 |
| I didn't take pictures of them all but how pretty are they and they were in like new condition for $3 |
 |
| I got a bunch of little desert plates and cups and saucers I liked the delicate little flowers. |
 |
| I love these metal shades talk about a craft day project or you could just hang them as a light. |
 |
| How amazing is this vintage orange leather coat. It was free and lets just say I paid for it in a sense but that's a whole pot of coffee story that started a 7 am. with are you open! |
 |
| Love this sweet tea set. |
 |
| more bits and baubles for craft day!! |
 |
| I liked these they are the same set my cousin Elaine had thinking back her whole house was a great example of mid century! |
  |

I could use some help , what are thing you do at one of these affairs ? what do you serve? My sister and I are putting it together on September 12 Th I though a Sunday afternoon would be a good time? |
You are just the queen of treasure hunting! Such gorgeous things, I love the tea cups & saucers, so pretty & delicate..
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dishes and towels. You just made me curious about the orange jacket!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to anything like that for EVER, Heidi, but you and your sister will have a great party for them I'm sure. One thing I heard about was for everybody to bring a memory of them written out, not too long, or send it before hand. Then it can be put in a book - memories from all their friends and relatives. I like that. I'm here for moral support anyway. Diane
oh.... my.... god.... (well....)
ReplyDeletewhat is all this, girl? i mean... how d'you do it? and that orange jacket.... oh, phiew!
where the naked light shades are concerned, i'd ofcourse clad them in a dottie angel experience...
good luck with the intentions, and ENJOY all that vintage....!
hey? i suppose we could dream up a swap. you in my kitchen, me in your, er, attic, garage, back room, ....
and have plenty of cups of tea and cakes to keep us going?... :)))
i love all your treasures you manage to find in an aladins cave somewhere hehe- they are always a true gem!...love, love,love the pink tea set!
ReplyDeletewowza that is beautiful xxxx
Hi Heidi,
ReplyDeleteYour found some great looking things! Congratulations to your parents. Fifty years is really a lot!! I have been thinking about your question: it depends on the time the party for your parents will be held. For large groups I prefer organising teas or a Meditteranean salad buffet. You can do a salade buffet at the end of the afternoon, right into the evening. The advantage of both options is that you can make a lot in advance.
Wishing you a happy day!
Lieve groet, Madelief
Love your finds! You have such great taste - by the way, the kids (last post) look so BIG!!! I can't believe Jeremy is starting HS! Where did the time go?
ReplyDeleteI found a website that might help with your folks anniversary party:

Hope it helps! Talk soon - Amanda
that jacket is cool, I'd totally wear that.
ReplyDeleteHi Heidi; with your stash of vintage china why not go for a traditional 'English afternoon tea' styled the 'Ritz'. This allows for delicate no crust cucumber sandwiches, Smoked salmon delicate sandwiches, a mountain of small but delightful fresh cream cakes; quality tea and of course Champagne! yum yum can I come...
