~White Wednesday # 82~


I hope everyone is enjoying their week so far and staying warm. Temps have been chilly around here again. A tropical vacation sounds so nice right now, but since that isn't a possibility I'll just show you another collection of mine......white enamelware. It is so clasic and can be used inside or out in so many ways. My favorite is the pitcher especially when they have worn spots of black showing through. We have some french doors dividing our entryway and dining room which we put a shelf above to hold some of my collection. Loving how the dried hydrangeas look inside the bucket. I can't wait to be able to go out and pick some fresh flowers from my garden to fill a couple of these pitchers, but I guess for now I'll just enjoy them up on my shelf. xoxo K.




This is my latest one that I purchased from my sweet neighbor Michelle from My Shabby Passion at the Christmas Show. I truly enjoyed gettingto know her and loved all her vintage treasures.

  4. oh I am with you Kathleen, the more worn the more life the piece lived.
    Great photos of a lovely collection.
    Yes even here in Vegas the temps are chilling to the bone.
    Warm inside with a hot cup of soup we will stay.

  32. I have always loved vintage enamel ware. I used to find pieces really cheap now more people are looking for it so the prices have gone up. It looks great all displayed together.

  35. Oh dear, now I feel guilty. From my sunroom window I can see an old enamelware bowl and pitcher, covered in snow. They live outside and I'm afraid I neglect them terribly.

    Maybe I should rescue them!
