Wonderful Hubby and I are really enjoying retirement! We've taken several trips this summer and blogging has taken a backseat but I hope to get my groove back soon.
A few weeks ago, a teacher friend of mine held an estate garage sale for her in-laws. The items were very good quality. I found several things that had to come home with me and I'm featuring two of them in this post.
The first is this pretty old enameled coffee pot.
It was perfectly 'aged' from previous wear.

I've enjoyed filling it with flowers for our kitchen table.
The other treasure I'm featuring is one of these small blue plates.
About a year ago, I found one just like it in a thrift store along with another smaller plate that was similar. I've used them both in a vignette with some other items in our office area. When I saw this plate at the sale, I knew it was an exact match and had to bring it home! I'm not sure if they are real dinnerware but I thought I'd reunite them for a pretty breakfast setting.
Here are the markings on the back. I'm not sure what they mean.
If anyone knows, I'd appreciate learning about them.

I'm also featuring some vintage dishes from my stash - some pink depression glass and two lusterware coffee cups and saucers.
I found these lusterware cups and saucers on a little trip near Hannibal, MO several years ago. There was also a creamer but no sugar bowl. I'm still on the lookout for one! Isn't that the fun part...the search?!
These three pink serving pieces, perfect for pastries and fruit,
are from different places.
This one was my mother's. It's so dainty!
I found this little bowl myself,
and this one was Wonderful Hubby's grandmother's.
Dear Mother-in-Law gifted it to me.
I love how she labeled it for us. This is such a good idea!
Vintage silver and glassware complete the setting.
Thanks for letting me share my new little treasure!
I'm joining these fun parties so stop by and see what others
are sharing this week!
