No Reason at All and My Kitchen Dolls

No rhyme nor reason for this weeks tablescape. Just some things I pulled together that I thought looked fun, colorful and reflected a bit of my own personality.




I just love these shallow bowls and the large white dinner plate. I bought both of them at TJMaxx in the clearance aisle for less then $2 each. Love the turquoise bowl and wish I could find the entire set!






Next is my Turkey Bowl, another favorite dish. I bought this about ten years ago for my Thanksgiving Tablescape. But I do use it throughout the year. I wish I could find more of these too. Oh maybe someday at a garage sale!






The Duck Tureen was a wedding present and it is huge. I do so love it but I've only been able to use it twice in 25 years. It's just so big that it's almost impractical. It came with a gorgeous matching porcelain ladle.




And here's another of my pitchers. This one is small and made in Germany. I bought it last year at a garage sale for $2. Honestly, it's one of my favorites and I use it all the time, not only for serving but I use it to hold liquids when prepping my recipes.




This little vase is absolutely my favorite vase ever. I actually bought it as a gift but then found something else more appropriate and the vase became mine. It has a little, removable frog insert, shown in the 2nd picture, to hold each flower stem. It's a clever design and I wish I could find more!






I have always been a doll person from the time I can remember. And I have every one of my dolls that I've ever owned. I now collect rag dolls and I do keep some in my kitchen to keep me company as I bake. One of my friends requested to see some and so here they are.

This little sweetie sits on my decorative cover to my range hood. She just sits there very peacefully and has not fallen yet. ;)



These 2 small wooden dolls were made in Sweden and they sit in my bookcase for my cookbooks.



These 2 cuties sit in the window in the eating area of my kitchen. Again, they just sit there and have not fallen out yet!



This is my Sink Doll. I have 2 sinks in my kitchen so most of the time she sits right here on the corner and seems to be very happy.
