~SECOND SUNDAY DISHES~

Hello Friends...Well here it is our favorite day of the week where we get to play with our dishes....Now last month I show you the dishes I got from Second Sunday swap meet...See here

This china is from ca. 1940 it's Royal Ducal Horentine pattern...just loved it when I seen it...services for eight....I didn't have time to play dishes before my trip to Texas ha ha!!

But I'm back and playing again...as a rule I like to use a lace table cloth...but these dishes don't need a dress...

Oh Guys I love the cream soup bowls... with there own plates

Remember I also got these six Fostoria fluted glasses from the same booth I got the china from...Still can't find this pattern...BILL Help me please you know about all this fancy stem ware....Oh and girls if you have not been to Bill's blog " Affordable Accoutrements"
You need to do yourself a Huge favor and go see the wonderful tables this man can do...It a real drool on your keyboard moment...

Oh Look at these plates !! Love the gold trim on them...even if I have to hand wash them...

Coffee cup and saucer

Creamer and sugar...Oh yes this set came with serving bowls and 2 sizes of platters...

One of the serving bowls...

These were my Mama's they are also from ca.1940 Royal Doulton Company...

This one is called " Elegance " just seemed fitting to use them on this table with the china from the same time period...

One of the fruit bowls and saucers...Oh Yes each piece has it own saucer, Added little S/P at each place sitting...

Gold flatware...was my Hospice find for $ 10.00 services for 8 with the candle sticks, Napkin rings, and 8 S/P and the cutlery box...Not Bad...I just gave this to my Daughter Gina along with my Chintz China...But she have not picked it up yet so I played with it once again ha ha!! Napkins I got from Home Goods a few months back with aqua blue place mats for $ 9.99....

I Added 2 lace place mats to the center for my centerpiece and a basket from Italy...That I can't never remember the name of it starts with a C...does anyone know what this ceramic is called...I got it at an estate sale in 1998 and I think I paid like $25.00 for it then...

One of the serving Platters...

Bird's eye view...of the table for 4...

Now I just wanted to show you the base of my DR table, I Love the "Griffith's " or winged Lions, I got this table, 2 China cabinets , Sideboard and a matching Ice Box all from an Estate sale in upper New York in 1980...even the chairs have the original horsehair stuffing...the table has 3 leaves and extends to 11 feet its from ca. 1880 and I am only the second owner of it...If you would like to see more of this furniture pieces click here...

And I won't even tell you what I paid for this whole set....Lets just say it was my trip to Europe ha ha!!

So how do you like my tablescape from Second Sunday swap meet...total cost for china and stem ware $50.00 playing with the dishes again PRICELESS...

Now go by and see Susan and see all the great eye candy waiting for you today...I'm heading that way myself...
