The History of Johnson Brothers and The Friendly Village Tablescape

Last week, Shawn and I popped into a couple of estate sales and I picked up over 100 pieces of Johnson Brother's The Friendly Village . I think I may have to hang on to 12 of the dinner plates and use them this year at Thanksgiving but the rest of them, including this 48 piece service for 8, will be you know where. I don't know about you all, but I have had enough of Summer and I am down right ready for the cooler temperatures of Autumn. I've been doing a lot of rearranging around the house….I'm in one of those zones where I've got a zillion projects going on, even if half of them are just in my mind that I'm contemplating! We've also been moving kids out and around. Three of them are out and the three still at home are moving or rearranging their rooms around.

My English Country Mom Cave

Susan, at Between Naps on the Porch is hosting a Home Goods Mom Cave contest with four lucky winners. Come on in to my little niche I've carved out of my house. This is where I work, create, relax, read and chat with friends and family.

On either side of the sofa I display some of my vintage Canine figurines on Spode meat drainers. Above the sofa are some of my favorite paintings. The one directly over the sofa my Mom pain

Loathe or Love? Decorating with Antlers and Transferware

Antlers. Love them? Loathe them? I posted about antlers a few years ago and there were lots of comments but very few of you were sitting on the fence when it came to using them as design elements. Some of you flat out said, "no way". Some of you loved them and use them yourself. Antlers make a statement in a room for sure. I have really grown to love the very European, organic, natural look of antlers. They feel so English Country to me, so old world. Though they are currently a design trend with manufacturers producing them in resin and even starkly painted white, Charles Faudree, just to name one very famous designer, used them for years in his timeless interiors and they've been used to decorate the finest of European homes, and castles, for hundreds of years. These days they are seen in everything from modern, high rise apartments to the very traditional English trophy room. Because I'm so keen on transferware , I've decided to share mos
