~ DOES THIS COUNT~

Hello everyone...Well it's that time once again to play with our dishes...with our hostess Susan at "BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH"

These are my newest addition to my family of dishes...I got these at Second Sunday Swap meet...

Now here they are in my sun room just waiting for me to unpack them...

Now here we are waiting in the kitchen for me to wash them all...

Now I looked these up at replacement Ltd. to fine out what I could on these...They were made in ca.1940 and I got a service for eight...with 2 oval serving bowls, 2 platter, and the Creamer and sugar and, fruit bowls, bread plates. luncheon plates, and soup bowls with the saucers...

I also got 6 crystal Fostoria wine glasses...these I paid $10.00 for all

Now here we are all washed sitting on my cutting board...just waiting for a new home...

Now look at these sweet soup bowls with saucers....love the handles on them...

Ok we finally made it into my dining room...See the meat platters there...

Oh I just loved this Cream and gold .....

Of course they joined a new Toile Tea put and sugar and creamer I also got....Plus some clear glass plates...

Also they are joined by Place mats and napkins for further Tablescapes...

Now guys at Replacement Ltd. to buy this China would have cost me $ 737.54 for all the pieces I got Sunday...But are you ready for this...I kid you not my friends I got all of this for $40.00 plus the wine glasses for a Grand total of a fifty dollar bill...Now tell me I wasn't doing my Happy Dance plus my Irish jig...WOW!! now I only hope I can find the time to do a Tablescape with them by next week...Did I do good guys or what...Hey its on my table so does that count as a Tablescape ha ha!!

May all of you have a great day...and go by and see Susan to see some tables that are put together ha ha!!

Hugs and smiles....Gl♥ria

~FREE TO BAD HOME~

WARNING LABEL NEEDED !!!

You see this innocent looking husband...well girls let me tell you he's NOT !!

Oh and that sweet looking SUV...also a NOT!! Now this Cadillac I got when my Daddy died in 05...I have only drove it once since I got it...only 7000 miles on it...But the DMV won't let me register it because it already has 6 factory recalls on it...Well after a ton of paper work with the DMV and my insurance Company and $800.00...I was finally able to take it to the dealer yesterday for all the fixing it needed...So now it at there hands to get it fixed right...Ok anyway while we were in Stockton which is 65 miles from my home...Len did take me to Homegoods and Ross...Good hubby right!! WRONG!! We found a new food store we never heard of and bought a few things...Now Girls Len is a Diabetic and has me up at least once every week with his sugar too low or high...And he's not suppose to eat sugar at all!!

These were my donut holes I bought just for me...Well I go to bed before him and he sneaks BIG TIME...

This is what I got up to this morning !! I want to kill this man that is still in bed as I clean up all these ANTS...He not only ate the forbidden Sugar but left the lid open....

The next time you see this man he'll be on a "MILK CARTON" I kid you NOT...You'll will see me on a "DATELINE" Special...ha ha!!

Hope all of you have a great day ....

Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria

~MY GARDEN GUEST BATH~

Hello guys, Well are you ready to see my olden Garden guest bath....All of this stuff I got from family, Second Sunday swap meet or thrift stores... How do you like my new old window...I got this yesterday at second Sunday and just knew it called my name...Len just got it hung for me today...Oh can you love an old painted and chippy window...You bet your panes you can...OMG I just sounded like Shelia at "Note Songs"didn't like...ha ha!!

See the sweet little bunny hiding out there...

Now girls this is my olden claw foot tub...with the shower bar...I already told you how I found this tub in my friend field and had it redone...Also I have alot of old picket fences in this room...

Now you really can see the angles these wall are on...Hey it's an attic room...

Faucets...these I ordered from a place in Murphy's Calif along with the shower bar...

Pedestal sink also got out of my late FIL yard and had Miracle method redo it....

I love bunnies and of course you have to have some extra TP so what better place to put in than in an tin bunny basket...I have air refresher in the bunny planter...

Old wheel barrel that I have dried flowers in...Also one of my old watering cans....Hey remember this is all about the gardens and bunnies..

Another old window that I put 2 old chippy shutters on each side of....

An old hay fork that I hung an old straw hat from...see the bunnies peaking in the wall paper...

Now this old buffet I got 10 years ago to use for this bathroom...as I have no storage in here and needed a place to put towels, extra TP Etc...

The top with my 2 old Bunnies I got last year from second Sunday that came out of a flowers shop display from ca. 1950 these are made of straw....

This pitcher I got from Hospice thrift store 2 months ago....Just loved it...

The basin or bowl was Len's and I just put them together...love the little green flowers on it... This came from England...And the dresser scraf my Mama made ...sighs..
