I had some time to look through my current issue of Country Living magazine recently and came across some toile that caught my eye.
Love the scene on this pitcher!

This tea set. I could just picture a plate of muffins alongside this.

Or a toile hamper? Okay, it’s fabric, but I’ve never seen toile fabric used in a hamper.

I’ve seen toile or transferware on dishes and think it looks so pretty. I know that locally {in my area} you can find those retail at Home Goods, Marshalls and TJ Maxx, but you could probably also find some at Good Will or thrift stores. I think I’ll be keeping an eye out for the toile drinking glasses!

I picked up a yard of toile fabric recently, not because I had a project in mind but because it was too pretty to leave behind :-) Maybe a hamper?

Hi Kathy,
My bedroom is done in pink toile, so I love it.
All the things that you have shown in toile is so pretty. Might have to go to Home Goods and see what's new.

Ok I've decided you absolutely have to come spend a weekend with me! We would have so much fun shopping together!
Hi Kathy. Thanks for all the lovely comments you left on my new blog. You're right about each piece of furniture needing varying degrees of work. I'm planning on posting about my many furniture transformations in greater detail over the coming weeks and months so stay tuned. Kristine.
I saw all those too and thought they were gorgeous!
I love the patterns on these they're so fantastic! If I had that green tea set I would start having tea parties just so I could show it off ;)
Oh, I like everything, especially the pitcher!!
Haven't been to HG in awhile . . . need to go there soon!!

I just found my treasured toile teapot in my china cabinet with the spot broke off and no ones knows how it happened. hmmmm. I love toile - it simply beautiful.
I love toile, there's just something so classy and aristocratic about it.
Love the examples you've displayed! Funny, years ago, I never was a fan of toile. Now it seems recently, I'm really starting to like it. Just goes to show how our tastes change.
Thanks for sharing!
I've been trying to add some toile to my house (either plates or fabric) - I love it.
I love toile! I saw these too in the mag and was in heaven!
I love this post and all that toile. I'm getting ready to make my shower curtain to finish my bath and yes, its black and white Toile. oh my , I'm so predictable lol..
Love toile too, the tea set is great!!!
Gorgeous pieces! My favorite color is green, so I am in love with that tea set....so pretty! Thanks for sharing and for the sweet comments on my blog! Have a fantastic day! ~Liz
Pretty! I love that hamper...a way to make laundry more fun?

I was swooning over that article, too. That pitcher is my favorite. Couldn't you see it filled with daisies? Yummy!
Those glasses are so cute! thanks for stopping by JourneyChic today!

I love toile, Kathy! One of my past homes was decorated in a European Country Cottage style, and I used lots of toile fabrics and transferware.
I still love it to this day and use it where I can...even in my cottage farmhouse. :)

I love my collection of red transferware and try to pick up additional pieces when ever I see it being unloved!
The glasses were my favorite.
