Then over to Tiny Doll House on 314 East 78th Street for something more manageable.
And mini Wedgewood. Real Coalport seen on Madison Avenue. And mini Coalport at Tiny Doll House. They even have mini Staffordshire figures!I walked out with this Willow pattern ginger jar, side table (mahogany?), mirror and blue and white wallpaper!!!
This post makes me very nostalgic, Carol. The blue willow is something I've always loved--the blue and white is such a soothing combination to me and makes me think of home. Your loose, lovely watercolor is perfect! And the things you selected in miniatures?--well--I have a little table like that and my table has a little hinge under the "top" that allows the table top to fold downward--they used to put those little tables off to the side, like near a fireplace, when not in use. I love it. The ginger jar is a big favorite of mine...wonderful!!! I love it.
Oooooh--it's grandma's blue willow! I have a set of teacups, saucers, dessert dishes and a tablecloth of this from my grandmother. It's one of my prized possessions...lovely, Carol!

ReplyDeleteAll very lovely here. What will you do with the wallpaper? It is pretty.
ReplyDeleteI lined a cardboard box with it Cris...rather makeshift for such elegant wallpaper...ahem
ReplyDeleteI should take a shot of the whole thing...
Love it.
ReplyDeleteI find blue willow so comforting somehow.
I can't quite explain it...
You can never go wrong with a ginger jar. And the wallpaper is to die for!!!
ReplyDeleteYes you should. :)
ReplyDeleteIt will look very elegant in one of your paintings or two or three or more. :))
