Today I am sharing one of my first posts from over a year ago. I don't think I even had a follower than. I am excited to be joining Marty's Cloche Party! I used my vintage Straffordshire Dishes from the 1930s. A little hand-me-down from my mother. If, you saw my recent post about my plate addition...I didn't even include these. I am sad to say, they are stashed in the garage. If I had a hutch they would be the set I'd display. I remember my mom using these at all her dinner parties. If, you aren't already following Mary's "A Stroll Thur Life," you are missing out! She's got a fantastic blog! http://www.astrollthrulife.net/
Here's my original post:
Playing with my new bell jar. I wanted to add some fresh flowers from my garden. I tried to capture (literally....) some memories of Paris.
I still have NO idea what I am doing in this land of blog. I took my old post and posted it to Marty's party. However it doesn't up-date to my newest post and remains where it was over a year ago. Oy Vey. SO them I copy and paste the whole post and make a new post. Now I realize it's not connected to party. Oh, well.
ReplyDeleteKaren,
ReplyDeleteyour Paris theme in the cloche is very nice. Love it on that beautiful china.
Hi Karen! Love your cloche...I am a dish addict, too! Thank you for following me. I followed you back. Try linking your new post to Marty's Linky Party. Look on the sidebar of my blog and you will find some useful blog tips. It takes a while so be patient w/ yourself.

Thanks Audrey :) I will take a look at your tips. It makes me feel better when my husband (engineer and computer wiz...even struggles to help with Blogger) SO many things I'd like to add and do....I'll get there!! Thanks for the encouragement!
DeleteHi Karen, thanks for your recent visit and comment. Now I am here to visit with you. I'm so glad I came because I love your Paris themed cloche. Your roses are beautiful and seem even more so under glass. And your china! Be still my heart!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jane. I was really lucky to get this set. I am ashamed that it's in the garage...in a copy paper box! Geez. I need to get motivated and do a tablescape with it.
DeleteOh I am so happy you joined the party. Your cloche is fantastic and the Eiffel Towel and roses are fantastic. How wonderful to have such beautiful china too. Everything is gorgeous. Love it. Thanks again for joining the party. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteMarty, your party is fabulous! Sorry this post is separate from the link I left at the party. I am learning. I tried to go back and switch it to this updated post but, it won't do that for me. Thanks for hosting! I just love your blog. Happy to be a part of your party! So many creative people and great blogs! I love a good party!
DeleteYour cloche is beautiful with the Eiffle Tower and the pretty roses. I also love the shape of your lovely china plate.

Awe, that is so pretty! I love the dishes. That triangular one is very interesting and pretty! It is nice to have things from our mom's collections. It makes them that much sweeter!
