Whites gathered in a corner by the hearth.
That chippy wood piece is brimming with texture.
Stacked American pottery.
The large piece is an unmarked McCoy
found at a church sale for three dollars.
I bought it and gleefully ran.
Those little marks on the surface of the pot are often
called flea bites and might detract from the value.
I am not selling it any time soon.
Or ever.
I am traveling to our old house today where the Internet
is as slow as the house is old.
For my new followers(bless you), we have a tumble down antebellum home,
in Middle Georgia, that appears seldom on the blog.
I likely will visit friends, get my thirty three hairs cut, and rearrange some dust.
Thank you for you kind comments about the funeral.
joy and peace
Olive
Nothing makes a girl feel as good as a hair appointment and a day trip to see friends! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHi, Olive
ReplyDeleteI love the chippy wood piece. Loving all those lovely white pieces together. Have a great week.
Hugs,
Vanessa
You're about due for a pleasant day and I hope this proves to be one for you, Olive.

At first I read it as 33 HairCUTS! I am long overdue to get my hair striped -don't ask. I have been thinking of doing all whites and shades thereof. I would throw in one contrast color but it would probably be too um....wrong? I appreciate honesty. Actually, with a black lab it is probably and insane idea.
ReplyDeleteAlso, going back to read your last post....I wanted you to know that I haven't talked to my older sister in 7 years. Right before/during and after our dad died, she turned horrible! Unbelieveable so. I understand and respect your feelings. Protect yourself.
After all you have been thru, a day with friends and a haircut sound like the perfect day of rest and relaxation!!
ReplyDeleteLove your McCoy piece (naturally) and the old, wood chippy piece.
Have a great day!

Olive, I love chippy little flea bites - to me they add charm and character to vintage pieces! What a steal - I would have run, too!
ReplyDeleteDonna
Love you collection. Isn't is something how pieces like these look so darn good just stacked in a corner! Add a pinch of hydrangea and it's BEAUTIFUL! Hmmm, old home...do show more! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Olive! Oh, these are lovely white pieces! Love your vignette and hope you're having a great day.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Rearrange the layers of dust...I love it!! You have such a great sense of humor. And while I'm gushing, I have meant to say that I love that you have let your natural pretty gray come through, it's very becoming!
ReplyDeleteI love your arrangements of white pots on the hearth, it gives me an idea! ;-)
XO,
Jane
Olive, I love all our whites and I have never heard the term flea bites. I have learned something new today:)
ReplyDeleteOlive,I love white and especially the collection you've put together.
ReplyDeleteHave lots of fun rearranging dust Olive, nothing could be more satisfying!!! The distressed wood looks for all the world as if a little piece of Italy landed in Georgia - it is a lovely bit of wood.
ReplyDeleteYour corner of whites is so pretty. Have fun visiting friends, rearranging dust and getting your 33 hairs cut! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove those urns!!!
ReplyDeleteYour gathered whites are beautiful, Olive.
ReplyDeleteNice vignette! Lovin' that McCoy-enjoy:@)
ReplyDeleteOlive,
ReplyDeleteYou had me at whites. Loving your vignette.
Enjoy your time at the old house, Olive. Having sketchy internet is often a blessing... Ann
ReplyDeleteI like a few flea bites myself. I think it gives them character. Have fun at the old house and enjoy your time with your friends.
ReplyDeleteLove the McCoy piece~that is a real find! I was just catching up on your last post...funerals are hard enough without family drama, too...I hope you can get some rest and relaxation at your other home XO
ReplyDeleteOlive, Soryy i missed the post of the funeral. I know your aunt was special to you. Please accept my condolences. I wish you peace.
ReplyDeleteYour white items look so nice. That big pot is really wonderful. xoxoxo,Susie
Simplicity is perfection, especially this time of year. Travel safely.........Sarah
ReplyDeleteHi Olive! So nice to "meet" you via your comment on my blog post about my Valentine mantel. I think I'll browse around your place for awhile. :)
ReplyDeleteOk, so I just read your entire Hold Everything Lightly series and I LOVED it. I want more!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about a family funeral. Stacked whites are so refreshing.
ReplyDeleteHave fun rearranging the dust and getting those hairs snipped. I have an uncle who always calls it "getting my ears lowered." Love, love, love the chippy wood piece...
ReplyDeleteThree bucks ~ love it. I have the same pot in pink and thought fifteen dollars was a good deal. Have fun at the old house ~ and stay warm.
ReplyDeletemy question is how can you tell if it's McCoy if it's not marked? Love it all, my dear. Read you post on the funeral. you are brave. xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou have such a wonderful eye Olive!
