Oh, I am so glad you posted more pictures from Agape. I've been scrolling through all of your posts from the past week and LOVE the hats at the top, but, this is where I had to stop and say "hello, dear Tara". Agape is just the most scrumpteous place.

the vintage enamel is adorable. there are still lots of them to find here in the valley decorating the kitchens of the ancient homes of farmers. to buy them is rather expensive these days.

Tara, I must confess I have a fetish for jelly moulds, not that I make a lot of jelly but I just love the moulds!!! Thanks for that beautiful post, I live my "Paris Life" through you, Vida x x x

Loving these photos Tara. The whiteware/china is beautiful...I love the simple elegance of white, and very much like the window casing. I have a special fondness for window casings, moldings, salvage from old houses. Character, history...makes me wonder who lived in the house, what they were like. A connection to the past. I used to have all kinds of antique kitchen ware on my wall..until we went with open plan. Now they are all packed away. Thanks for making me feel nostalgic!

I love that sweet shelf trim - that's adorable. Love the canisters, coffeepots and all the enamelware...actually, I think I love it all, lol. Good thing I'm not close enough to be tempted by it all - I can just enjoy looking at your lovely photos.~xo
