Hi Rachel! So great to hear from you, as always. My 25 year old son was here today and watched this video with me. And what does he say? "Mom, her voice is so soothing, she should make nap time videos"!! I laughed so hard, but it's true...you are a treasure. I said from the beginning, you are "America's Sweetheart". We love you and Matt. Blue & White transferware is so beautiful, and you make displays so appealing. What I notice most about you, you can move a piece to a different area and Voila, a whole different display, or feel. It never gets boring, ever. Thank you for being here, so many of us look forward to hearing from you🌷🥰 Lina

Aw, how nice! I appreciate your kind words. It is encouraging to know that these visits are enjoyable and profitable to others. Thank you for sharing!

Your video is wonderful, those pieces spectacular, good inspiration for use of my pieces. As a little girl, there wasn't much under the Christmas tree due to poverty. But I could still dream, in those days over the lovely things in the Sears Christmas catalogue, Once, I saw a set of children's blue and white ceramic dishes. Knowing I could never presume to ask my wonderful parents for such an extravagance, I had never forgotten those dishes. So, to this day, my enjoyment from blue and whites collected over the years has helped me decorate my home, Thank You, sincerely, from a Canadian dairy farmer's daughter, retired.

Blue & white is a timeless classic!

It’s a good idea to add a glass to ANY piece you plan to use for flowers, even if it isn’t already cracked or crazed. I discovered that not using a liner when arranging flowers can cause the piece to discolor and craze.

That is a beautiful collection of blue and white! Blue is not my color but if I had to buy a piece or two, I would look into your pieces. I love the soft blue color and style of each piece you have!

I so enjoyed seeing your collection. I, too, love blue and white china (and cobalt and milk glass). Several years ago, I removed my shallow basket collection from my soffit over my kitchen cabinets and hung up some of my blue and white plates--a mix of thrifted souvenir plates, Blue Willow types, and English Staffordshire types. My "good" dishes are Royal Mail in blue, a Staffordshire china. I never tire of them all. THEN, my Christmas church fair had Better Homes & Gardens swag curtains with b & w jugs and dishes on the borders. Perfect! Last year when I had to get a new refrigerator, I asked my tall son to hang my copper mold collection on the 2 walls behind the fridge--another touch that makes me smile!

Oh my goodness, your handmade block print lamp shades are absolutely gorgeous!!!!! I just found a small lamp shade and some red print fabric for $1.99 at my local thrift store to try my hand at making one. I will have to find your tutorial. Blue and white is my favorite, and lucky for me, I have been collecting for 40 years, when it was very affordable. You have some amazing pieces. Love the mini soup tureen and butter dish base. I have learned to really check size details when ordering off Etsy too. Now I would be on the hunt for a tiny spreader knife in blue and white. I believe Spode makes a set. Maybe you could find a single one on line. Your kitchen is the most cozy, cottage kitchen I have seen. What a beautiful job you and your husband have done. Its so satisfying to watch your vision come to fruition.

I have been looking at Homesense ( as some KZreadrs have mentioned they carry them. Not Vintage but more affordable). But Our TJ Max doesnt seem to carry any when i go. I haven't been to a Antique Store in ages, but i will definitely start sourcing Etsy. They are such beautiful and tineless pieces indeed! 😁😀. It SO fun to Gather such beautiful pieces for Our Cozy English Cottage, isn't it?? Your Home is so pretty! I hope you and Matt have a beautiful weekend! PS.

10:25 it doesn't surprise me that your love of everything 🇬🇧 English extends to parfums as well: spotting the 'Yardley' bottle on your bathroom shelf. Same here for this 🇳🇱 "Anglophile" girl😅, who, like you, loves everything 🇬🇧: from their history, gardens, books/Art and foods to fragrances. Oh my goodness, (as a European) I never would have thought/guessed that you spend sooo much money for single, often even damaged, 🇬🇧 "blue transverse ware" items. That's one expensive pursuit/hobby. Now I would really love to know how "expensive" these items would be, if they were found in a Goodwill Shop (thriftstore) or Carboot sale (garage/yard sale) back here in England. The blue tile "backsplash" (landscape), you spotted in the Antique store: isn't 🇬🇧British. It's 🇳🇱Dutch blue 'Delft Ware'. And shows a 16th century riverside town view with our destictive 'trapgevel' (gabled) town houses✌🏻. Oh, and your Salt box and Flower frog are NOT decorated in an 🇬🇧 print. Thats is the famous 🇩🇪German "Zwiebelmuster" (Union-Print) originally from the 'Meissen' porcelain factory. Which was later also copied/produced/sold by the porcelain factories 'Huttensteinach', 'Regout' and 'Société Céramique' here in Europe 🇪🇺. I hope the winner will be really happy with their flower-frog. 😊👋🏻🇳🇱

I love your collection! Just recently my sister passed on a tip to 'clean' up the cloudy stain marks and cracks in pieces like this--by using a denture fizzy tablet in water. I found that I had to use several tablets and even repeat the process for some stubborn stains to disapear or fade. While I had varying degrees of success, they look so much better now.

Hi Rachel - I'm always excited for a new video. Because of you, I've expanded my collection, and my newer pieces are similar to ones you have that I didn't realize I "needed". In the photo of the flower frog, I see the girls at the piano piece of art that I recently purchased from you. I also found a new consignment store and got a big Spode platter with a scalloped edge for $45. It turns out to be limited edition and only found one on line for over $100! Thanks for making me realize that the pieces don't have to be perfect (hence garnering a better price) to still be used.
