Beautiful roses

Not in the garden, unfortunately, ours haven't started flowering yet, but on some gorgeous pieces I found at a boot fair not long ago. I couldn't believe it when I saw this lovely big set of matching pieces -

There is a set of three jugs in different sizes -


A small round wash bowl and water jug -

A large oval wash bowl and oval water jug -

I love the deep pink which frames the gorgeous rose design so beautifully -

I have finally finished my apron for Luisa from Dance in my Garden. I can't show you any photos yet, that will have to wait until she receives it, of course. It was such a lot of fun searching through my fabric stash and picking a fabric, and all the other bits and pieces for the apron. I think the last time I made an apron I was about ten years old and my grandmother showed me how to.

And because this is such an uncharacteristically short post, I'll give you some sweet images, which you may be able to use in your artwork -

They are beautiful. I would love those but I am trying so hard to clean out some of the stuff I already have. I wish I had a thrift store so I could have pretty things to look and at then sell them. Got your package. Don't remember winning anything though. But my memory is something else.

I can't believe how beautiful your roses are compared to ours. I never seem to find the "correct" roses, neither here in Norway nor in Sweden. Again, must go to the UK for bargain hunting :)

Wow, Liz! What gorgeous china set! They are really amazing.
I am planning to go to the car boot this coming Sunday (weather permitting and Hubby being up to it as we don't have any where I can go on foot). Hope I can find lovely things like you do. :)

Oh my! These pieces are amazing. The rose pattern is so very beautiful.
Are those knife rests I see in the picture? Whatever they are I think they are very pretty.

What beautiful painted roses! Wow - 3 graduated sized pitchers - what a find! And, the matching pitcher and bowl, also! It's hard to imagine such a boot sale - one that would have fabulous items like these! They are all lovely!
Thank you for posting the sweet vintage images as well!
