Ironstone Collection in White

Collection? What constitutes a collection...having 2, or 3, or 10 of the same thing? For me, personally, the answer is having 1 or 100 somewhat similar items with a somewhat similar look.


Under that very guideline I have MANY collections, of various items. One that seems to keep popping up in my home and in my displays is ironstone. White pitchers are my fave, but I'm open to variations in size and style that catch my eye. It's all about what we love, right? There are no rules.



I recently swapped out the items in my kitchen window. Things were looking a bit too "summery" so this is what I came up with temporarily until Christmas gets incorporated.



I mixed up the white with some aged wood and old pottery. Aaahh...it's good to mix.







And while editing my photos, I couldn't resist trying out a sepia touch on them. Love!!



Did you notice the CHIP in my ironstone pitcher? There is not a single piece in my collection that isn't chipped, cracked, stained, or craized. I adore the character these "life" marks give my things. It shows me these items were useful and loved. And reminds me daily that only God is perfect.










Do you see that hanging light? Pretty sweet, huh?! I'm working on THAT post too...stay tuned.






My ironstone seems to pop up in random places around my kitchen.











(And, no, my counters are NOT usually this clean!)










Alas, even the bathroom has a few ironstone pitchers!







What collection keeps popping up in your house?
