We have been so hot here in Missouri most of September has been in the mid 90's with very high humidity-so I am so ready for fall.
Actually I think fall is my most favorite season of the year. I love the deep blue skies, fall colors in the trees, pumpkins and apples and I love snuggling in warm cotton sweaters and sweatshirts.-So I am ready and happy it has arrived.
Do you love Autumn (fall) too??
Remember when I mentioned my dishes when we were first getting moved into the lake house? I still had a few of my sister's set and I have an autumn pottery set that was originally my Grandma's on the farm until they were too heavy for her to use. So I got them and for gifts back then my Mom picked up allot of serving dishes, cups and saucers etc. to go with the fall dishes.
I only have two dinner plates left from each set. So Sunday morning I went hunting online in hopes to pick up these pieces.
from my sisters set-which I just so enjoy using as I love the pattern
I found a seller that was meant just for me-I was only looking for 2 dinner plates but he was selling 4 plates in very good condition with shipping for $16.00
I kept reading the listing to see if these were that much per plate but No. There is no way the seller is making any money at all on these-so It was cheaper to buy these 4 plates from him instead of 2 from another seller.
We use salad plates too for different things so I looked for those and was able to find an affordable price for them as well-two prices combined together I was happy with the total price.
I have really nice bowls and cups for this set still. When my sister had passed my Mom used these dishes and really enjoyed them as well.
These dishes were made in England by Royal Doulton and I have always loved them
So then I searched for two plates for my autumn leaf set. These were harder to find and were more expensive. I did find a seller that was more reasonable and the plates look pretty good-these bleach up well too. So I am pleased with my finds. I am ready to use this pretty fall set for sure.
Also I am thinking of checking out your Art Journal Journey themes soon. am I understanding the rules correctly-page needs to be 4" X 6" or larger in a journal page form-and I am thinking since it is says also mixed media-that my fibers will be accepted? thanks
Also Try it on Tuesday-does this challenge also require something flat like a page or a tag etc Is fabric-fibers accepted?? thanks
Happy Monday and first day of Autumn
