ampersandity is definitely one of my new favorite blogs. if you have not been to cathie's blog, you are in for a real treat. cathie is the talented blogger: she blogs about daily inspirations, life, and she takes the most lovely photographs. she also has really sweet calligraphy skills, i am dying for her to open a shop ;) fun fact: i actually got to meet cathie a couple weeks ago and she is just as darling as her blog. we met at a lovely tea shop in orange county and it was so fun to just sit and talk with a friend i felt like i already knew for ages. be sure to check her blog for writings of her daily life, craft projects, thrift finds, and lots of other fabulous things!

In true oh, hello friend fashion, I have for you today a collection of inspirational images. Like Danni, I love collecting vintage plates and other housewares. I’m currently on the hunt for more plates like these. It’s my dream to one day own a large vintage cabinet or create open shelving to display my beautiful collection, just like the ones pictured here. Enjoy!

  3. Awesome pictures! I am looking for a nice hutch for ages already but they are very rare in my country and IF you find one, they go easily for 1000-1500 dollars :(, certainly not for a 100 or so like in Europe or in USA garagesales etc. But not giving up hope! Thanks for sharing the inspiring images!

  12. These vignettes are absolutely inspiring. I love when folks showcase their dishes like this, and these photos offer so many different ideas to do that. Thank you!

  13. Oh..really nice collections..they just look like shops instead of kitchen to me. But it;s really not easy to decorate the kitchen like this in real. or simply it just be a part of the home art installation..haha
