Vintage Scarlet Crustaceans and Salad For Foodie Friday

I'm joining Michael Lee and all the other Foodie Friday fans for another food fest

over at Designs By Gollum today.  Bring an appetite and plan on a shopping trip to

make some of the great recipes that will be shared.

This vintage Wilendur "Lobster" tablecloth is highly sought after.  Mine was a recent

gift from the "Dish/Tablecloth Fairy" from the Homer Laughlin China collectors

forum.  Opened my mailbox and it was filled with these beautiful scarlet crustaceans!

White and Turquoise Post 86 Fiesta with acrylic chargers. Flatware and glassware from

Home Goods.  Large Turquoise bowl is a vintage "Betty Bowl" from Betty Crocker, candle

holders are vintage Metlox.  Also shown are some vintage Turquoise Harlequin pieces and

a vintage Rhythm gravy boat.

And to do justice to this beauty, we're having an easy peasy and delicious lobster salad.
