Pure Lard


For over 2 years I have wanted to collect the large Cheese slab and the Butter slabs that are featured for sale under Joan Hudson on the internet. I always resisted because of trying to down size .
Then I read as I always do read Nancy's Daily Dish blog where she sells the most beautiful transferware anywhere. I just love seeing her house how she uses all her dishes for decorations.
 Her post on these beautiful dairy slabs is wonderful.  Her Fromages slab is over the top gorgeous and not found very often, I seen where one sold on an antique auction for $2000 !!!!.however mine was not even close to that, also that was an antique one not a reproduction like mine.

                                                                           

I have lots choices of things to pile on top of my Pure Lard slab for eye candy just can't decide which one I will start out using. I have been wanting to add a few black and white kitchen items in my blue and white kitchen.
I used a few things in the kitchen to stack on top of my Pure Lard slab to see which one looks ,well like what I would use. Love my big ole  staffordshire Cow
used my batter bowl today making brownies
I sold over 60 pieces of jadite to a antique dealer but just had to keep my nesting bowls

wish the Salt and Pepper had black writing , I use to use them with all my jadite dishes 


Which arrangement do you like best of these ? 


When I had my kitchen updated a few years ago I just had to have the fluer de lis blue and white tile around my counter area in my kitchen I still love it .
I stayed home all day yesterday since we got about 8 inches of snow they even closed the University of  Missouri yesterday. I was told because the street crews had not been out clearing the roads all night like they usually do. A neighbor lady  who works at the University Hospital said she went in very early and her little car plowed through the deep snow since it was a powdery type snow.
I stayed home made orange brownies shoveled out my drive took a nap and played with fun stuff in the studio. It was a good day.

Wish I had a staffordshire pig to set on my Pure Lard slab




Linky parties I will join in this week

  1. I love all of your pretty dishes and knick-knacks! Sorry I can't be of help in deciding which is better. I do think the cow is hilarious standing on the pure lard because the cow is so fat, lol. I love your new transfer ware collection, so pretty. I think maybe the last photo might be the best way because it's easier to see each item and the black writings look so well together....oh I can't decide, lol. Everything is beautiful!

  4. Hi Janice! I have never heard of or seen those slabs, wow, you learn something new everyday right? Aww, you should have invited me over yesterday to play! I liked seeing your choices of what to put on the slab, I liked them all but I think you need some height in there, how about using the tall blue lidded jar and take the lid off and add wooden utensils (like on Nancy's blog) and then use the salt and pepper and the 1/4 ltr cup.
    Talk to you soon,
    Gina

  5. I forgot to say that I really like the cow off to the side of the slab like you have it in the photos. Do you happen to have a pig of some sort to add to it, that would be cute!

  10. They all make beautiful vignettes, but I have to go with the Staffordshire cow seeing you don't have a little pig to sit atop your lard slab!

  14. Hi there, thanks for stopping by my blog! I love all your antique things -- I am a collector of Jadeite - why did you sell yours? If you do a search on my blog for my Jadeite, you can see all my pieces. I just got a great Salt and found a matching Pepper on Etsy. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

  15. Your new slab is wonderful! The antique ones are very pricey and hard to find. I have the reproduction Pure butter slab and love it. All of the vignettes are pretty and I especially love the one with the adorable cow. Thanks for linking to the very first Share Your Style Party!
    xx,

  17. I have always liked the look of those slabs too! I like the last two arrangements best. A little pig on top of yours would be perfect! I really think you should gather your white things together like you commented at my blog. You might just love it! For awhile anyway. I like to change things up.
