Pearls and Lace Thursday #98 Hand Painted China Love

Getting the house cleaned up this week.  Laundry room...finished!

Kitchen...floors still to do

Living Room...almost done

and the rest?  Well, let's say there's still next week!!

I must admit...I'm NOT a very good housekeeper, and yet I love a clean house!

How is that?  Well, I'm just busy doing other things!!!

Like taking pictures or decorating something.

You know....

I have these dishes that are my very favorites.  I have a huge cloche that I keep them under, and the whole collection sits front and center in the entry to my kitchen.

It is the prettiest grouping with all the pastel shades...blues, pinks and yellows.

I did a post about them a year ago, it's located  here  where you can see the whole set on my table.

Below is a mosaic of the pics from that post:

The delicate hues and the softness of the painting make these so romantic, don't you think?

Seriously.  When there are pretty things to look at, and play with, who wants to clean house??

It's time for Pearls and Lace Thursday!  I'm late getting this posted...and if you look at the time stamp down below, you can tell just how late!!

Add the url code of your post to the link below and let's forget about the house work for a while!!

I will also be joining a few parties at the sites listed below.  Be sure and check out the gorgeous posts out there!!

Have a lovely week!

Blessings, Doni
