Majolica Bordallo Pinheiro Collection. . .

Springtime is the "perfect" time 
to bring out the green hues in On Crooked Creektt's Dining Room.

So~o~o. . .
today, with Spring like temperatures,
I'm showcasing my Majolica Bordallo Pinheiro Collection.



Although, my collection of Majolica Bordallo Pinheiro is still quite small, 
I was fortunate to find several new pieces this Winter at our local Antique Mall.

I'll begin with the additions,
then we'll gaze our eyes upon my entire collection.



I found two Majolica Bordallo Pinheiro pitchers at 20% off!

A petite cabbage leaf pitcher 
shown with my cabbage bowls of the same pattern and hue. . .



and a Grapevine Leaf pattern regular sized water pitcher
that blends harmoniously with my ever growing Collection.

Next,
I found three cups and saucers in a new to me Geranium Pattern.






While this pattern doesn't match any of the others I have collected,
I do like how it complements my Grapevine Leaf Pattern.



Now,
you can see how all the pieces 
of my collected Majolica Bordallo Pinheiro blend together 
within my built~in china cabinet in On Crooked Creektt's Dining Room.




The first pieces of my Majolica Bordallo Pinheiro Collection, 
brown rimmed cabbage dessert/ salad plates, stretch the length of the top shelf.









The one matching dinner plate, placed in front,
accompanied by my vintage green rimmed juice glasses.

I couldn't resist these adorable moss bunnies 
at our local Antique Mall and Flea Market.
I embellished each with a sage green French Silk Ribbon 
and a single faux buttery yellow blossom.




I would l o v e to find more of this Grapevine Leaf dessert / salad plate.

For now, 
I've mixed my single plate with the new Geranium cups and saucers.




Another single,
is my cabbage leaf dessert / salad plate seen here with my cabbage leaf bowls.



The bottom shelf , 
also features single pieces to my Majolica Bordallo Pinheiro Collection.





All three of these Grapevine Leaf pieces have matching motif.
A pitcher, a dessert / salad plate and a serving platter.






These unique leaf rimmed petite plates are also, Majolica Bordallo Pinheiro.

However, I 'm not familiar with their pattern name or other available pieces.



At that amazing 20% off  Winter $ale,
I also, purchased two more
of the brown rimmed Cabbage Leaf dessert / salad plates.

Enjoy gazing your eyes upon the pieces of my Majolica Bordallo Pinheiro Collection displayed just in time for St. Patrick's Day!















A "perfect time' for featuring my Majolica Bordallo Pinherio Collection
and for welcoming the arrival of Spring!


Until next time. . .

Promise Of Spring. . .

While the sun danced in~and~out of the patio door glass
in On Crooked Creektt's Dining Room,
I captured a few glimpses of the promise of Spring.



Shining silver and sparkling crystal
are two of my favorite things to rest my eyes upon in the Dining Room.


Combine the above with heirloom vintage plates 
and my heart, soul and spirit sing!



Tuck in a few vintage silver teaspoons 
and I begin planning the makings of a Spring Tea!






A precious etched and crystal cut jam jar rest beside a faux bird's nest 
filled with miniature eggs and surrounded with purple flora.



My everyday porcelain china platter and a Johnson Brothers England  saucer 
serve as a crisp Spring backdrop for the left side of my Silver Coffee Service.



A ruffled linen table runner keeps the buffet top protected 
while continuing the neutral color palette.



Heirloom plates on the right feature a hand painted plate from Japan
in hues of blue, green, gold red and purple while a heirloom saucer
surrounded in gold motif features petite purple violets.




The buffet top, also, is filled with simplistic touches of Spring!


A single faux branch and a new RAZ Import bird's nest is all that is needed.








On Crooked Creektt , while the sun dances in~and~out of the patio doors,
I'm enjoying glimpses of Spring's promise.




The promise of Spring. . .
                                                in On Crooked Creektt's Dining Room.

Until next time. . .

Dear Ones,
A second update on the construction of our new Front Porch.
The concrete has all been demolished and "Mr. Ed" and I are awaiting
the arrival of the construction crew to prepare the "forms".

You can be assured there will be some "happy dancing"
On Crooked Creektt once the cement truck arrives!

Fondly,
Pat
