Wedding China Challenge

With Posterized Affect

Hello Sweet Friends,

So how has your day been??

Good,  I hope!! 

 Mine has been good,

taking care of our lil darling and having fun with her,

she was feeling the greatest today and had a bite this

morning that turned out to be 4 or 5 bites and as the

day has gone on they have gotten progressivley worse,

very red and swollen a couple starting to look like some

 sort of lesions,  so called Megan,  and she just came to

 get her to take her to the Dr.,  we had to wake her up

 bless her heart,  but she didn't cry or anything.............

.probably happy to see her Mommy,  so maybe that

 over road any sadness about sleep........lol

Hopefully, the bites are nothing serious but better

safe than sorry I always say,  would rather have

them looked at by the Dr. to make sure............and

of course, her Mom and Dad feel the same...........

Just heard back from Scott.....Dr. said they were

just some sort of bug bites..........relief!!

I don't typically post on Weds.,  but I did a special

post just for Kathleen's Cuisine blog,  her challenge

for this week was wedding china tables,  so while

I was in my creative mode last week and working

on the table for Mother's Day since I had a white

tablecloth on the table decided to pull my wedding

china out and do a place setting for  some pictures.  

So here they are......................

and make sure to go all the way to the end

cause there are other ways I have used them

that aren't quite so bland as the first picutes...........lol

My china is called "Roberta" by Deluxe,  

and It was a wedding gift from my Husband's parents in 1970.

The silverware is "Scandanavia"

 by Oneida

Have to say if would not have had the silverware

or the lovely goblets at all if it had not been for my

dad forcing me to register for it, cause I really didn't

think I would use it, but I am so glad he forced the

issue because once we bought our first home and

I was able to use it for holidays,  it was a thrill..........

So parents really do know best most of the time,

since they have been down roads we haven't yet.

I also might have never met my hubby if it weren't

for my dad making me break up with another fellow,
altho I didn't like it, I did know my dad loved me
 and had my best interest at heart.

...........and one week later I met my hubby on a blind
 date that my brother-in-law at the time,  set up.

I have been happy for a long time now that
 I listened to my Dad!! lol  I could have shot myself
in the foot by not doing so.............

These clear crystal goblets (in the pic above) were a gift 
from my neighbor many years later,  so I used those
 instead of my original ones,  which were..............

these lovely smokey green ones

Called "Glamour" by Fostoria

because these beauties very smashed in a crazy

china hutch implosion last year!

You can read about it here if you like.........

I also lost 3 of my china plates too, but I can still use it

if we only have 5 people.................so that wasn't

 too bad..................but lost a lot of other things as well.

If this were used in 1970"s this is how formal and bland it

 would look using a white tablecloth and napkins.

This just shows the platter and creamer and sugar bowl

that went with the set as well.  The coffee pot actually

came from a coffee set  we bought for my Husband's

 Parents on their 25th wedding anniversary.  We lived

in Germany at the time and it was Rosenthal china.

Didn't think about showing you the rest of the set.

It had a creamer and sugar bowl too,  and 12 dessert

plates and 12 cups and saucers.  All white with a 

silver edge,  as you can see on the coffee pot.

Actually very modern looking for the time, cause we

bought those in 1972.

Here are just a few pics to show you how

over the years I was able to jazz it up a bit........lol

For Easter....

Using just the dinner plates and the coffee set dessert plates

For a Wedding/not so Christmasy Birthday

table for my Daughter-in-love to be

right after they got engaged.............

Using the dinner plates and salad/soup bowls

For Easter another year..............

Only using the bread and butter plates

For a white Wed. vignette

For New Years

Using dinner plates and soup/salad bowls again

There are way more pics that these,  but so 

many years I never took photos..............or if I 

did they are lost in the oddles of pictures

 we have!  lol  Cause this china has been

well used over our 43+ years.

Thanks for taking the time to come by,

always nice to hear from you.
