Snow

OMgosh I drove up to Kansas City this morning and there was snow on the roofs of houses along Interstate 70 once I got to Blue Springs around Independence and Lees' Summit.
I went to my sisters at Lees' Summit for a quick visit with another sister of mine. Then we drove to an auction house I put my entire set of crystal Iris & Herringbone dishes in.
I know you loose a lot $$$ putting items in auctions sometimes? but I am on a mission to clean out my house so I can redecorate or just move LOL

I am looking for my turkey plates to use for Thanksgiving and forgot which closet I put them in , I did find more brown and white transferware dishes I got from a Great Aunt and a platter I picked up at a resale shop once.

                                                 
This ironstone platter that the oversize sugar and creamer is setting on matching the set
I am sure this set on my Great Aunt Ollie's kitchen table all the time I remember when I was a kid I thought all her old dishes was ugly now my sisters and I fight over who gets what and we trade dishes , do you all ever do that? Say I'll give you the brown transferware set if you will give me the old lamp she had etc? LOL well my sisters and I do this a lot LOL

This is a platter I found at a resale shop here in town , I'm ready to part with it however I find shipping dishes to be difficult and costly or it would put it in etsy
 Well I haven't found my pictures of my turkey transferware plates so will show you my brown speckled  graniteware/ enamelware coffee pot . I bought in an auction years ago in Glasgow Missouri a little river town. It was a 2 ring 2 day sale . Which I am sure some of you younger gals never went to such a sale? 



Ok I'm going to bed to watch TV and unwind from my busy fun day.

  1. The platter is gorgeous. Wish I was close to you, I'd immediately get that one. I know, we think our relatives and even parents had ugly things, once we grew uo we want everything, lol!

  10. Beautiful treasures! I love that enamelware coffeepot. We woke up to about 4" of snow this morning. Somehow snow makes the cold more bearable. The first snow is always so pretty.

  13. I am like you, have many things I need to get rid of. Only thing, it is a shame, what we pay for treasures and then never get what they are worth. I hope things turn out well for you.

  17. Oh how fun! And what lovely pieces - as good for kitchen and home decor as for practical use. And snow fun to hear more snow stories. My grandkids are thrilled with having it - while I am thrilled with not having it. Have a lovely week.
