Grandma and Grandpa took a pass on this activity.

Yet Another Keeper

Please come over to Coloradolady for Vintage Thingies Thursday.

and

Vintage Inspiration Friday over at Common Ground

and

White Wednesday over at Faded Charm

Can you stand one last "keeper" ???

Prior keeper posts have included:

Tablecloth Keeper

Napkin Keeper

So practical and they do really work to keep sterling and silverplate from tarnishing.

This one holds 12 knives and many of these keeper sets had matching keepers for

spoons, forks, napkins and tablecloths.

Thanks so much for stopping by again this week for Vintage Thingies Thursday,

hope you will come by again next week for something else vintage!

Fall Colors Are Creeping Into The Mix

It's time again for Marty's weekly Tabletop Tuesday over at A Stroll Through Life.

Come join the party!

Even though it is still basically summer here in Northern California, I seem

to be gravitating to some of the darker colors that show up in Fall tablescapes.

This vintage tablecloth is topped with Made In China chargers,

Post86 Fiesta in Turquoise, Cinnabar, and White.  The little checkered

bowls are from a vintage look line of dinnerware from Homer Laughlin.

Glassware from Pier 1, flatware is "Cityscape."

The turquoise vase is vintage and was one of the vases done in several different

shapes and colors by Homer Laughlin for the 1939 World's Fair.

One of my very favorites shapes in Post86 Fiesta is the Gusto Bowl.

The salt and pepper shakers in Ivory and Turquoise are vintage Fiesta,

as are the Carafe and 2 Pint pitcher in the image below.

Cut-work cake stand is from Home Goods.

Vintage mixing bowl is tiny and comes in several other sizes.

The bowls in Cinnabar and Turquoise are the Post86 Rimmed Soup Bowls.

Another favorite shape in Post86 Fiesta is this Hostess Bowl with its deco decorative design.

The fold-up sandwich tray is a reproduction.

Heart shaped Post86 bowl in White.

Thanks so much for coming by to see my tablescape on this Tabletop Tuesday!

White Wednesday

Evening sun reflections.

Happy White Wednesday, thanks for coming by.

Tabletop Tuesday and White Wednesday

I'm joining Marty over at A Stroll Through Life for her Tabletop Tuesday party!


I'm also stopping in over at Faded Charm for the White Wednesday party!
I had a very WHITE house until 3 years ago when we built this house.
There are still some favorite white spaces as hold overs. :-)


A quiet space by the claw footed tub.
