~QUIET EVENING~

Hello guys!!! Well it's that time again where we get to play with our dishes with Susan at " Between Naps on the Porch" Be sure and go see all the others playing today...

Tonight we are having a quiet dinner for one and a new book to read...

Please sit down on my Antique bench and enjoy...

Chari at " Happy To Design" had this book for her one year anniversary as a give away...just knew I had to have it and also knew I would not win...Melissa at " Heart and Home" won... boo hoo...like she who is the worlds greatest decorator needs a book on decorating...Boy it some times sucks to be me....Any hoo I ordered this right away from Amazon so there Chari and Melissa....ha ha!!!

Its another one that is chalked full of wonderful decorating ideas...I give it 5 stars for sure oh!! wait this isn't RMS so I give it a 10...Ooooh I just love the bust there...

Now I don't know about you but I love looking at all the pictures close up...

This silver ware I got from Second Sunday 2 weeks ago its called "Community" from Rogers and sons...I got an 8 piece set of it plus the serving pieces....

Added a crystal candle holder, a crystal sherry decanter, little crystal stem ware glass and my little glass swan flower holder with some blue flowers....My oldest daughter Barbra got this for me when she was 16 WOW!! and now she's almost 50...

One of my little crystal swan salt cellar's and a little salt spoon I also got from Second Sunday about 3 months ago...

China was my Grand Mothers...I have a service for 12 of this....

Napkins were from my Hospice trip last month and Silver napkins ring also from Second Sunday this month I got 9 of them...For are you ready for this $10.00....

Swan's eye view....

Look!! after reading the book I added one of my bust next to the table....Chari also has this same bust...so I guess between us we are 2 Busty Gals...ha ha!!!

Now guys you had to suffer through all of that just so I could show you my latest find....This wonderful Tole hand painted tray...Is it not a beauty....it's so big everything you seen I had sitting on it...I had wanted one of these for so long...but every time I found one it is way out of my SS check budget....Well this one costed me $25.00 tell me I wasn't doing my Happy Dance...

Now do I have your attention Yet ? I am having my 1 year anniversary in 3 weeks and I have been real busy for over 2 months buying stuff for this special day !!! So in honor of my first year...I thought I would tease you like Lynne at " Lynne's Gifts from the Heart " does and start showing you just a sneak preview of what's coming...I know Lynne I'm a copy cat...but girl you know you love me more than your luggage... RIGHT!!

Be sure and go see Susan and I hope all of you have a great day...Thanks for the visit today...it does mean the world to me when you come by....
