This morning as I pulled out my collection of enamelware I looked around the house for a place to photograph it.
Today is the first day of my friends, Dru (The Country Farm Home) and Cindy’s (Old Time Farmhouse) new Country Whites Weekend link party,
Everywhere I looked I saw Christmas.
Well, I decided I would do an outdoor shoot.
I love the little bit of rust and chippiness.
Each piece is so fun, but I thought it needed something.
A pop of color. My red speckled enamel pitcher did the trick! Am I a rebel or what? Now just look at how that red trim and handle on the pans pop.
I originally collected these for the playhouse at my previous home. Hoping to display them in my ‘farmstyle’ kitchen when we finish the basement.
Oh and guess what? The other day my friend and I were at a Nursery that also sells décor. We asked a question about whether or not a crate was for sale. She said “no, that they just use them for display”. Then she went on to say that the ‘farmstyle’ is all the latest rage. Who knew?
Hugs,
Jann

Merry Christmas to you!... and let's DO meet up after Christmas!...xoxo Julie Marie
Love the pictures in the snow!! Thanks for sending the snow this way - it was wonderful on Wednesday. More to come on Christmas. I have so much junk from my families' farm days, that farmstyle is nothing new around here. I've had a giggle about this new rage! I always enjoy your posts. Sally
Love the enamelware! I have some green, but oh the red and white would look great. I wonder what my farm Great Grandmothers would think about the farm kitchen being "in"?
Merry Christmas!
Beautiful pictures in the snow and I just love the pop of red :)
Merry Christmas, my friend!

Love that red pitcher and it really does make the red on the enamel ware pop! A fun way to display them in the snow.
Wishing you and your family a Very Merry Christmas, Jann!
I love the old enamelware, too. The red adds just the right punch of color! Merry Christmas, Jean
Oh my, how did I miss all of these posts??? LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the bug!!!!! Tree and sled on top....awww!
Love that your granddaughter wore the skates! Love the enamelware. Love the post where you and your girls did the baked goodies!!!
Such good stuff going on!!
Merry Christmas!
Love,
Kris
I don't think farm style is the rage in northern Minnesota. Maybe country and rustic but not all white farm house, or prairie white. I like it but couldn't part with all my colorful collections.
Oh, Jann--You make me smile--no, you made me laugh out loud! As one rebel to another, I absolutely love your pop of red! We so think alike! I was liking the pots in the snow but you added the right touches to it. So clever! Thanks so much for joining Cindy and me in the adventure! It's already been loads of fun.
Farmhouse Christmas Hugs,

What a beautiful spot to photo your treasures! I love them all and the touch of RED is very Christmasy! Have fun!
Love the white enamel-ware. That pop of red is the show stopper. Love it. Framhouse style, I husband always called it "country clutter". I love the style. Some of us have always had "that" style. Hugs to you Jann, from over the mountains. Karie
Love the eamelware and your photo of it is perfect!
What a sweet collection of enamel pots! I have several in different colours too. I hope to link up with the party. Have a great weekend! Blessings, Pamela
Hi Jann,
Just love your enamelware and it takes me right back to my childhood and my grandmother always cooking with it. Love the pop of red too. You have a wonderful collection.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and many blessings in the new year.
Hugs, Celestina Marie
I love all your enamelware pieces. I still have the big enamelware tub I was bathed in as a child. I used to use it with my grandkids, too.
You mean "farmstyle" was NOT in style for a while? Who knew? Have a great night- xo Diaa
Really lovely. And what I want to know is how you got all those pieces out there in the snow without leaving any footprints in the snow around them.
Jann,
Love your whites with a touch of red!!
Pretty against the snow.
I am so excited about winning the tree!! I will email you my address!!
Thanks so much and MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your family!!

Well, that was clever photographing in the snow! Thanks for the tip on farmhouse style. It's nice to know I don't have to rip mine all out! lol
Fun, fun! Great idea to take photos outside in the snow..if I were to do that here, I'd have to shoot the pics on the green lawn with palm trees swaying in the background- haha! Love the snow setting, though! So Christmasy :)

Okay...when I saw your whites in the snow, it made me smile. Creative! Then I saw the red pitcher and read the word 'rebel' and I laughed! It's okay to have color, my friend! Thank you for joining in on our Country Whites Weekend!
Farmhouse Holiday Hugs,
Cindy
Jan, I LOVE your enamel pots in the snow. Brilliant idea! I'm now on the lookout for red rimmed enamelware.
Merry Christmas,
Mary Alice
Hi Jann!
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment on my last post.
I have enjoyed reading the responses as we have all been affected by the terrible events in Newtown.
Loved the fun pics of the old bug and vintage sled. What fun.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.

I too collect white enamelware, Jann. Isn't it beautiful. I love all the rusty chipped spots. I usually bring it out at Christmas and display it with strings of wooden berries draped around it. Your pieces are wonderful! Merry Christmas! Following your blog!
Your enamelware is fab! Love the white and red. What fun snow pictures too. Great treasures you've got there :) Happy Christmas to you.
That is a lovely collection and the snow is a great styling spot. Merry Christmas!
Hi Jann,
Lovely collection of red & white enamelware. My daughter and I have a couple of pieces that will be in a post soon with some Christmas flowers in them. Yours are lovely in the snow. We finally have some back again, a bit of a White Christmas!
All the Best,
Christine
Love your collection of enamelware...and I love that you took pictures of them in the snow.
I'm your newest follower.

Hey Jann!
You're being featured tomorrow morning over at Country Whites Weekend. Come on over and grab the button!
Farmhouse hugs,
Cindy
Loved seeing the creative way you displayed your white and red and rebel red enamel ware pots and pans. I have a few pieces of the white and red enamel ware. A ladel that is a little different from yours, a coffee pot with the glass removable knob on top, a round dishpan, and my personal favorite a nicely chipped 9 x 13, actually a little larger pan. I still use it. It is my Easter morning casserole pan and my Christmas lasagna pan. I don't remember how long I've had it.
Have a very Happy New Year!
