neutral and looks good with any color scheme from pastels to rich jewel tones, but it is with the ushering in of Autumn that I see it popping up in home decor and vignettes the most.  Though, most of these rooms and vignettes are decorated with brown pieces year round, it just seems the perfect time to share them.  I may have to do another post because there are so, so many more equally beautiful spaces that have incorporated the use of displaying brown transferware  and I can't fit them all here. So, check these lovelies out and then stick around for the giveaway at the bottom of the post. This vignette just stole my heart the first time I saw it.  So many of us have vintage luggage

The Aesthetic Movement and Transferware

What is the Aesthetic Movement? The Aesthetic Movement refers to a period of time in the late 19 th century (1870-1900) which was a backlash to the formal Victorian years.  Artists and writers of the Aesthetic movement period maintained the belief that art should provide refined sensuous pleasure, rather than convey moral or sentimental messages.  They believed that art did not have any didactic purpose; it need only be beautiful.  Japanese art had a great influence on Aestheticism. Aesthetic interiors were often decorated with Japanese prints, screens, fans and other objects. An appreciation of the art of Japan is seen in the work of many Aesthetic artists and designers such as James McNeill Whistler and E.W. Godwin. photo credit Country Living The Aesthetes developed the cult of beauty, which they considered the basic factor in art. They ascertained that life should copy art and considered nature as crude and lacking in design

Decorating with Blue Transferware and a GIVEAWAY!

   If you haven't already been over to Enchanted Home , you'll want to go over after you finish this post because the wonderful Tina, who authors the incredibly gorgeous blog,  has a great post up about decorating with dishes plus she's hosting a giveaway to my online shop, English Transferware !  Details at the end of the post! I know Tina loves blue and white (just look at her header and you'll know!) and has a collection of her own. In honor of Tina, I've decided to share some of my favorite images of rooms decorated with and often around blue transferware collections.  You can see more rooms decorated with blue transferware on my Pinterest board . To me, Charles Faudree is just about as synonymous with English transferware as he his with French Country Decorating...he seemed to always find a use for it in his incredibly detailed decorating schemes.  Isn't this bedroom charming? I love this next image from Decor Magazine.  Look how the blu
