My favorite collection, chicken salt and pepper shakers, needs a new home and I'm having trouble deciding what to do. The way they're displayed now is a little too "granny" - I'd like to upgrade them to be a bit more "chic". (is that even possible?) I may showcase one at time under a glass cloche just for fun.Tracy Watierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06173203339834757559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964224117445332873.post-86741947698948008542010-04-01T13:56:17.930-07:002010-04-01T13:56:17.930-07:00Hi Kelley,

Love your collections and love all the info I get here. When we moved in here there was a pretty big Roseville vase in the basement, it has 2 small chips so it's probably worthless though.<br /><br />~janetthe gardener's cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447809353998632722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964224117445332873.post-63227836304416006832010-04-01T11:50:54.702-07:002010-04-01T11:50:54.702-07:00HI Kelley, as you know I am so happy to have found...HI Kelley, as you know I am so happy to have found your blog, it's a wonderful breath of fresh air!<br /><br />I have a thing for Roseville, the colors, the thirties-looking shapes and details...you have a really nice collection.<br /><br />As for freakin' firkins...glad to know what those things are called!!<br /><br />x<br /><br />Kit*Chic Provence*https://www.blogger.com/profile/06520485138167646348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964224117445332873.post-46460970285320157402010-04-01T09:26:46.120-07:002010-04-01T09:26:46.120-07:00Hi Jane, that is such a great comment! If I'm...Hi Jane, that is such a great comment! If I'm thinking about collecting something new, which I try not to do these days, I pick something that no one else is collecting right now. It may have been hot ten years ago, so your chances of getting someone's older collection for much less are pretty good. Joan from: for the love of a house, should weigh in here. She was an antiques dealer so I bet she has some great suggestions! <br /><br />Hi Peggy: thanks for discovering me too : )<br /><br />Hi Rosie Campbell: I just love your name!! <br /><br />Happy Easter everybody! <br /><br />xxkelleyKelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222598997403329166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964224117445332873.post-74632992299201693432010-04-01T08:01:58.246-07:002010-04-01T08:01:58.246-07:00I learn so much from you!

I enjoyed your post today on Collections, the interior decorating and the feeling that you want to create something different with what you collect, is I think what drives most people (well it does for me anyway!!) and to try and create no only something different, but something close to perfection. Speaking of collecting, I came across an antique round breadboard last weekend and snapped it up.....my tally now is 2!!!hahaha, does this count as a collection?? Anyway, better go, take care and will call in again soon.<br />Janine<br />XXOO<br />Tasmania, AustraliaJanine Marshallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964224117445332873.post-2049074146080749282010-03-31T20:11:41.361-07:002010-03-31T20:11:41.361-07:00Hello Kelley - I'm new to your blog!
