Treasure find

I found some wonderful dishes at an antique/junk store a few months ago and now I can finally use them.

Christmas dessert dishes that say ~ "a partridge in a pear tree". I love the gold with the white. It's a set of 6 dessert plates, 6 cups and six saucers and I only paid $8 for all.



The cups have little gold partridges on the inside and around the rim on the outside it reads "on the first day of Christmas". The saucers say "my true love gave to me".

I can't wait to use them. They should look great with my china.

And on an outside note...

I dug up some ivy from the garden and put it in a basket and set it on the garden table for the winter. Ivy is great for displaying in pots during the winter season when not much else is growing.

I think I'll hit the garden center today and buy some ornamental cabbages and maybe some pansies for color.

Have a great day!
