Hi Y'all, So glad you could drop in..... The Table is set and I am so happy that you are here...



Last Thursaday I pulled out all my Fall colored dishes and if you remember I set the Table with my USA Brown Drip Dishes. I have been collecting them for about 33 years now.




This week I added some of my Depression Amber glass that I have been collecting for many years also...



I found the wonderful bead napkin ring holders this year. Both Belk and Dillards have them in stock now in our area. I think they look great with the Amber glass .










I think the Amber Glass really dresses up the Table.








Thanks so much for stopping by...... As always it has been my Pleasure.

PINK SATURDAY



Pink Saturday, is graciously hosted by Beverly, at How Sweet the Sound. Be sure to visit Beverly's beautiful blog to see a complete list of all the participants in today's Pink Saturday.



I I have 4 girls, and I have tried to get each one of them to paint their first car pink.... They all have said no way......



If you could drive a pink car, which car would you drive.... Would you drive a pink car?





If your Pink car needed a tow... Would you call this Pink Toe Truck?

The pink Toe Truck still exists, but there are two of them. After the owners retired, the truck was moved to Lincoln Towing facility on Aurora Avenue north, just north of Home Depot. I believe you can still rent it out for weddings and special occasions.

Have a good Pink Week...

My First Dishes




When I was a young bride , and set up my first home, my mother gave me six three piece place settings as a wedding gift.





Now this was 33 years ago...You could still walk into a store and buy them new in the box , You can only find them on e-bay and antique stores now... They are very collectible....




Over the years I have added many pieces to this collection...




For many years these dishes where my eveyday dishes....



I now pull them out and just use them in the Fall , September -November...



It is by far my largest collection of dishes , They are USA Brown Drip Dishes... I think I have about 200 pieces now...




Thank you so much for stopping by, I always appreciate your visits.
