THE TROUBLE WITH ME

 

THE TROUBLE WITH ME  

Bernideen Canfield 

September 19, 2023

 

The trouble with me is extensive

I want things that look expensive

I look at antiques and see “past” expense

Which thrills my heart most extensive.

 

You see, I don’t want to see Tupperware

Or plastic things which make me glare

Or those 50’s pyrex bowls that cause a stare

Yes, let’s move on to the vintage transferware

 

And then at old linens I’ll take a pause

As I go through the stacks and think of a clause

There’s Grandma’s crochet she made when very old

She’s gone now – I’m here now - please mark it sold!

 

So, don’t show me your leather, I don’t want your chrome.

That really doesn’t set a very warm home

A lace tablecloth, etched glasses and a glass cake platter

And a buffet set with all those memories that matter.

 

As I squeeze in a teacup and move things around

That teapot goes nicely  – so glad it was found

As I study the display and step back to admire

I’m  thankful to God for these treasures acquired.

FALL HAS ARRIVED AT OUR HOUSE

 

I seem to have a lot of Fall looking

transferware so I bring it out in the

fall and it all seems to mix and match

together for this season.

The table in the dining area is set

even though no one is coming for 

dinner.  I have some new to me "old

glasses" I picked up during a sale

at an antique mall.

Lately I have accumulated some

old vintage napkins that I love.

You can see one of the Heisey

etched glasses below.  I never

knew much about them but am

learning.

I have been following a site on FB

that is all about antique lace.  I

have learned some things but 

never realized how many types of

lace there are or about making it.

Do you decorate for fall?  Inside

or out?

WHO NEEDS AN ANTIQUE LACE TEA COZY

 

This has sold!

WHEN FALL APPROACHES INSIDE AND OUT

The garden has been thirsty for

 rain far too

often this summer.

I noticed a sweet bird nest tucked up in

the bittersweet:

 

I decided to welcome fall's soon

arrival by getting out my fall looking

transferware and setting the table.

 

I love the look of mix and

match transferware.

And a quilt to welcome

the season:

This year I decided to tuck a few

tomato plants and peppers

in with the flowers. 

I think I will do more next year.
