Hi everyone…I’m returning to a somewhat normal existence after being without power for a week. Let me tell you just one thing and then I promise I’ll never mention last week again. I have never been more happy to see that thermostat inch down towards 70 as I was the day we moved back home. Pure delight.
Now…I have wanted to share this enamelware pitcher for quite a while.
It is truly a thing of beauty. The aging adds character and makes me wonder about it’s history. Where has it been? Everyone and everything has a story. I’d love to know the story behind this pitcher.
I found it in this Etsy shop…
I met the owner, Jody, last fall after Miss Mustard Seed mentioned my shop in one of her posts. Jody has given me support and guidance at times when I really needed it. Her taste and instincts where vintage items are concerned is spot on. We live a couple of states apart but I think if we were closer we would have one of those “get together” kind of friendships. Recently she suggested I make a certain item for my shop and honestly, it knocked my socks off. I am certain I would never have thought of it myself. I hope to introduce a new line (you’re going to love it!) sometime next week.
Here are just a few things available in Jody’s shop right now. Her stock is always changing so if you see something you need to act fast. Feel free to pin away! Click on the picture to go to the listing in her shop.
Here is a sneek peek of another new item I will be carrying in my Etsy shop. Lavender sachets. I have wanted to make these for so, so long. They kept being demoted to the bottom of my list until finally I just did it.
I will be selling them in sets of 2 or 3. Linen, ticking and grain sack. All sets will be tied with a zinc tag or vintage button and twine.
Thanks for stopping by…if you have time please pay Jody a visit!

beautiful!
those kinds of friendships are best! :)
Oh, how I want a blue pitcher like that to go with my other blue collectibles of late. What a beauty. Can’t wait to see your new line.
Ann, your pitcher is even prettier with those bright contrasting hydrangeas in it!
I love your lavender sachets! What a great idea! They would be wonderful in drawers, under pillows or just out on a dresser to fill the air with the beautiful scent of lavender!
Beautiful enamelware- you need to share that over at Smiling Sally’s BLUE MONDAY, Ann!
Your sachets are wonderful.
Hugs.
What a beautiful pitcher and the pink hydrangeas are just perfect in it!
Your lavender sachets are so pretty! Heading over to your esty shop to check it out.

I have a white enamel but like yours better. I will stop by her blog. Thanks!
I love the new French pitcher. It’s gorgeous, with just a hint of rust, perfect!!
I love your enamel vase. A perfect turquoise for summer! I have a tiny one, about 6 inches with a handle and some pinkish flowers on it. It’s very old too. I love your sweet lavender sachets. I’m sure they’ll sell well. Glad your temperatures have dropped there. Blessings, Pamela
Ann,

I love that pitcher Ann! Your living room looks beautiful!
I absolutely adore your french enamelware pitcher. I always wonder where my treasures come from. If they could only speak ~ So glad to see you back home and with hydro. Have a lovely day ;-)
It’s stunning and perfectly chippy. Love the patina and the aged look. I bet it does have a story =)
Hooray for the power company! I know you have to be so happy to be back home now. I love your blue pitcher. It looks like it’s related to the pieces my sister recently purchased. Looking forward to seeing your new line!
That blue enamel pitcher is gorgeous. I can see why you liked it. Then you staged it so well. I love your pillows I can see in that photo.
I love the pink hydrangeas in that blue pitcher. Gorgeous. Glad you are home.
What a gorgeous pitcher. Love the color. Your photos are all wonderful, Ann. You really have a great eye for it- xo Diana
That pitcher is just lovely Ann and Jody’s shop is so beautiful! Takes talent to recognize talent. ;-) I love the new sachets too and we will be sure to mention them on Facebook this week!

Ann, I know you are so happy to be back in your home. We are expecting cooler temps here in SC tomorrow. We finally had some rain! Your blue enamelware pitcher is just gorgeous and made even lovelier with that pretty pink hydrangea. No need to dry my hydrangea blossoms-the sun has done it for me! Your sachets will make the greatest gifts, and I always look forward to seeing any of your new items.
Love the blue enamel ware. I have its matching mixing bowl, and Kim has the bread box. I think you both should send them my way. LOL
So glad you have your power back, our temps are back in the 80′s and it’s heavenly.
Fabulous French blue pitcher! Isn’t it fun to think about the history of a piece? Love the great color and your hydrangeas and lime sweet potato vine. Great vignette on the coffee table. Thanks for giving us a sneak peek on the sachets. So sweet.

Love the pitcher – too cute!
Love your french blue pitcher!

The pitcher is beautiful, Ann. I can’t wait to see what you are going to share next week. The sachets are adorable! I’m thinking “gifts” right now so will be in touch.
Glad all is well and that you are back. It’s terribly hot & humid in Texas!

Beautiful pitcher, Ann! That blue is so striking. Glad to hear you finally got power back. I’ll bet you’ll be moving full steam ahead now that you can get back to your sewing!
That is such a pretty enamel pitcher, Ann. The sachets look lovely too.
I love that color of blue, brings life to any room. Richard from My old Historic House.
I know you must have been thrilled to get back home and see that thermostat working it’s way toward 70.
I have been a tad busy. Therefore, I am in and out of blogland. Surprisingly, since we’ve started the basement work I check in more.
I love that blue enamelware pitcher!!
Love this blue enamelware pitcher. Have been looking for one and hope to find it soon. Can’t wait to see your new line.
I love your lavender sachets! I have had these on my “to-do” list for a long time as well… yours are just gorgeous.
Love your enamelware pitcher too!
