This early Christmas surprise turned up in my mail last week. It is a gift from the super sweet Francesca over at
Mrs. Eliot Books. Thank you so much, my friend! I have admired this pattern for some time, and now I finally have a sample in my collection :-)) The pattern is called Checkmate and is by the Empire Porcelain Company. If you like this, do check out Francesca's fab coffee pot
here...
What is Christmas without some candle light? I almost passed on these candlesticks at my local flea market... Sometimes it's hard to see the gems among all the trash at these places. I'm very happy I brought them home, though. They are made from black stained wood, designer and make unknown. I love the little stick handles on them and the cone shaped tripod feet.
And then there is this vintage LP with Christmas songs that I picked up for its sleeve design. The illustration is by
Peter Haars, who I have blogged a little about earlier
(click here to see). It dates to 1968. This particular illustration reminds me a lot of
Sanna Annukka's style.
