Today is Show and Tell over at Kelli's
. Take a peek.
My show and tell is the bowl and pitcher that came from my dad's mother. It was a gift to her from a friend and is well over 100 years old. When I was a child I went through a fascination period with bowl and pitcher sets. I still find them quite elegant and interesting.
The picture on the wall above the bowl and pitcher set is a gift to my husband from his brother. The table was bought at a used furniture shop. The floor cloth is one that I painted years ago and has held up nicely.

You've show us 4 lovely items here. I love these pitchers and basins. I have never owned one but I have admired them for years. I'm so glad you pointed out the floor painting. I had to enlarge the picture. I thought it was a rug. How neat!!

I just love the way you have that pitcher and bowl displayed...just beautiful!! What a great idea to paint a floor cloth on the floor!! xo
Thanks for showing us this beautiful area of your home. I love the pitcher and bowl. My Mom's family had many of those. I used to be fascinated by them.
What a sweet vignette. I used to have a thing for bowl and pitcher sets, too, but I only had one. It's so neat that yours was passed down through the family. It's lovely. That's a really nice picture above it, too, and the floor cloth looks great.
Those are all great treasures. I also like the color on your walls! bessings...
Very pretty!
What a beautiful vignette! My grandma also had a pitcher and bowl, but one of my cousins now has it. Yours is lovely..

I love bowl and pitcher sets as well! Someday I hope to have a washstand with a set tucked away in my bedroom! Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you ~
I just love the way you painted the floor. That looks really good. Your pitcher is beautiful too. I had one my grandmother gave me but was broken long ago. Must have been due to all the boys in the house :)
Wonderful treasures! I found a vintage pitcher last year and have it displayed in my foyer--it reminds me of my grandparents when I look at it.
Your photo of yours is lovely!
My grandmother had a pitcher and bowl, but I didn't get it :-(
I have a "new" copy of one. Yours is just beautiful, all of the items are!
