Black Toast to be exact....
My long-time blogging sista, KATHY, of KATHY'S COTTAGE
did a post on
EMMA BRIDGEWATER POTTERY
OMYGOSH....
I've been in love with this line for years...BLACK TOAST...
white with black writing...
WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE..??
Emma's factory is in England
and the prices are fairly reasonable for the quality.
I kept trying to ignore Kathy's post...
but every time I tried to think what I wanted to give for
CHRISTMAS GIFTS,
I kept going back and looking at the picture above, probably from Emma's website.
SOOO:
when FEDX left this large box for me today,
I tore into that box so fast..
and everything was packed so well.
Bubble wrap around each piece and then the thick packing paper wrapped and placed between the items.
I was so excited to see it all, I was afraid I'd break something, just getting it out of the box.
I've mentioned that their prices are reasonable for the high quality...
and they are higher than a lot of other pottery....
but....
they do offer SECONDS...for a few dollars less.
DON'T LET THE CAT GET IN THE BUTTER
A POUND OF THE BEST BUTTER
this little pitcher is sooo cute.
COFFEE & NEWSPAPERS ON SUNDAY MORNING....
These were all so cute, I just had to doll them up for a photo shoot....
please bear with me...
I have such fun playing photographer with such cute subjects....
I bought these few pieces for Christmas gifts..
but...uh ooo....
I am feeling stingy and selfish and mean
'cause I want every one of them...
yep....my black side is showing....
nooo, I may keep a couple pieces but give the other two for gifts...
*HEAVY sigh

Oh they are nice. You may provide a great boon to the Emma Bridgewater Business. =D Which two would you be most wanting?
ReplyDeletethe butter dish!! "dont let the cat get in the butter"! omg.. I need that! my cat is always eating the butter. If it gets left out, I have to inspect it for cat tongue prints! I know.. gross right? great pottery!

BJ, I had never heard of this pottery, but I love it. I would probably keep those cute things and leave them in my will .LOL. I love the saying on the saucers. Perfect. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteMy five year plan is to move to the beach into a small cottage by the sea. It may not be a "cottage" but I plan to decorate it like one with lots of whites and creams. This would be a perfect set to add to my style.
ReplyDeleteLove it.

This is just fabulous. Just fabulous! I love the colors, the sayings, the whole look. You must be over the moon!
ReplyDeleteFun to get stuff we enjoy. Cool beans.
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable!!! Love your excitement and all the cute phrases on the pottery! Hope those who you are giving them to - don't see this post!
ReplyDeleteWill you use them or display them??? Thank you for sharing! :) Net
Oh yes I love that line and only have one piece. I always look for it at sales etc.
ReplyDeleteKeep it all and just keep adding to it . I would love to find a store that sells seconds. Sometimes in those stores I can't find the flaw to make it a second.
So cute! I would have trouble letting them go also!
ReplyDeleteI can see why you were excited! I have a weakness for cute dishes and these definitely fit that bill! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! We'll see how those Christmas gifts pan out. Dear and I and our son and daughter in law were at the Emma Bridgewater factory store in 2013. Lots of fun stuff. I came away with a mug from the seconds shop...hedgehogs.
ReplyDeleteIve never seen this line before! They are so 'you!'
ReplyDeleteVery nice post. Cute pieces I understand how you would like to keep them all. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeleteOMG these potteries are so cute!!
ReplyDeleteLove
Just your style bj ... I know it will hard for you to give any of them up.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you just have to buy more.
Hugs,
Audrey Z.
I even like those. BJ be selfish and keep them all. You still have two months till Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI love them! I think you should treat yourself and keep all of it. :) You have time to order more! I always buy myself Christmas gifts!

I love this kind of pottery! It will be difficult to decide what to give away and what to keep, I am certain!! Ceramics have become my downfall!
ReplyDeleteReally fun pieces of pottery . . .
ReplyDelete(Keep these, order more . . . smile!)
I am in love with it all! Don't leave your door unlocked, you may wake up to dfind me at your table sipping coffee and eating toast from those...on second thought, go ahead and leave that door unlocked ��
