These first 2 shots are from my Saturday spree with Nathan. I just love them all. But my favorite is the yellow and orange flowers. I can’t wait to put it on my Thanksgiving table.


I know, I know. If you don’t need it, then it’s not a deal. I went back to my favorite store looking for a couple vases and came home with these treasures. I really don’t like having a lot of decorations for the holidays…honestly, I dislike storing it all, but I could not pass these up!


An apron that looks perfect on Ellie.

These are runners. I assume they are meant for a buffet or table. Their shape is sort of oval…they were a steal.

I think these are napkins or just little over lays. The red is so terrific.

So when I was checking out yesterday. I chatted with an older woman and I noticed she had a small glass dish with a lid. She uses them just like most America uses “Rubbermaid”…I have been thinking about collecting more of those dishes for leftovers and such. They are pretty cheap at thrift stores and garage sales. Plus, all those plastic toxins aren’t mariinating into your food, you know? So maybe instead of making a bea line to the linens, I’ll go to the glassware. i don’t know, will they photograph well? :)

I love all your finds! I remember that Aunt Boo Boo always had wonderful small dishes with lids to store leftovers in… she never used plastic. It seemed so civilized! Have lots of fun with your guests… isn’t it exciting to have visitors?
