Flea Market Finds and Spode Blue Room

Friends at the Paris Daily Photo blog were talking about the enamelware pots sold at Paris "Vide Grenier" (essentially garage sales) and I promised to post a photo of some of the enamelware I have found over the years. As I was rearranging items for a close-up, I pulled back and saw this. My world of blue & white looked so pretty, I am including it all. The dishes on the plate rack are Spode's Blue Room. Can you see the sweet wool sheep? He is a hand-crafted ornament that I bought at the Wool and Sheep Festival in Romeo last year. Does blue and white bring you delight?

Blue and white surely bring me delight;) It's funny because this china reminds me of what we call Toile de Jouy in France.

Originally the motives were only printed on fabric but progressively they also produced china - and often blue and white...

Thanks for coming by, Eric! I enjoy Paris Daily Photo so much as I plan for my next trip there in May.

I love your display too Anne. My stepmother has always wanted a blue and white kitchen. At 76, I think it's time she went ahead and did it, don't you?
