We have had a busy weekend with the future bride and groom in town.
Bridal Shower. "Meet the Nearlyweds" at a get together at my house. Lots of fun, food and idea spinning!
About a month ago an idea was sprung by Suebee, that it would be special to have the wedding cake served on a mix of vintage dessert plates. She had some to lend us.
. Her business partner, Kathy had some - no "some" is not the word. Sixty-one plates she's lent us from her own collections!
Along with the 25 Suebee is lending us and the measly few I've collected on various excurions with CG and Country Mouse we have a total of 112.
I can rest on my laurels for awhile until we get a final head count for the wedding reception and I have about 15 more here in my cabinets that could come out in a pinch.
And the Bridal shower? This sweet banner made by one of the bridesmaids says it all:
Several lovely days have been had by all.
Thanks to all my friends that have been helping me gather and lending me treasures for this very special wedding! You are all so appreciated! I'm glad Sammy, my FDIL got to meet all of you!

Take care, Sue
Those are some beautiful plates! I've been collecting the antique clear glass party plates for a few years. I use them for my daughter's birthday parties. The girls love it. I just bought 4 more with the cups that are shaped like apples for $3 last week! squeal! I'm a party plate addict and I can't help it! l ol
Have a Great Week!
