Wow MM ...having a friend who will 'alert' you to get first dibs on goodies...will definitely get you into trouble!
Seems like her call this time, paid off for you.
Very nice finds.... you Lucky gal!

What wonderful goodies you found. They will look great on some of your tables and sidecabinet. You will be in more trouble in time I bet.LOL So fun to shop and find things one can't live w/o huh?

How lucky for you! I want to see that burgundy n pinecone
tablerunner. That sounds beautiful to me, I really love burgundy as much as I do purple!

Your three little green dishes look like 3 amber ones I found at GW two years ago. I used mine in a yard totem tho.

hugs, Karen

LOL, those little green things are nesting ashtrays! I had the same ones when I first got married..almost 40 yrs ago!
I love that little white handled dish. Good for a condiment holder..
Great finds MM!

Karen:
Here is the table runner...

I haven't decided what to do with the little green dishes but they sure were cute when I bought them. Lol

How lucky for you to have a friend to help enable you. I love all your goodies, the candlesticks are really nice. My DS sells those nesting ashtrays in his shop pretty regularly. You could use then a lot of different ways.

Thanks for showing the tablerunner. WOW, that is REALLY pretty! Its going to look super on the side cabinet at Xmas.
I guess I should start looking at linens now at GW. LOL.
I never venture into that section, had no reason to.
You darn enablers strike again.

hugs, Karen

Beautiful table runner. It is so rich looking and will be beautiful with the way you decorate. You're still holding out on some of the other things you bought. Do you want to share the rest?LOL

Oh, MM, now I know why you didn't show that table runner in the first pics...you knew that I would be sputtering about how beautiful and original that burgandy "pinecone" table runner would look on my buffet at Christmas!!! Ahhh, that was nice of you to save that pic for later in the thread so I could enjoy all your other GREAT finds! TFS! Jeanne S.

What pretty candleholders with the roses on them--and that little condiment dish is so darn cute! How great to have a friend to alert you to new goodies--now can you get her to set them aside for you until you can get there too? LOL Very pretty table runner--you really got some good finds. TFS. Luvs

Karen :: Enabling is a good thing *S*.

Punk: The linens are plain colors so not much interest to share there. No holding out on my part. LOL

Luvs: My friend is an enabler of the worst kind so setting aside things wouldn't be a far stretch for her I don't imagine. I have a feeling she's going to get me in a whole heap of trouble, esp when I have to tell DH "need more storage space". LOL

You can do anything you like with them, MM..Candy or nuts, condiments, stick some oasis in them and make little flowerpieces...I have some really pretty Villeroy and Boch ashtrays..but they look like ashtrays! Wish I could find a good use for them.
I remember the grooves in yours held the cigarette. I can still picture them!

I can relate to how you feel as I'd really be in trouble if I had a friend who worked in a TS and enabled me more. I can do enough damage on my own! Anyhow she did "advise" you on some really nice treasures which I know you will enjoy using. I can hardly wait til we get on the road and I can check out all the places that hold my future treasures! So much to do before we can 'roll' tho.
