She also had beautiful peach trees and strawberry patches in the backyard...and this was in arid, dusty, Western Oklahoma. I love flowers...major knee problems have always prevented me from getting down on my knees to work the lovely, yucky, red clay that passes for dirt out here on the prairie. I'm pretty much just a pansies to impatiens + daylilies and back to pansies girl...so sad. The flowers are like jewels for your wonderful tablescape. The new plates are such fun...they'll be favorites for a long time to come. Thanks for sharing your lovely design and for stopping by my post.

It's apparent that you were daddy's darling little girl. You inherited beautiful pieces, so maybe you could start a collection of depression glassware and crystal.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting and posting on my blog. As a kid,I was not interested in stamp or coin collecting. I did not have any collections until I moved out on my own - glass and crystal decanters, china/dishes, and (mini)teapots. And yes, TJ Maxx, HomeGoods and Marshalls have great affordable finds.<br /><br />All the Best,<br /><br />RequiRequi Tablescaping Escapadeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17812543545175111089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484061334032211360.post-16165697033966694782010-06-17T09:11:57.628-07:002010-06-17T09:11:57.628-07:00What a beautiful table.
