You may have noticed this china tray in my post about my kitchen redo. I didn't take a close photo of it for that post, as I wanted to share some of my bargains with you today. I knew that I was on a search for some additional white items when I ordered the dark granite countertop. I could picture the white against the dark even before it was installed. I found the white tray/platter at TJ Maxx for $10. It is marked Destinos, S.A., Made in Portugal. I originally thought it would fit above my cabinets, but it was too wide.
I also found the set of three white bowls (Certified International) and the milk pitcher (THL) at TJ Maxx. The bowls were only $3 (they weren't priced and I know the checkout manager made a mistake when he priced them so low). I thought the little pitcher was just the right size to keep near my coffee pot.
I love the look of having pretty things sitting on my countertop, but they are generally things I use often. I also like to add pops of color mixed in with the white. I keep a few favorite cookbooks within reach and I love changing the displayed book according to the season.

Morning Sue! Thanks for your 'visit' and kind words! Love ya - the milk pitcher is so pretty and I like your open cookbook showing the flowers. xo,
There is something about white against a black granite surface! Just caught up on your last few posts and want to let you know my thoughts are still with you.
Suz, this is all so pretty.
I am so into whites, I can barely stand myself.:)
Hope you are feeling good, now.
Great buys and what a super vignette. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
Like really like your coffee vignette. The aqua blue looks great with the white.
Enjoy your evening.
Sue, I like all of your whites. Especially love your new bowls and little pitcher. Everything goes together so well. I'm in a lighter and brighter mood myself, these days. If I had more room on my counter tops, I'd display a lot more things; but I only have short runs of cabinetry. It's a good thing I have my two pantries for storage.

Your little white vignette is darlin. So sweet!
The perfect tea time vignette! Love it, Sue!
XO,

Thank you so much for coming by my blog.
Hi Sue!
{Just peeked at your last post, you have a lovely kitchen!}
White things just seem to inspire relaxation and peace for me. Your tray is very pretty and seems to be very useful too {the best kind of pretty!}
Starbucks makes some nice quality stuff. My favorite travel mugs are from them.
Your white canister looks nice and heavy and the seal looks like it's in great shape!
I'm sending thoughts and prayers for your mother-in-law ~ may she find peace and comfort ♥

I love the white accessories! And the blue ones too. Great job on the prices. Hey, sometimes you're just meant to have something at a great price. :)
Have a great day.
