M.I.A...

I've missed you guys! What a crazy few weeks! Some great things going on and some not so great.

Great... we moved into an adorable new house with much more space for our friends, our family and of course my dishes.

Not so great... Shawn's grandpa passed away. It was very sad to lose him but celebrating his life with family was very special. His mom came into town from NJ and even with the sad circumstance we made the best of  her visit.  She was able to meet my parents and best friends for the first time and see both the apartment building we own and our new place. I think we are closer to talking her into moving to Dallas too.

Great... TVD supplied dishes for a sweet shower this past weekend and booked a HUGE wedding for October. The shower hostess lives just a few blocks from our new place so I was able to meet a neighbor in the process. She was nice enough to share some photos with me.  The serving pieces are not mine but I wish they were.

Here's to hoping the next month brings all great things for us all.

On the hunt...

I'm always on the hunt for vintage dishes so when I saw there were 4 thrift stores in Fredericksburg I knew I'd find the time to at least check out a few.  While Mere was preparing a delish brunch for us before we hit up the wineries, Michelle and I hit up the F'burg Goodwill and the Hill Country Memorial Hospice Thrift Store. The GW was a flop but Chelle and I found some great things at the HCMH shop. 

Here are my finds plus a few pics of dishes we've added to TVD's inventory...

Nice little haul...

Pretty little coffee cups and a fabulous platter with scalloped edge.

I've started collecting milk glass for my sister's Summer 2014 wedding.

I love the rim of this plate!
