Luck of the Irish

LUCK OF THE IRISH

Busy day today new dryer delivered,
(how do we survive with out one) 
Sunday School fellowship Party tonight.
OOPS !! can I bring decoration??? Not planned??? 

 But could not pass up sharing by St. Patrick table and my find at a new-old antique store.

 My dish alcoholic friend and I went to a local 
Vintage glass show last weekend
 and boy was that an eye opener. 
Let me tell you there prices were not
my usual Thrift store prices. 

We said it was like going to a 
car show to window shop!

 Needless to say I only found one
 bargain and that was because I won 

a $10.00 door prize that could 
be used at any of the vendors. 

So I did come home with one more
 Anchor Hocking green juice glass. Sweet!!!

 Boy have there price gone up 
since I last purchased one.

 Next we stop by a Thrift store
 and found four more of my 

Warren Kimble plates that
 I have not used in a while.

 Now for the Luck of the Irish find! 

We spotted a Antique store  on the way down,

that I had not visited in years so we made 
a stop on our way home and

 I hit the jackpot  are the Irish pot of gold.

 Instead of more words I'll show the pictures.

My find was 5 mugs with tags from Jo-Ann's
 originally marked $4.99 each, for
$5.00 for all 5,
 but wait there is more,
 the entire booth was 20% off.
Yes they jumped right in my 
hands and I did the happy dance
 all the way to the counter.
I got all five for less than one cost originally.
That was a big Yea Haw for my pocket book.
Share my other finds soon!

I really had decided it was so late 
that I would not even get my
St Patrick table together but as you
 can see my mind was changed.
Here are a few more picture of a 
very quickly thrown together table.

The only two new items on this table 
 are the mugs and my napkin rings.
You'll never guess what the
rings were to be used for!!! 

Do you have a guess!!

They are ponytail bands. 

Found them at Jo-Ann's 2 for $1.00

Really the colors do blend , don't know why the hats seem blue. 


Hope everyone has a great weekend
and  you enjoy St. Patrick's Day
Don't forget to wear that green!

Thanks for dropping by!

In Between Holiday Tablescapes

As I set here writing this, West Texas sand has blown in to North Texas

 and my head is telling me about it. I use to live in West Texas 

an always suffered when those red clouds blew in.

 Only in Texas can you have in one month

 ICE< SNOW<10 degrees <SUN with  75 degrees< 

29 mile gust with SAND  and 65 degrees.

 Guess it is better than 10 feet of snow and 10 degrees. 

During this time of the year I am in a dilemma. 

Don't you hate it when you are undecided!

 I think it is to early for St. Patrick decoration, Mardi Gras isn't until  March

 and then Easter is in April. 

What to do?????

 So thought I would pull out some of the dishes I have not used in a while.

 So here is a quick look at my In Between Tablescape.

wanted the dishes to fill they were at home ;) 

Visited a friend  that I play dishes with yesterday. Just had  to share her tablescape
