Collections & House Photos

The photo above is my collection of gourds, not very old, not very expensive, but well loved. Carol Sims gave me the two large ones for Christmas last year. I love them!


This is my collection of transferware. The photo below is a close up. On top of the cuboard is my collection of blown glass jars. I've had those for more than 20 years.

The transferware collection is fairly new for me. About five years ago, my friend Anne Brown started collecting transferware when we went antiquing together. I thought she was nuts! It didn't take long before I was convinced that it was pretty cool stuff! This collection is actually a combo of Anne's transferware and mine. When Anne decided she didn't want to decorate with antiques any more, I bought her collection from her. And the cupboard it's in!

The tiny compote on my dining room table contains part of my collection of stone fruit. I've been collecting that for about 10 years. There's another bowl of it in my kitchen and one in my "old office" as well. We've yet to come up with a name for the room that used to be my office.

Thank you for the wonderful pictures, Kathy. You have wonderful collections!
What a wonderful tour of your home. It's FABULOUS!
Thank you for sharing photos of your collections and your home. Everything is so beautiful and very interesting! Don't you just love a good find?
I would have to say vintage linens are my downfall. We went to an estate sale today, and I found a quilt top, kind of crazy quilt style but with art deco shapes, and a few smaller pieces. Made my whole day!
I've been waiting for a new batch of pictures because I love your house and all of the collections in it.
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing your home with us....it's wonderful!
I've just loved this little tour! Thank you so much for sharing!
I would love to fold this big old country right in half just so I could take a closer peek at your East Coast antiques. It is rare to find those truly old pieces out here on the Frontier. :)
Great photos, thanks for sharing. I love the pocket in the last but one photo - ever thought of charting it? There are not very many pockets available to us stitchers.
Thanks for giving us a peek inside your wonderful home Kathy - it was very exciting to see your collections - AWESOME - thanks Melody
