Do any of you have that ONE thing that you can just never pass up, no matter how much you already have? I have a ton of collections and in most cases when I fill up an allotted space with a given collection, I generally stop buying whatever it is. That is not the case for ironstone! I can never resist a piece of ironstone - it's my ONE thing I can never walk away from. The way I justify buying so much ironstone is that we actually do use it on a daily basis. Some of it sits on a shelf looking pretty, while the rest is functional. We've replaced all of our old plates, bowls and cups with nothing but ironstone and I love it!!!! The best part is that I find most of it at thrift stores for great prices! I pretty much use it anyway I can all around the house, so today I'm sharing my collection with you! Some of it you've seen before, some you have not! :) Here are my barn wood shelves I've shared before with the majority of my collection. And my door shelf I also use ironstone: On our desk In my craft room And in the bathroom And here are other pieces I have collected Platters - which we use These are the plates we use daily Countertop vignette Bowls Tureen - a gift from my boss!! Such pretty details! This tureen is my most recent purchase! I bought it from my friend Janet at White Barn Vintage!! We use this bowl for our fruit and veggies I think this is a butter dish? I've never seen another one like it before. I think this might be an underplate to something. We use it as a spoon rest on the stove. I'm even willing to part with some for my etsy shop: HERE And HERE I'm sure I'll have more pieces to share with you soon! What's your ONE thing?

Long before they became preoccupied by hectic jobs and mortgages, '90s kids' biggest concerns were mastering the art of balancing a bean bag on their head - or choosing a Word Art headline.
I think it’s one of the ways we deal with pain, I like to think that it happens subconsciously. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or not. If it’s the right thing to do or not but it helps a little. I was bullied in secondary school and it was the time of […]

Non si può vivere senza sogni. Lo sguardo si appanna, si sedimenta il materialismo, ci si trascina senza gioia e il male di vivere si palesa potentemente, nonostante gli sforzi volti a sotterrare il nostro essere primordiale sotto il grigiore di un'apparente tranquillità.

The Crystal Ball, 1902, John William Waterhouse, Sorceress, SEER, Fortune teller, antique art print, 11x14" Cotton Canvas Print, 9x13 1/2" Cotton Canvas Print, This print may need custom framing. We can easily add a border, of your choice, to make i fit into a standard sized frame. Colors will vary due to your monitor settings Free ship US You frame it! NOTE: Our prints are taken from an antique/vintage paintings, greeting cards, post cards etc.. Much of the time, these were originally printed on a soft and porous paper, which softened the images. They didn't have the technology back then to photo-shop and fix these images. That is why I chose to reproduce only antique art in it's original content (no photo-shop). I love the old school art. These are also paintings and drawings, and so the styles vary. The papers we use today, have special coatings so that they attract the inks or dyes well, and stop much of the seeping of the inks. Our new technologies print exactly what is on the scan of the original image. If you purchase canvas, it is made of cotton, and even though it also has this special coating, it is textured, and softens the look of the final result. It is archival, and of the highest quality, but is best for paintings since they were mostly created on artist canvas. It is important to note that if you are buying on your phone or tablet, the images you see are only tiny thumbnails, and so you can't really see the detail in the scan on the listing. If you can look on a computer, you can then see the depth and detail of the image you want. Artwork is not created equal, and sometimes there are clear and distinct lines, and other times the style is less detailed. Lastly, Colors will vary slightly, due to the difference in your monitor settings. Please zoom in on the image to see the detail. If you are looking for an art print with lots of detail, you must chose one that shows it. Please zoom in on the listing to see the detail. These are prints, taken from original paintings and prints. All art is not created equal. The piece you choose will reflect the work of the artist. We are printers, and our sophisticated equipment enlarges each scan, pixel x pixel. We do not skew or stretch the art to fit the frame. We do not photoshop. The print you receive is the one shown on the listing, only larger. Cotton canvas is textured in little squares, and shows in the print. I have had complaints about this, as some buyers think the art is pixelated. This is not the case. If you do not want the soft look of canvas, please choose a satin canvas or poster paper. Please DO ask questions before you buy. Our prints are designed to fit into a standard frame, and do not come mounted on board. This art print was taken from a vintage painting, print, postcard or digital source. Your print will be an exact copy. Please see the scan in the listing, and zoom in. All quoted shipping costs are USA only. I will ship to your country, via first class intl. USPS, but please contact me for a quote before you buy. All art prints are custom designed to fit into a standard, modern frame. The openings on these frames are smaller than the listed size. Your print will be slightly larger than the opening. You can carefully trim it to fit your frame, and pop it in, with or without a mat. Each print is made as it is ordered. Please convo me if you need a specific size. We use real cotton artist's canvas, and the newest technology to enlarge the images pixel x pixel. There is no stretching or skewing, Cotton canvas is textured in tiny squares, and produces a soft finish like a painting. Since it is fabric, it grabs the color for an extraordinary presentation. I use archival canvas, and special dyes to print each image. They will last 100 years under normal circumstances. Your monitor settings will vary from mine, so colors may look different to you than they really are. Color match technology produces exact colors to the image file used. Satin canvas is also textured, but it not as dense. It has a semi-gloss light and moisture proof finish. It is great for posters, too. NO stretching or mounting is needed. No need for expensive, custom framing. I use special, secure packing materials, to insure that your item arrives safely. I don't have any control over postal delivery, but will do my best to help track your package. Please do not leave unfavorable feedback due to postal errors. I have been collecting and selling art prints for many years. I may have just what you are searching for. Just ask, and I will create a special listing, just for you. Thank you for your interest.
