Today I am sharing some Homer Laughlin
"George Washington" inspired transferware
I found about a year ago.
It was made in the USA too
I have mixed it with other
red transferware pieces:
I had seen one of these teapots a few years ago in Colorado but it had a broken lid
poorly glued back together. Patience is only occasionally availed to me but eventually
as I waited I found a perfect one in Denver, Colorado.
I love these sweet George and Martha bookends:
I want to wish everyone (here in the USA) a Happy 4th of July!
I am one of many who are so sad to see the values of our great country being dissolved every day
little by little.
little by little.
May God restore
America is my prayer.
Prayer and God have been removed from
everything possible. It is very sad.
God Bless America
While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free.
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer:
God bless America, land that I love,
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans white with foam,
God bless America,
My home sweet home.
This was another vintage item I found -
a little oval of Martha Washington:
Good morning, Ruth! What a wonderful post you've shared today and yes, God Bless America! You certainly have some beautiful pieces of red transferware on display. Thank you so much for hosting and Happy 4th to you and your hubby!
ReplyDeleteHappy Independence Day, Bernideen! Thank you for hosting and sharing your wonderful collection of red transferwares. I'm so glad that waiting for a better teapot to come along paid off for you. Patience definitely plays an important role in the collecting game!
ReplyDeleteHi Bernideen...a perfect patriotic tribute for the 4th! I love all you transferware and how fun you found a George Washington jug! Just love it! Hope your day is "sparkling"! Thanks for hosting and linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

Happy 4th of July, my friend! I hope you have a beautiful day celebrating your country. I too am sad for the Christian principles being thrown out one by one in our own country. On April 1st of this year, PEI was the last province in Canada to legalize abortion. A very sad day for those of us who believe in the right to life for the unborn.
ReplyDeleteI am simply swooning over your transferware! I so love the red/pink! You have a gorgeous collection and thank you for sharing it with us today.
Blessings,
Sandi
Oh, that teapot is beautiful!! I've never seen that pattern; perfect for the Fourth. I love red transfer ware; collecting it was my introduction into the world of china. I inherited some pieces from my grandmother and wanted to add to her collection, and the rest is history! What a beautiful cabinet to display your pretty china. And yes, it is shocking and sad to see how far things have slid in my lifetime. My hope is that there is still a good remnant praying; may God be merciful to us all. xo Deborah

Hello Bernideen,

Hi Bernideen, love your red transferware for the 4th, the teapot is perfect for the occasion! Yes, my prayer is that America would come back to God and be one Nation under God once again.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised I didn't see you at the Mall yesterday, I was there first thing and last thing for a while.
Talk to you soon,
Gina
What beautiful transferware, Bernideen! I have never seen any like it. The teapot was worth the wait!
ReplyDeleteI share your concerns and prayers for our country. So sad to see our values and liberties eroding. God is able to turn things around, however, starting in the hearts and lives of individuals.
Bernideen, I sometimes will serve ice cream (only homemade and in a teacup) at an outdoor summer tea. I'll be serving this at a peach-themed tea in the gazebo next month. I love your posts about small Missouri towns -- they make me want to take a road trip!
ReplyDeleteLoving your red dishes! I am a HUGE sucker for dishes of any kind! LOL! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat and appropriate post! And you managed to make it pretty with those dishes! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with us on the Art of Home-Making Mondays at Strangers & Pilgrims on Earth!
