One collection in particular is English Staffordshire Ware.
One look at those pastoral village scenes, and I'm transported back to my grandmother's kitchen, where her cupboard displayed shelf upon shelf of these timeless treasures.
I can see the kitchen table covered in a freshly-starched embroidered tablecloth, the milk-jug sitting atop, awaiting the first of many pots of tea served throughout the day.
Treasured memories of gentler times........

Lovely memories of your grandmother's kitchen. I remember my own and have actually got my nanny's Staffordshire ware platter that is one of my dearest treasures because of the link to her. Hope you had a great Easter Jo.
Thank you for sharing your lovely memories and Staffordshire Ware. I enjoyed your memories, even though
I've never been to England. Last night I watched a program about what people in England ate during WWII.
It was educational,and funny. The program is called The Supersizers.

O, Jo dear ~
That starched, embroidered tablecloth just sang out my Grandmother's loving, working hands
and the cookies and milk completed
the picture in my memory bank...
"The latest" could never hold a
candle to such a setting....
Ooo, I love those too, are they the same as Willow ware?!
Just lovely.
Wonderful to have sweet memories.
You made my heart remember memories too. I can just imagine how much love you feel when you think back on those special times.
I am sitting here again- enjoying that special song that I love so much, and being thankful for you.
You always make me feel.

They really are beautiful and elegant. Thanks for sharing them with me. :-)
You have such a talent with your photography and the posts that go with them...the music is perfect...I love visiting you.
I found your blog today. It was hard to leave.
I'm a Brit living on the Northern prairies. I have a feeling spring will be late again this year. So nice to look at your photographs.
Beautiful !!! It sounds fantastic too, great memories !!
