I just love Emma Bridgewater Pottery. I dont know if it started when i visited England or simply by seeing her things displayed in kitchen photo shoots BUT i love it all..especially this pattern and..oh how i love the polka dots.

and if you have little boys…oh my! this is precious..i’ve always wanted to get this for Drew because of his love for tractors and let’s face it..john deere plastic in my sink is just NOT beautiful living for mommy! I love the way it says “lorries”!;; BUT, Baby Henry just received the Royal Doulton Bunnykins set on Saturday and boy it is precious too.. even little boys need special things, right?! of course!

BUT as much as i love Emma Bridgewater (i have two 8.5″ plates that say bubble and squeak! love that..thanks honey) and a big cake plate..i also have some knockoffs from Marshalls and Cost Plus..i mix it all together and while i love the shape, quality and weight of the the Emma B pottery, it is not WHITE, my other stuff is WHITE..do any of you have her pottery and notice this??? of course it all still mixes great together and with plain white dishes too which is my favorite thing to do.. Also it is not cheap or easy to buy stateside..so if anyone has a good source, please share with us…i just love “dishes”..old and new, fine and utilitarian!
