Just a quick post as I am "under the weather" today! Since our host for Past Due Tuesdays at ROOMIES posted about plates, I wanted to share my plates. I got these old mismatched plates from some friends, and had just enough to do one run of border in the backyard! I've been wanting to do this for a long time, and am still trying to get more to finish edging the rest of the yard!
I've had this set of china for about 10 years. I collected it piece by piece until I had a service for 8.
I think this pattern was made in the 1940's, and it's hard to get right now!
I use it every Easter for the family get together, and although I still love the pattern of the single pink rose and wide pink band,
I'm thinking of moving on with something different, cuz it's just "not me" any more, you know what I mean? Maybe it's time for someone else to love it?
I went to visit my husband's family in Las Vegas recently. I love them very much, but I fell deeply in love with my sister-in-law, Ginny's cat, Daisy. She is so sweet, and crazy and she loves pigeons as much as I do, although it's for different reasons. Anyway, I had fun painting this little 5 x 7 (acrylic on canvas board) as a thank you to Ginny who insisted we stay at her darling house. (When my pink house grows up, it wants to be just like hers!)
I don't cook but my kitchen is red hot! Actually it's green (probably with envy of those who cook well or maybe it's just trying to disguise the unmentionable food gone bad in my fridge!) but I have lots of red accents. You may recognize the red-checked apron from an earlier post when I used it as a window treatment. The darling crochet hot pads were found and given to me by my sister Pat. The other items were all found during my hunts for items I like to sell at the shop, but they came home to roost in my kitchen instead. I've been wanting to use that rusty tool for mixing pie crusts for displaying photos. Hard to explain, but you make a stand of some sort with a wood block so that it stands vertically and slip a photo in the wire. Cuz you KNOW it's not gonna get used for making crusts in my house.
The Queen Of Scream knows all, sees all. Tonight is the opening event for October at the shop. Usually, we all wear cute little flowered vintage hats, but tonight it's different. A little darker if you will.
Here's my finished crown. My "Queen Of Scream" is surrounded by her trained black widow spiders, who sit on wire spiderwebs, and she is guarded by her two bony henchmen. No sissy pets for them, they each have a cockroach!
The back is tied up with burnt orange lace for a comfortable & adjustable fit! Put it over a black witch hat and POOF! it's a hat!
