A New Shabby Shelf for Teacups!




Welcome Sweet Teacup Friends to

"A New Shabby Shelf  for Teacups!"


When Mr. Cottage and I first finished painting the sideboard, the plan was to hang a shelf above it.


  We have been searching for one for some time.
And our treasure hunting paid off!
  

Last weekend we found this one at Penny Pinchers in Bellingham.  

After seeing my eyes light up ~ Hubby knew I spotted the one of my dreams and  he knew that there was no turning back. 


He didn't even complain when hanging it up.


This is how the sideboard  looked  before the shelf...



And After!


Now I have a little more room in my cupboards.

And I can enjoy decorating the shelf and changing it's look.  


Perfect to display Transferware teapots and 
Mason's Vista  teacups?

















Thank you for visiting me today to see

 "A New Shabby Shelf for Teacups!"

Have a Wonderful Week Dear Teacup Friends!

And Happy April to you!

 See you next time.

 Karen

    Dear Karen:
    Your transferware - I love. I just saw on etsy that Vista/Mason's is from the 1930's. I have a few pieces I used last Christmas. It is wonderful. I am wanting to combine these 3: Vista Mason's, Enoch Woods English Scenery and Spode Tower. I love the mixing thing. Your shelf looks wonderful over the buffet! I do so love the shabby chic as it is so FRESH!!!

    Dear Karen,
    What a joy to see your beautiful china displayed that way. The shelf is perfect! You can see them so much better that way. You have an absolutely lovely collection. Like Bernideen, I love the mixing of patterns. I have started collecting pink (or red) transferware dinner plates.
    Great find!!! Ruthie
