I don’t try to hide the fact at all that I love ironstone. I spotted it about 12 years ago in a magazine and the love has remained constant. I’ve waffled on crazy quilts, baby dresses, milk glass and silver plate, but I have never waffled on ironstone.
My collection has grown to the point that I have to pick and choose what I want to keep and what I want to sell. When I find a new piece I want to keep, I usually get rid of another. Here are a few new acquisitions I decided to keep…
I’m into sugar bowls right now. I’ve been through pitchers and casseroles and now my heart beats fast when I spot a sugar bowl. I sort of like the chunky ones and I don’t mind if the lid is missing, but I love how dainty this one is. It’s a keeper. For now.
I have been selling casseroles lately, because a person only *needs* so many. This one has a very unique shape and is in great condition. Keeper.
…and this last piece is really special. It looks like a little casserole, but the you open it up and see it’s a soap dish! I haven’t seen a piece like this, so…
…you guessed it…
keeper.
I’m heading to Lucketts tomorrow to refill my space (already!) My pair of French chairs and the green built-in cabinet sold, so I’m bringing down a dresser and some smalls I bought while I was out shopping today. I’m also picking up some chairs (one was reupholstered in grain sacks and it’s a keeper) and a dresser. Never a dull moment.
