Here you see the "addiction" pieces in action. The set of dishes pictures here are NOT the same dishes!! Yeah, fooled ya, didn't I? One set is my grandmother's Haviland china, and the other is another set that are fakes - also purchased at an auction. Give up? The Haviland is on the top!! Guests for the holidays will be eating off the fakes, but they are just as pretty as the real thing and the goldware works fine for either set. (Yes, mother, I will iron the tablecloth before the guests arrive!!)
The auction was so much fun because several of my teacher friends were also there and we helped spend each other's money!! In fact, the Christmas party may be at my house using ALL utensils, dishes, etc. from garage sales or auctions!! And I will ask my guests to do the same. Sound like fun? We have to do something during this economic downturn to save, reuse and recyle.....but I do it just for fun!!! When and where is the next auction??
