May Kitchen Cabinet and More

This month I'm using another set of dishes by

Villeroy & Boch .

This is the Botanica pattern.

I remember buying this whole set at a
 neighborhood house sale for $40. 

Scooped it up I did before anyone

 else spotted these under the table.

It's a  5-piece service for 8

with lots of extra pieces.

Which, according to Replacements
 is valued at $1544.

My Longaberger Cornflower Blue

is on the upper shelves.

There was another beautiful set of dishes
for sale that day. Sadly I did not get those.

Blue Danube

Still thinking about them all these years later. 

(This set now sells for $830 on Replacements.)

Cobbler's Bench at Christmas

Cobbler's Bench for Fall

But I did get one of my favorite
antique pieces at that sale.
My fabulous cobbler's bench  

It was $150. We could have sold it
 to 6 people on our way carrying it out
 for 3 times as much.

Larry was getting tempted and I told him

 "Do not put it down!"
That was a close call!

Cheers!
