~ AN 'A' FOR EFFORT?~

Maybe not...but it's fun to play with dishes..and Fall flowers and silverware..

I'm playing with the big girls now...and it's intimidating...very intimidating..but what the heck..

:):)

A few days ago, daughter #3 came for a short visit and in no time flat was opening pumpkins with lids and searching every container she could find for "Candy Corn."

It is something that is always in our home from September on...

...there was NONE..not a single sweet kernel!

I got a sad look..when she heard I had not bought it yet...but soon...I promised...soon Sweetie...

So..yesterday Sweet Patient husband brought home two large bags...

I feel better! You know??

The Chargers are from Pottery Barn..and oh how I wish I had bought six of them!

The little Quail salt and peppers are from Fitz and Floyd...

My tablescape was very quickly put together.. it really is fun to do!

...but I wanted to join in the fun...Fall comes but once a year...and it seems so short a time..
Autumn colors go so quickly...

The china is by Nortaki. Its a set of 8 that I found at a garage sale for $35.00. It came with platters, gravy bowl, vegetable dish, cups and saucers, salad plates and dessert plates!

The only thing it didn't come with them was a name. On the back is the letter M and when I looked it up it said that Nortaki made china at one time that they didn't name.

It is simply called "Mystery" china.

Isn't that interesting?

This sterling silver is called "Prelude" and it from the 1930's.

Some of you might remember this garage sale find, set of 8 for just $10.00. It was even in a silverware chest. I looked the set up on the computer and it was worth $4100. And that was not including the four gorgeous serving spoons.. Not even sure the little butter knives were included in that price.

If that doesn't make you want to get your bottom dollar out of bed early on a Saturday morning and go to the garage sales...I don't know what will.
