Old Cabinets and Rose China

I go weak in the knees over rose over old cabinets filled with pretty dishes!

If the item is cheap and has pretty pink roses...I buy it!
Giggle!
I also LOVE old chippy hoosier cabinets! 
My favorite one is in my kitchen! It's an old blue green color, some
might think it is in terrible shape, but I love the shabby chippy!



I'm wondering if I did not have flea market booths...would I be a hoarder?
I also love to find and collect cottage decorating magazines!
Below is my tiny romantic back porch!
 Hope you all have a fun and safe fourth of July!
I will be sharing this with 
 
Big squishy hugs,

    These are the things that bring light and joy to our lives - when we enhance our homes with that which we love we spread happiness from ourselves to others.

    Dear Sweet Olivia:
    We must have been seperated at birth! LOL LOVE the same things. The color green of that cabinet is soooo perfect. I don't have a flea market booth, so does that make me a hoarder . Love your pics today. Have a great holiday weekend!

    Happy Pink Saturday Olivia Sweetie...
    What a gorgeous share this morning. I love, Love, LOVE that hoosier cabinet. I keep watching for one that can come home with me. Yours is simply delightful, and if it could talk, can you imagine the stories it would share with you?

    Love your backyard sweet one. I believe we could sit there and share tea, along with laughter, love and many stories. What a delightful afternoon it would be.

    I love strolling about Olivia's Romantic Home each and every week. Thank you sweetie for the lovely share today. Many hugs from Phoenix, with a lot of love, Sherry

    Sometimes I feel like a hoarder, but I can't stop. If something is beautiful and I can place it, it's coming home with me.
    Your post is romantic and beautiful, Char

    I do not see anything wrong with you liking old cabinets and pretty dishes. I have always had a thing about dishes. I do not need any, but love looking at them.

    Olivia, I could just move right in with you. Of course we may have a problem finding room for all our dishes. But we'd have a great time. Have a safe happy holiday.

    Hi Olivia! I'm the same way with pink rose dishes...even if they are chipped or cracked! If they are less than a dollar or two, I can't leave them behind! Maybe someday I'll mosaic, but for now I just find ways to display them so that the cracks don't show! I can't stand the thought of them being thrown away! I suppose we could become hoarders if it weren't for our booth spaces...or we would just run out of excuses to shop...and that would be so sad! Thank goodness we have found a good outlet for our passions! :) Hope you had a great 4th!
    Best Wishes and Blessings,
    Amanda
