You made them all fit right in Jane, they look wonderful! Yep, the bunny is for anytime of the year, he's darling. These ironstone pieces sure go well with your red/white too. Wish I had a basement too, although Kathleen oftens moans about having to carry things up and down her's. I still remember when Judith was going to put storage shelves in her garage for the "overflow", remember? Luvs

Jeanne, I remember your picture of the buffet and glad to hear you've added more to your collection. I don't think I have room to collect much more but wouldn't pass them up if I came across them at the right price.LOL Jane and Luvs, happy to hear I made you both chuckle. We all need that in our lives. I love the prices at ys compared to GW and other ts. If I didn't work I would try to head out every Fri or Sat. just for exercise and fun. A cold this time of year? NOT GOOD. Better use some Vicks and gets lots of rest so you can hit the road and find more deals to share with us. I won't be able to shop this weekend cuz I'm holding down the fort while the others do a little vacationing. Punk

LG, your urns and the cache pot are lovely. And perfect for you. I am looking forward to seeing how you decorate with them. I'm not ready for Christmas, other than loving looking at stuff and buying some. But I sure want summer over, our nice Fall weather doesn't even start till around first of Nov! But last year I decided to start decorating for it on the actual first day of Fall. LOL. And I will again this year, it gives me so much more time to enjoy it. Its easy to tweek for Halloween. By the way, "someone" in Canada sent me some cookies!! Only in Canada can you find chocolate type cookies called Whippet (like my dogs!). I'd heard of them but never saw any. Now I only know two people in Canada, and the other one doesn't have initials of L.G. like on the mailing label. Did YOU send me these yummy cookies? ;o) hugs, Karen PS...Candy, thank you for not fighting me for that Cookie Chef Nutcracker! I really, really wanted him badly.

Thanks for the good suggestions ladies. The little cow butter dish is intended for a friend who collects cow items. Yachter, the tiny teapot is just an ornament--it looks like a cinnamon roll with icing dripping on it. The bell has little raised roses on it--not sure why I thought I needed it--but it was cute! Dreamgoddess, I can't seem to leave a rose plate behind! LOL Pasula, This is book #10 in that Spirit of Christmas series. I really need to find #1 so I will have 1-10 now. It has been fun hunting for them. I really need to find out how many were printed in that series so I know whether to watch for more or not. Kathleen, you can't tell in my lousy picture, but the two little plates are by Debbie Mumm and guess what???? They have acorns in the design! That's mainly why I bought them! Wish they would have had four instead of only two. Mo, Sandi, Blue and Karen, I like your idea of using ornaments instead of the candles on that little tree. When I drag all my Christmas decs out, I will have to play with it. Just couldn't leave it behind at only $1.99 plus 20% off! It is almost as fun sharing pics of my "treasures" with all of you as it was hunting for them. ;o) Luvs
