Wow, wasn't that a brilliant idea? :) Sometimes I surprise myself with ideas like that.
Although I love winter white vignettes, I'm glad I left the red transferware on the hutch. It really warms up the kitchen on these cold days.
Here are a few close up shots...
Isn't this little white bulldog, with her basket of puppies, the cutest?
I found her at a local antique mall. She isn't antique, but has that Staffordshire look that I love.
The puppies have the sweetest little faces.
I don't have any large pieces of red transferware...yet. So, I stacked some smaller pieces in a basket, and filled in with old books and a little cheese board.
I used an old wine box to hold a few things. The Christmas cactus is trying to bloom again, and has tiny buds on some of the leaves. I hope it'll get a few more blooms...but it probably won't happen.
I did go to Hobby Lobby today to see what was new, and found these heart shaped candies. They have flavors like cherry cheesecake, cherry cola, chocolate cherry, cherry daiquiri, and several others. Yum!
Would you like to try some?
Well, the weather may be bad, but we can always party.
Oh! I almost forgot to show you a peek at a project I'm working on...no, I'm NOT taking art classes. :)
Ok, now, let's see what's happening at these great parties...

Great job on the hutch! Love the bulldog/with pups! Too cute! The box and basket with dishes and wine look awesome! Great ideas!
Love the way you decorated the hutch!
I think it looks just beautiful! I am always coveting the red transferware when I'm out and about. So far, I have yet to find some that agrees with my purse at the time.
I love (really love!) the way this hutch looks.
And hmmm... wondering about the project.
Your hutch is beautifully done. Love all things transferware. Looking forward to seeing your new project! Have a great day!
Your red transferware is gorgeous, and I love the bulldog figurine! You've decorated your hutch beautifully!
Sometimes it just takes a little to make a whole room look new and different. You are ready for your Valentine. Richard from MY Old Historic House.
I love the addition of the extras in the basket. That is really cute. Love your hutch and would have fun playing with it. Hugs, Deb=^..^=x4
Oh I love this display. So beautiful. Love the books and the baskets in the mix. Gorgeous. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
I just changed to healthier eating habits so please hide the candies from me... for a few months anyway... LOL
Babs, I love your red transfer ware! Your hutch does look warm and cozy in this cold winter weather. Ohio has seen having some really weird weather- how about you? Oh, your sweet doggie is adorable. <3
That red transferware makes such a pretty statement in your hutch. I love how you mixed it with other things too. The little dog statue is precious.
Babs,
Lovely china cabinet with the continuation of the red transferware! I adore how you've used the same hues in your books as the china pieces! Yummy...Valentine candy choices! "Mr. Ed" and I saw strawberry and vanilla heart~shaped marshmallows last week! Thanks for sharing with us your loveliness!
Fondly,
Pat
Your hutch is so pretty, and the dog is the cutest! I love the red, and it's perfect for Valentine's Day. Thanks to your post, I'm now feeling inspired to decorate for the next holiday. Fun!
I so adore pink and white too. I just did a post where I added more pink and white to my DR sideboard. Check it out if you get time. :) Blessings, Barb
The transferware is beautiful -- I especially like the way you have some of it in the basket!
Hi, Babs. Love your hutch! I think you commented on my crystal and silver china cabinet, but now I'm moving toward Valentine's Day and reds too :). I love the red transferware (it's on my "want list"), but I also love your vignettes, especially your idea of putting some of the pieces in a basket and in the box. Love that mama bulldog and her babies too! Thanks for sharing. ~Zuni

Babs, I just LOVE every inch of your beautiful hutch right now! I am SO glad I haven't finished setting my bakers rack up for Valentines Day because you've given me several new ideas to try to incorporate into mine.
