Phillip picked me up at 1:30 and we headed out. The restaurant was just busy enough to keep the food fresh and i was so hopeful that neither of us would get sick this year. Everything was hot and looked great, tasted wonderful. We laughed when Phillip got a bite that was too hot and his eyes teared, and spent the lunch catching up on the goings on in each other's lives.
And then to continue our tradition we headed over to Hobby Lobby. This is the first year that neither of us were actually looking for anything, so it was fun to just amble thru the store to see what was on sale. I did find some rope lighting for my back yard and i decided on some polymer clay and a new how to book. On the way to the check out was my down fall. There they were
i had been looking for a rose tea pot for months. my sister sent me a miniature one once and i wanted a full size one. i saw one at boston store, and then again a different one a pier one imports, but no money at the right time. when i had the money, they were both gone and i was so sad.
so there on the shelf i saw some wonderful flower shape tea cups. no saucers, but i still liked them a lot. Phillip has a great idea for a tea shop that we keep wishing we could open and we were saying how fun these cups would be to serve tea out of. and then i went to the other side of the display.
and i found this whole set. i had to restrain myself, only buying a few pieces. i didn't get the sugar and creamers, or the serving platters, but i just had to have this dessert plate. so very happy that they were on sale and all these pieces got to come home with me. at 50% off, i was very lucky. teapot, cup, saucer and dessert plate now have a new home on my shelf with the rest of my ever growing collection.
