I collect a lot of antiques. It wasn’t always on purpose, some items I’ve been given by family over the years, others I’ve found at shops in my travels. But I am drawn to things that are pretty and happen to be old.
Now, of course, that I am watching Downton Abbey (awesome show FYI) I can’t help but notice those early 1900s pieces that are beautiful (and that remind me of pieces I have in my own home).
I thought I would share some of them with you once and a while, if nothing else, it will be a nice catalogue for me to have!
Folding Serving Dish:
This was my grandmother’s. I have used it for serving desserts and treats. I love how it folds up for easy (and pretty!) storage.
It folds up neatly, but when it’s unfolded, it’s even more beautiful:
Remember I said it reminds me of Downton Abbey? Look what we saw when watching the show last night:
How fun is that?!
I’ll share more of my favourite pieces. Do you have antiques or older items that are special to you?
