New China

 

 So the last thing I need is a new china collection and I have been resisting this china for a very long time. 

It's from Anthropologie. The other day I was out shopping with my friend Deidra and

she wanted to stop in Anthropologie to look around.

 

 I picked up this plate and said...I've always loved this china.

She said "Oh..I love it too...we both need it!"

So she bought me the above plate.

 There are several designs in this collection and now I need one of each.

(which is why I'd been resisting buying it)

So thanks to Deidra, I'll be going back time to time and buying another dish till I have a set.

  

 

Each plate is cute in it's own way. But the lizard one is my favorite.

I wish the flamingo one was pink instead of red.

 

pretty little tea cups too

I love that it's almost time for flowers.

 I was driving by the farmer's market on Reno and Pam's Plants had all their pansies out.

I could not resist. I bought some pansies to add to the ones that made it through the winter here.

Last night...a big goodbye to Deidra dinner was had at Picasso's on the Paseo.

Once a month they do a vegetarian dinner and wine tasting.

Each course was better than the last with the dessert ending the evening.

Have you ever had lavender flavored ice cream? 

They served it with roasted figs and sprinkled with pistachio brittle.

Oh..my it was heavenly!

I said to everyone that I was so sad that I'd never have this dessert again.

Because it's not something they normally have on the menu and each month they 

do and entirely different meal.

Deidra said I could make it myself. But that is seriously doubtful.

But it would be very nice to eat lavender ice cream on my new china!

Mod Mix Monday #131

via

I fell in love with this image when I came across it recently.

Isn't that a fun modern vintage way to decorate for the holidays?

Very simple but effective.

Pretty holiday things springing up in Mod Mix Monday from last week..

let's take a look at my faves.

Heather at Vivid Hue Home shared how she made these cute and simple felt covered ornaments.

 

Kathy at Yorkshire Linen Co. made her own personalized Christmas plates and shared how.

So special!

Tricia of Little Cottage on the Pond showed off the changes she's made to her master bedroom.

It's beyond lovely!

 Katie at Let's Add Sprinkles shared her guest bedroom which included this little 

message board created from a vintage washstand towel rack and chicken wire.

 Melinda of The Refeathered Roost set up a pretty vignette to honor one of her favorite songs 

from one of her favorite movies. I love this song too! 

 Love the new farmhouse table over at Mimi's Vintage Charm.

When she found it, it was unpainted. She added the charm by painting it with Chalk Paint.

I love the color combo she chose.

Share your new mixes below.

Remember anything old made over to be new...anything new changed up to look old.

New and old together...
