laura, these are wonderful love worn pieces. white says so much. Bestest,Denise
mother of pearl!!!!!! simply FAB. you are so talented ---
The little round purse is totally adorable. Is it crocheted?
Your Grandmother's mirror and your Father's dish etc. are my favourites, Laura. How lovely that these items have survived.
My Dad died last year aged 91, and I have his christening gown and some other things from his childhood.
I also have a tiny white mourning vase(which would probably have sat next to a mourning picture like the one you have) which I found in the garden (it fell off of the fireplace though and broke into two pieces, but I still have it).
Thanks for showing us these interesting pieces, Laura. XXXX
Loved your article on Anthropologie in NYC. Just learned they now have a shop in London too - so I am planning a visit their next week. I love their Miami store!
Oh Laura! I understand they are your favourite whites! They all are faboulaus and great memories of your family!!! You're lucky to have these treasures!
Wish you a nice Wednesday!
Big hugs

Hi Laura
Some lovely things here. Just like Jacqueline I like the family pieces.. so nice to have these memories and keepsakes. I also love the Mother of Pearl for which I have a soft spot...
Have a great week xx Julie
Lovely....though I'm scratching my head over a mother of pearl teething ring?!
Laura,
Love your whites this week,the celluloid mirror is awesome. I am very into mourning art right now. They are hard to find around here but I saw some amazing ones in Round Top that where made with human hair. Crazy. Lisa
to hard to pick a favorite photo - love them all, Lori

A beautiful collection of whites but the mirror is extra special!
Those balusters just take my breath away! LOOOOVEEEE those!
Hi Laura,
One of my favorite things is that beautiful gravy boat. I just love to see what other people collect. I think the baby things are so sweet and the fact that you have your father's little bowl. What a treasure that must be to you.
Hugs,
June
I would have never thought that picture was made of seeds if I hadn't clicked on it for a better look. Maybe my favorite but that little is tugging at my heart as well!
Happy White Wednesday!

What wonderful treasures you have, with great memories! Love the ironstone...I do love the more 'crackled and brown' pieces too. The balisters are great as well. One of the blogs I recently visiting had put four together to create a lamp base.. Have a wonderful White Wednesday,

Have a great day!
