Happy 1st of March

I'm happily playing in the dishes!
This is 3 or more aspects of my
Easter Tablescape Dreams.

This all started with finding these adorable soup plates.

2 yrs ago David Lackey China closed their doors
but not before I hit the 77% off remnants.
I got the 7 soup plates that were there alone,
they looked a little like my wedding china.

Hubby and I had been going on dates there for 16 years.
I'm so grateful for a Hubby that will allow me dishes.

Remember I showed you this cloche.

maybe I can put the pink hearts on the b&b plates.

Syracuse China...made in America..Forget~Me~Not
They rooted in my heart
I could not believe it when I noticed
some china in Virginia last summer?
I mean...really.
Is that the china that goes with
the soup plates I just got?!!
Oh NO.....it is!!

I think an elderly woman in the area had just put them
in the antique mall to sell.  They harken back to
1949-1966.
8 plates and 8 bread and butter dishes too.
We knew we were in trouble. 
I had them call her to get the price better, but you
gotta know there wasn't much haggling going on. 
Do you understand Dish Love?

Hubby understands because he has a train room.

Dishes make me happy.

I'm working on a cottagy Easter scape.

Egg~specially Springy

I got the egg place holders for $4 at Ross

Love at First Sight..again!!

 

All 5 pieces are different birds, simply gorgeous.

terribly hard to photograph.

I'm so excited about hostessing Easter Dinner.

I think I'll have to add some cottage charm with

bird houses & nests & bunnies.

I'm not thinking menu yet, still dreaming.

I do see bird's nest candy at each place.

FUN!

That's all Peeps!
