maria grossman...



just love the way in which german stylist maria grossman gathers objects to create pictorial scenes... images which seem to both capture surreal little moments and live outside of time...

sneak peak...




a little peak at a few of the vintage lovelies that will be popping up in the shop this week...

we have several new handmade pieces as well, which we'll share later




a pretty german floral platter.  so lovely to set down a nice big vintage platter in the middle of your table, as the family gathers for the meal; sitting so prettily on display between meals...





three lovely hand painted royal york bread and butter plates... love to use these around the house as candle holders, or as under-plates for pitchers of flowers, or simply as sweet little catch-all plates on end tables (and, of course, mixed with other vintage dishes on the dinner table)...








the loveliest shade of blue.  a pretty divided dish, and matching sauce pitcher, in the taylor smith taylor boutonniere pattern...








just love pretty bowls of various size, stacked up on the kitchen shelf, and adding a little bit of special to the dinner table...








another sweet set, from the taylor smith taylor 'ever yours' line.  this time in the 'autumn harvest' pattern.  a pretty platter and bowl, ready for the changing season and cooling weather...








a wee little blue pottery bud vase. the simplicity and size of this one is just so wonderful...
