When I was packing for our house move, I discovered that I owned a lot of ceramic pieces- especially jugs and cups. Really, lots of them. I was brave and donated many to the second-hand store, but kept my favourite ones.
Turns out they fit perfectly on the mantlepiece and noone seems to mind me making collections of things around the house. I love creamy-coloured things, especially when the sun shines through the living room window onto them.
Hope you're having a good day today.
I can see you are making each & every corner a dreamy little place to be in 🙂

I seem to collect a lot of jugs on my travels too. But my collection isn’t as beautiful as yours. They look perfect on your pretty mantle.

that is the thing i love best about moving, the editing. collections become so much more special when pared down, and the beauty of each can really shine.

What a great collection and it looks so perfect running along your mantle.
And is that a paperwhite? Sigh…we really do live on opposite sides of the earth. I would die for a blast of cold air right now.

Oh, so lovely. I’ve been noticing the same as we get ready to move, it’s going to be tough to part with them! I’m consoling myself with the knowledge that I can explore new Op Shops back home!

I’ve recently discovered same thing: I own a lot of ceramics. As we’re moving, I’m trying to let go of a few, take them to the recycling centre, but like you, I have to keep the prettiest ones. Your collection looks beautiful, and is definitely an inspiration.

I used my collection for small flower bouquets on the tables covered with vintage linens at the wedding party in my backyard.
