We finally got a shelf for above the kitchen
sink a few weeks back...
The bare wood in front will be stained at a later
time...for now I am just glad to get this up
and to have my beloved
icon of the Theotokos, Virgin of Vladimir,
up in my kitchen...
such a sweet and most-loved icon!
This is what my kitchen looks too many times
during the week...
it's a constant effort to keep things from being cluttered!
So much of our lives is full of the routines
of clutter / cleaning / trying-to-keep-clutter-from-happening
and clutter again...

At least God and the Mother of God are with us
no matter what our kitchens look like...

My kitchen table is the same. One end is for eating/school the other is my sewing area, so it's very easy for 'things' to take over.
I ♥ the blue and white pitcher and sugar....and also bright red tea kettle! Our refrigerator is also covered in magnets and a calendar and pictures. I would like to clean it off, but when we did to wipe it down with the Mr. Clean magic erasers & I commented on how nice it looks empty, they disagreed with me and put everything back on!!!
I'm pretty sure we have the same bowls! How fun/funny!
Maureen,
you mean the blue and white one on the shelf? It's a lovely one; the only one we have of that kind...
I really love seeing it there on my shelf about the sink!! :) I love beauty in dishes!!
I love the idea of the shelf! :D
...but the operative word is always "clutter", isn't it? :D
Yes, God does not judge us for that. :)
Elizabeth,
I think I recognize that pattern, it's Blue Onion by Wedgwood. I've seen it at replacements.com I too love beauty in dishes, I've got more China patterns than a single person has any right to, but...they're soooo pretty!! (I really have trouble with that whole not coveting thing)
Yes, the one above the sink. I have four soup bowls and a similar pattern for plates. They're so lovely.

Maureen, neat!!!
Nancy, it says Wedgwood blue heritage pattern... :) I know about replacements.com too... just today a friend was asking me how many sugars and creamers I have :) I LOVE dishes!!!
I'll have to troll replacements.com for Blue Heritage, but my mom has ordered me not purchase any more china, crystal or vintage glassware (but I scored some great Anchor Hocking glassware a few weeks ago) Is there a self - help group for people like me? (Hi, I'm Nancy and I'm a dishaholic)
Nancy, LoL... :) I love dishes too! You know you should have a blog so you can show pictures of your dishes... :)))
Maybe I should start a blog, I could call it "Hoarding - Buried Alive in china and glassware (with apologies to TLC)" I do have some pretty dishes : ) Do other readers want to share in the effects of this addiction? I'll be the dealer
Nancy, You SHOULD start a blog and I want to be one of the first to see it!!! all those dishes, oh la la and I want to see them!!!
