I have an incurable passion for collecting Ironstone platters,
pitchers, cake stands, soup tureens...anything Ironstone.

I'll admit it. It's a weird obsession,
but as I mentioned in a previous post, once I saw the dining room in Something's Gotta Give, I was completely hooked!

Since the Gray family moves quite frequently,
I think my Ironstone collection acts like my security blanket.
Once I have it displayed, I immediately can
take a deep breath and feel like I'm home again.

I believe in the age old rule of "Strength in numbers".
One platter is nice, but 21 platters is SO much better!

When we were designing our new kitchen and dining space,
I specifically had my Ironstone collection in mind.
My two criteria were:
1. A wall for my crusty old plate shelf for my Ironstone platters.

2. Open shelves to display my
Ironstone pitchers, bowls and soup tureens.
I can't explain why collections of Ironstone make me so happy. Maybe it's their simple clean lines, milky white colors or symmetrical placement. Whatever it is, it makes me squeal with delight! |
