Welcome to Country Whites Weekend.
When you enter my cottage home, you are greeted by my hand painted white curio cabinet in the entry
.
I have loved this piece for 20 years and have filled it in many different ways and with many unique treasures.
Presently, I am so enjoying my pretty whites on display.
With springtime on the way, it is light, fresh and reflective.
Above the curio, on the wall,
I display my cross collection and the word faith,
which always stays aglow from the light coming through the window.
Inside are special treasures from family and friends.
Great Grandpa's pocket watch in a white base cloche, still set on the time he passed away.
It will forever be kept at this time.
Behind is a vintage platter along side a pretty white creamer.
Hand Painted white birds sit atop a vintage white cook book of Miss Gimble's desserts and sweet winter plate just behind.
Small sewing drawer filled with white roses
on a book box with vintage platter.
Beloved white pitcher and bowl,
hand created by my dear mother in 1980.
My newest addition found before the holiday.
Italian made pitcher with a black and white cow.
Love this treasure!
Favorite treasure from a friend.
A reminder of the blessing
to have special friends.
Thank you for stopping by to visit another
Enjoy the fun!
Hugs,
Celestina Marie

So very beautiful. I have always loved how certain families stop the hands of a clock when a loved one passes.........so touching! How wonderful to have something so beautiful that your mother created. I think I know where you got your creative genes from.........so lovely!
I love the display of crosses! So heart touching about your grandfather's passing and the hands of the clock. Your mother was also as talented as you!
What a beautiful curio cabinet filled with such wonderful treasures. I LOVE the pieces made by your Mom. And how special to have your Granddad's watch- xo Diana
Hi Celestina and I LOVE your cabinet and all the treasures inside! I too have many, many things collected over the years from family and friends and one day I hope to find the ideal cabinet in which to display them!
Thanks for sharing these wonderful mementos and have a super weekend!

I always love the way you show how beautiful "white" can be when one would think that they need other colors to make a room! So romantic and elegant!
What a gorgeous collection of whites Celeste! And so special to have your great granddad's watch and the pitcher & bowl made by your Mom. I love them all. The collection of crosses is perfect over your curio cabinet. You have a perfect decorating eye!
I finally got a chance to catch up on your posts and I LOVE the Paris trays!! too cool Celeste! I've never seen those cool looking letters at our sad Ohio dollar stores. LOL I love each one of the trays that you made.
I pray you are feeling a bit better. I'm sure it's a slow process. So get your rest girlfriend! And listen to Dr Larry.
Love & hugs to you both! Sherry
PS Happy Valentines a bit late.
The pieces your mom made are beautiful and my favorite items in your curio! Your mom was very creative, and you have followed in her footsteps!

I love your collection of pretty crosses! I'm your newest follower. IT's nice to meet you, too! Jean
What a beautiful collection of keepsakes Celeste! Your crosses are gorgeous, and I love your Grandfathers watch set at the time he passed, so touching. Your cabinet is awesome, I have seen similar cabinets in dark wood but they don't hold a candle to yours! ~Diane
Yours is a beautiful cabinet to display all of your lovely white treasures and remembrances. Your special collection of crosses are so appropriately placed with "faith."

Everything is so pretty Celeste... did you paint your crosses?... I seemed to remember they were different?... hope you are feeling much better now and enjoying some nice weather... love to you, xoxo Julie Marie
So many pretty whites Celeste, I especially admire the pitcher and bowl by your mother, it's exquisite. As you may remember, I have quite a passion for jugs, particularly white ones. Hope you are having a lovely week!

Beautiful whites Celestina Marie. Did you paint your curio cabinet white? I have an oak secretary that reminds me of it. Right now it is at my sons home. Love the pitcher made by your mother.

Hello Celestine,
Your beautiful whites in your home are like the beauty of a snowy white wintery day here.
Thank you for sharing another wonderful post of your heritage and home.
hugs, Eileen
Having beautiful items to display is always nice, but when they have a story to go with them and evoke memories - now those are treasures!
Thanks for sharing yours.
Hello my dear friend,
Your curio cabinet is just beautiful, filled with treasures and lovely memories. I do love a collection of white and your crosses above it are so pretty too.
I must apologize as I haven't been by in a while. I was away and then was ill for a while. Now it's a back issue. But there are better days ahead!
I hope you're having a delightful weekend and Congratulations on the upcoming feature in Romantic Homes magazine!
Blessings and hugs,
Sandi
