After hearing about The Brown House, I finally looked it up and stopped by for a visit and am I glad I did! It’s a charming and yes, brown house in Homewood, that cute little area of town that I told you about last summer.
It’s a shop in a charming cottage and they have lots of English ironstone, antiques, pottery, and more. You would all love it, I’m quite sure!
Here’s the side porch. Doesn’t it look welcoming?
What a cute place! And wait til we go inside.
Real antique English ironstone. I think these sorts of pieces are way out of my budget, but it sure is fun to look. I’ll keep collecting my yardsale pieces and they will have the same effect sitting on my shelves. English ironstone sure is pretty though!
On display are lots of pretty shells and coral, which really caught my eye.
Blue and white, more antique transferware.
I loved this little window and how the sun was coming in at just the right angle to show off these blue and white dishes.
More huge shells in a metal basket.
They feature pottery made in Mound Bayou, Mississippi, called Peter’s Pottery. I had never heard of it, but it’s very pretty and I loved the shapes and glazes on them. The prices were actually not bad on these pieces. Handmade pottery has always drawn me in. I think I’ll have to save my pennies and get one of those bunnies.
Look at all the animals and shapes on these cute covered dishes. 
More vignettes around the store, at every turn.
They specialize in English brown and white transferware too. Oh, if only I had this much display space. I love the brown and white!
This was such a gorgeous scene right in the window.
More shells on a rustic wall shelf.
Red and white transferware.
Antiques and collectibles.
Brown and white transferware closer.
More English ironstone.Hope you enjoyed this tour of The Brown House. I will definitely go back and look again. It’s a feast for the eyes!
We had such a fun time with the makeup & hair post, so I will do another topic on beauty again! Thanks for all the participation on that one.
Don't Miss a Post, join my list!
Hi Rhoda,
Thanks for taking us on the “field trip” to the Brown House. What fun! What a cute shop. We used to have an area similar to that in our town, but the center of town has really moved and a lot of the little shops have closed. I miss it. Was great to catch up on your blog.
Oh my!!! They have some really wonderful looking goodies in there:-).
Thanks for sharing..
We’ll be in Bama this coming weekend. I wish I had time to go to this place.
Love this store! Gosh! How lovely! Thanks for the lovely photos. Need a hug come over and take a peek at my blog…I think it will make you smile!
Hugs,:)

I’ve always loved white ironstone, but lately I’ve fallen in love with brown transferware, also. These photos are great. The shop reminds me of Old House in Hog Hollow, in Chesterfield Missouri. It’s larger, but the ambiance and merchandise is similar.

Great shop Rhoda, thanks for the tour.

What a wonderful place! I just love that brown transferware and the two urns on the porch are calling to me. Thanks for the tour 🙂

Oh I love brown & white transferware, too. What a great shop! Thanks for letting us “window shop” on line!
What a lovely little shop. Love the blue and white and the bunnies.
I enjoyed my virtual visit of The Brown House. How beautiful you have made it. On your website you mentioned if you collected pottery it would likely be Vicki Carroll – I picked up a couple of pieces by her at a yardsale and know nothing about this artist other than she hails from MS. Do you know of a website that will give me more information and possibly a dirrectory of her patterns? I’d very much appreciate the info. Monach01
