Lovin' The Traditional. . .

Dear Ones, 
May I just say, "I'm l o v i n' the Traditional decor
On Crooked Creek more with each Season that passes!"

When removing the Christmas greenery and lanterns
from atop the China Hutch and Buffet,
I kept a streamlined decor. 


The only changes recently made,
are a change of dresser scarf, linen tea towel,
and the message and ribbon on the silver tray chalkboard
from Winter's Twilight in January. (here)

Not only do we welcome 
our family and guests, On Crooked Creek,
we, also, welcome the onset of Spring!

The upper hutch has been cleared of excessive decor pieces
and remained that way during the streamlining process!

These porcelain woven white baskets
were an Anniversary gift from "Mr. Ed"
during a trip to Nell Hill's Briarcliff Store in Kansas City.

This creamy ivory urn shaped planter
is an oops! piece from the Antique Shop
where I formerly worked. (The back side has a huge crack.)

An heirloom crystal etched vase
belonging to my beloved maternal Grandmother. . .


and a crystal etched jelly jar from a life~long friend!

From our travels in Europe,
a footed crystal candy dish with a frosted butterfly lid. . .

resides beside a matching crystal vase!

This reticulated porcelain compote 
is an heirloom from my childhood.

I don't remember seeing the interior design 
before MoMa gave me this compote ~ 
as it was always filled with bananas or grapes.

My all time favorite white porcelain vase!!!
Oh so Frenchy and feminine!!!

Light, bright with a streamlined visual appeal.
I think this look definitely has longevity in
On Crooked Creek's China Hutch and Buffet!

Fondly,
Pat
Until next time. . .

    Pat, you have really captured the beauty of your hutch and all that lives inside!
    I love the silver service and the sweet linen tea towel.

    Your welcome sign is absolutely charming! Perfect for spring.... all of it!

    I have brought many pieces of crystal from Europe to. It is funny how our taste change. Your pieces are beautiful and I always love your hutch.

    Hi Pat, I love your hutch..and the white and crystal pieces are very classic. My husband just brought me home a clear etched bowl from the Habitat for Humanity thrift store near where he works...I love it. Have a good day...Debra Sue

    It's all lovely, Pat. I love that you don't remember the design of the reticulated dish, but do remember its contents of long ago. You have so many lovely and special pieces. I'm with you on keeping it simple this time of year; I've done the same. Lovely! ~Zuni

    What a great welcome to spring. :)
    I love your pretty hutch and the way you have it decorated.
    Will I ever have "pretty" around me again? This move is taking too long...we don't know what the heck we are doing....sometimes it seems we move one pile of STUFF to another room...and then back again. I have finally figured out that, in order to sort thru and pack, you ARE going to have a mess. And, messes and I don't do well together. :)

    Lovely. I love the crispness and clean lines. What sweet memories you must have when seeing the beautiful etched glass and compote dish.
    Thank you for sharing.

    Your cabinet looks so fresh and clean for the new season - love all the white. I just happened to notice you have a soldier in Japan - my son is special forces stationed in Okinawa! I'll keep your soldier in my prayers.
    Hope you can stop by the enchanted oven.
    xo,
    Lisa
