Ironstone & Straw

Ya'll know about this time of the year I am itching to do something with a fall theme.  I couldn't think of a better combination than white ironstone and straw bales.

This was that little vintage ironstone teapot I found at the thrift store on clearance for $2.50.  Chari at Happy To Design  emailed me and showed me the rest of the dishes that go with this teapot.  I was amazed because I just happened to realize that this very set of dishes was down at our Salvation Army on clearance for $10!  Chari said she purchased her dishes at Green Stamps!  Do you guys remember those?  I have bought things with Green Stamps when I first set up house.  So, anyway I am a proud owner of 40 more pieces to this vintage ironstone set for just $10.  I plan on using it in one of my Halloween tablescapes, more to come on that later.

Mom had been storing a little spice cabinet for me for years.   I got it back recently and found this in one of the drawers!  I'm keeping it!  That is what I call interest!

Fall is so on my mind!  I will be posting more about summer looks but, the hay bales are starting to multiply in my dining room!
