I am
working on decorating my kitchen in, oh, I guess
the closest term would be Olde World
Mediterranean Style. The cabinets will be a distressed denim blue, with
wainscoting in whitewash, and the walls will be yellow and white, Venetian
Plaster/ Lime wash style I have been picking up pieces of pottery here and
there that has that flavor. I love pottery and collectable pieces, but I
want them useful. Pier One
has been coming out with some really nice pieces, too. I LOVE
!!!
One of
the recent sets they have had is a red set: serving plates, dessert plates,
canisters, etc. The one piece I really liked is a big ginger jar that holds
over a gallon of material. Out local Pier One
stores have been out of it for a while so I pretty much figured it was a
lost cause. At Pier One, often when it is gone, it is gone.
This
morning I came down *rather late mind you* to find that Michael had bought
it for me! It is sitting in the kitchen waiting to be filled with whatever
goodies I so choose to fill it with!
 It
is SOO pretty, and it is a nice pop of color being that it is a deep
burgundy red.
Michael
travels around the Baltimore/Northern Virginia
area quite a bit with what he does for the local bank he works for. He was
in the Laurel area near DC and stopped in the store there and found the
ginger jar for me!  I LOVE IT! Not because he
bought something for me, but because he thought of me. My hubby is a keeper.
Oh, he
liked the jar too. Lol That
is a bonus of course. Hehe
Blessings...
