Love the linen and the delicate crocheted edging. My grandmother did many pieces like this with those pretty trimmed edges. The pie looks so good but I am so allergic to rhubarb that I nearly died once when my mother made a pie and I tasted just a fork full. My throat closed and I swelled up like a balloon with huge hives all over. No pie for me!!!! LOL<br /><br />Thank you for stopping by while I was on vacation. Being home again is so sweet and I am enjoying catching up.<br />Have a great day filled with blessings.<br />xo<br />Celestina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021633519525822335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-24603311354868410682014-08-19T10:18:15.870-04:002014-08-19T10:18:15.870-04:00Oh, Deborah, you had a such a special day of thrif...Oh, Deborah, you had a such a special day of thrifting! I LOVE that tablecloth: the pattern is precious, and I can't even imagine the amount of work htat was put into crocheting that lovely border. I'm so glad it found a home that will truly appreciate all the effort put into it! Your tea looks lovely and welcoming. Your plates look so well together. You've got me thinking about a visit to our local antique mall!!!

I love the way the new plate plays with them, too. I also love the new linen (even though I TOO am all about the white and cream or taupe right not.) <br /><br />I just love to thrift. I'm like you in that I do have the will power to put a few things back, but I always walk out with something, and usually it's of the linen or china variety.
