Clutter by happypat

Clutter

It's almost time to clear all the clutter off my dresser.
I need to move everything off, wash all the China, put it all back & then chuck out as much as I can.
Inevitably most stuff goes back on again!

Thank you all for putting little Finn on PP yesterday, it's a while since I've been on there!


Three good things:
1. Sky news.
2. Wimbledon.
3. Hamlets steak pies.
Instantly recognizable. Very cheery!

Only the colours in my dresser are different...

These open shelves are a beggar for dusting! However I do think they are like an art work in the kitchen!

What a wonderful collection of blue, I can't see anything I would want to part with!

Are any of that blue striped pottery T D Green makers mark. Don't chuck any of that out as it's worth some pennies. My antique interest buds are wanting to have a look.

Looks like a good few Cornish pieces in there.

Kitty has a similar dresser filled up with Fosters pottery. :)

A lovely collection of Blue.

Looks a great collection!

@swillinbillyflynn Just checked out Fosters Pottery, lovely smooth speckled effects!

@ladymagpie Yes all the blue & white stripes are TG Green Heather. I collect them & some of those on the bottom shelf are quite old with the originial mark. There is another lower shelf which I couldn't fit in the picture. When I said chuck stuff away I really meant the cards, invitations etc.

@judithdeacon No nothing I want to part with either Judith that's the trouble! All the China will go back on but will tidy up the additional odds & ends.

@gijsje Oh show us Bep please!

@quietpurplehaze Thanks Hazel.

This must be such a lovely feature in your kitchen. I have lots of old Cornishware too - but nothing as elegant as this to display them on. Fav!

I love it just as it is! One of my sisters would love this as she too loves blue crockery. She has some lovely blue and white ginger jars.

Good to hear very little gets thrown in the trash...

@jmj It's a massive dresser Jennifer & another shelf along the bottom. When we bought the house it wasn't there but we had only just moved in when the next door neighbour asked us if we wanted to buy it as it originally came out of my kitchen & she had bought it from the original owners of our house. I was delighted & I think it was glad to come home.

@happypat That's a lovely story! It definitely belongs with you.

Pat ,it is a lovely dresser and I love all your blue and white china . My Mum had a large dark oak Welsh Dresser full of old blue and white china , but I did not have room for it in my house I still have regrets in not keeping one or two pieces !!

I like the scene! wonderful patterns.
June 27th, 2016  
Wonderful! Could be in Homes and Gardens!
June 27th, 2016  
I don't see that as clutter ... everything has a story behind it..
June 27th, 2016  
I LOVE your collection! fav
June 27th, 2016  
I do love all the blue and white.
June 27th, 2016  
Lots of washing there!
June 27th, 2016  
I just this - it just says so much. Keep looking and seeing something new every time. Fav
June 27th, 2016  
"most stuff goes back" ...i like your style Pat :)
June 27th, 2016  
Put half in a box. When you want a change, get the box out & swap the contents with those on the shelf!!
June 28th, 2016  
I love the way it looks!
June 28th, 2016  
What a great collection of goodies. You can't get rid of any of them. Just give them a dust and put them all back.
June 28th, 2016  
@onewing Ha ha Babs, you are right of course!
June 28th, 2016  
Can't see anything that needs throwing out Pat. It looks like a dresser should!
June 28th, 2016  
That looks like quite the undertaking
June 28th, 2016

June 28th, 2016  
Your dresser shouts HAPPY PLACE.

Sorry for this mass reply & hope I haven't missed a name off, so hard to scroll down & get every bodies name!

You are so kind about my cluttered dresser but I'm glad you like it. I love it & it's a big part of my kitchen. I f we ever move I hope I will have a big enough place to still fit it into our lives. I know that I will put everything back & the children's drawings will go in a place where I keep them all, they will make way for the new ones to come! X

I love it, proper homely! It's so hard getting rid of stuff.
June 28th, 2016  
Such a lovely lovely display but I know how much dust can collect around things after the last few weeks trying to get our house child friendly again!!
June 29th, 2016  
I know the feeling!! HHAHAHA...Lovely as it is.

Your dresser is packed with treasures, I am sure there will be nothing you can part with Pat a fav
