You might recognise my pale blue painted shelves from a previous post on the playroom in our last house, well let's just say that "display" is not a word in my boys' vocabulary and this shelf always ended up lying empty despite my efforts to make it "all nice" so now it has a new home in the kitchen :-)
On the top shelf (left to right) a cute vintage blue flowered canister, Villeroy and Boch "Acapulco" ramekin, retro aqua and white egg cups, red and white dandelion bowls from "Meadows and Byrne" in Ireland, a Nigella Lawson ceramic blue juicer and tiny duck-egg blue tagine, I bought a set of 4 of these in TK Maxx in Ireland, they are so cute for storing spices, salt and pepper :-)
On the next shelf are a pair of birdie bowls, blue and white on top is by Marie Claire from Myer and the bottom bowl is from Target, a set of 4 dessert bowls from Kmart, 2 more of those tiny tagines and a gorgeous pair of turquoise Le Creuset hearts from TK Maxx in Ireland.
On the bottom shelf a set of Jamie Oliver blue fluted bowls, ANOTHER tagine, a tiny orange Le Creuset cast iron casserole, a pair of bowls from Anthropologie and a Fortnum and Mason tea caddy.
Up on the white built in shelves are various vintage "things" (left to right), vintage green Royal Staffordshire plate, Finel teapot, Krups white scales, made in Ireland, specials chalkboard and red Persinware scales, made in Australia.
On the lower shelf (left to right) gorgeous Gien French vintage plate, aqua berry crate from Anthropologie, Nigella Lawson cookie jar, red vintage plate, Nigella Lawson cups and saucers, white rooster platter and pair of Fowler Ware bowls, Made in Australia.
I love the sight of all these little bits and pieces brought together, they get used a lot and I love the mix of old and new. I did a LOT of shopping in Ireland actually, so I foresee a post on that in the near future as well as a heap of photos from our trip, there are just so many it will be a mammoth task going through them all!

Beautiful pieces
I absolutely love your dishes! So pretty! I followed you from the joyful thrifters blog. Nice to meet you. Please visit me whenever you have the time.
Yay! You are back! Love this glimpse into your kitchen, all so pretty. x
Thanks girls! It's nice to be blogging again and catching up on all my fave blogs too :-)
What gorgeous bowls, Alice, I love the way you've styled everything. Congrats on the move! Nice to see you back in the blogosphere! Xo
Looks gorgeous together on the shelf. I have those Kmart bowls too, great size for kids. My Mum has those white scales and they bring back lots of memories of baking when I was little. Your Villeroy and Boch is so cute.
That corner of your kitchen looks so fancy! Those tools and utensils are very colorful that it reminds me of a toy kitchen. Haha! Well, I checked out your other posts and I found out that you really have a thing for decorative plates, dishes, and bowls. I assume that corner will soon be filled with your wonderful collection. They add glamour to your kitchen, so go for it!
