Cheerful red enamelware in the shop!  Enamelware is great for summer cooking and serving.  Because it's light weight, it's easy to bring it outdoors or on a picnic or camping trip.  The cookware heats up quickly on the stove, so you don't have to keep the burner on too long in the summer heat.  And it just looks great. Win/win!

 Also, this little nautical flag bowl.  I'm guessing it was part of the dishware at a yacht club at some point and served up its share of lobster bisque and clam chowder?  At any rate, it's cute and summery.  

Mutterhood magazine has just released their Industry issue online and they have included an interview of me talking about handmade, vintage, Etsy, and how my small business runs.  I'm honored to be a part of this publication...and each article in the issue is a little gem unto itself!  You can view other issues of Mutterhood here as well.  They are equally thoughtful, humorous and interesting.  Thanks for having a look!

Vintage enamelware pitchers and grain sack cushions coming into the shop this afternoon.

Lilacs and columbine are from my garden.  The best of May flowers!

Have a great weekend...so spring like here today...hope it continues.

Wednesday afternoon vintage shop update of some ironstone, enamelware and a lovely old basket.  I love how these pieces complement one another on the table.
I'm also working on another batch of blue stripe grain sack pillows.  I hope to have them in the shop at the end of the week!  

Putting together product shots...a mix of props from my own house and garden + new stuff for the shop.
Got some more work to do today on the styling and photography end of it and then lots of editing.
Really happy to be sourcing the flowers from my own garden, finally!

I added these cheery items to my shop yesterday.  The mugs are vintage German Zeller Keramik.  I've always loved this pattern, so was thrilled to find these.  The blue, orange and pink pitcher would be nice for serving juice or milk at the breakfast table or sangria for an evening picnic.  And of course would be lovely with flowers in it.  The blue pitcher is vintage Oxfordware.  Let me know if you see anything you like, I will send them off to you ASAP!

Good morning!  At long last, I've updated my jillbent.com website.  It's needed freshening up for a while and to make these changes feels like a good bit of spring cleaning.  Please have a look if you have a moment!
I have lots of new vintage things coming into the shop in the next few weeks...including a shop update a little later today.  Thanks as always for your support!
