Let me present to you our dresser which lives in the corner of the dining room:
A close up:
The dresser (not old at all) houses some of my various collections such as my Meakin coffee pots:
More coffee pots, the red Habitat 70s one on the left and a Palissy "Madeleine" on the right (I've also got coffee cups and saucers to match):
A couple more coffee pots in the background. The chrome one on the left is Melitta from Germany and the one on the right is another Meakin called "Midnight Star".
Oooh a close-up of my favourite jam pot. It's soooo cute.
A Hornsea coffee pot on the left and a rabbit teapot. I bought the rabbit teapot from Liberty as a prezzie for Mr J and P when we first got it together - over 20 years now (egads!).
A rather cluttered shelf with a few Swedish glass vases and some of my collection of salt and pepper sets:
Yes. My salt and pepper collection. I've been meaning to bore you with that for a long time.......and here's my chance!
A jumble sale buy from yesteryear:
Another jumble sale buy from yesteryear:
More jumble sale buys:
The following two sets were bought for me by Mr J and P from Brick Lane market in east London if I remember rightly:
You may well wonder what is peeping behind the ridiculously large pompoms on this lamp?
Recognise the pompoms? From my failed attempt at making a pompom wreath here.
It's one of Mr J and P's (many) "family heirlooms" (so he likes to call them. I won't go into what I like to call them.....). It's a buddha lamp from Singapore when Mr J and P's granny lived there in the 1940s.
A few of the Mexican tin animals that I've stuck onto the dresser courtesy of Mr J and P's bruv went he went to Mexico some years ago:
On the windowsill next to the dresser are an owlie salt and pepper set and...
wooden chef salt, pepper, paprika and allspice shakers:
On the door nearest the dresser is my lovingly painted knob rack......
with my modest collection of pinnies:
Well that's all folks. I'm off to Kylie's to slobber over some vintage nooks and crannies. I do hope you'll be joining me. xx
