Ironstone and Primitives or Lace and Promises?

I hear the rumblings of rain.
Oh, how we need it.

I miss my children on Sunday nights 
more than any other time in the week.

So I blog and find connection.
It's here that I find the community 
that I so long for. 


I found this great book at Goodwill in Nashville.
Thumbing through the pages, I thought of Francine 
at Primitive Stars.


The book is full of Primitives. 
I love ironstone and primitives and white lace and promise
so I flipped to my favorite pages. 


Yesterday I found this pretty ironstone platter 
in one of the shops.  Two platters for $4.


I love the scalloped edges. 


I recently added a stack of saucers to my collection 
of ironstone.  I will go back and pick up 
the stack of plates if they are still there this weekend. 

When the kids were little, mama always grilled hamburgers
 after church on Sunday nights.
When my parents became "little", I made
breakfast on Sunday nights. 

Feeling a bit melancholy tonight.

Blessings for a great week, 

Bonnie:)

  4. I could write a book about community and the quest to find it after you are alone--not an easy chore and not fair to look to our children for the answers. TOUGH ONE!

  5. This is a sweet and poignant post and one that many of us, for one reason or another, can relate to. I think that paging through an inspiring book and looking at beautiful things can bring about a tiny shift - sometimes just enough to pick me up as much as I need in that moment.

  10. You're good at finding new doo-dads. We'll have to go "antiguing" some day. I enjoy collecting realistic bird statues for the shelves.
    Hope you're week runs smoothly. ~:)

  14. This ironstone is really IN with many of the bloggers right now. It's so classic and pretty. What a great magazine to read. I need a good magazine to browse through. Autumn will be here soon; maybe I'll get a good one then.

    love,
