I really liked what your fortune cookie said. You know, me and husband got the same fortune one time. I was so surprised, and thought that was a good sign. How often does that happen, right? You have quite a collection of Chinese dinnerware. And your tunic is such a pretty color. <br /><br />I can't think of a better way to ring in the new year than spending it with your husband and just talking and being together. It makes me smile every time I see your pictures of Mt. Rainier. Thanks for sharing them with us.<br /><br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-84952916208092627362015-01-05T18:11:33.533-08:002015-01-05T18:11:33.533-08:00Love your gorgeous chinese linen and dishes.

Looks almost like a silk brocade to me. Gorgeous and also its special buttons.<br />We went for an authentic Italian dinner by our friend and Lady Chef Maria from Bolzano, Italy. That was delicious too. <br />By the way, did you cheat by not using those chop sticks? I love to eat with chop sticks!<br />Sending you blessings for the coming year.<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-24306590088798311822015-01-03T16:46:05.229-08:002015-01-03T16:46:05.229-08:00Mmm . . . we love Chinese takeout, and spending Ne...Mmm . . . we love Chinese takeout, and spending New Year's cozy in front of the fire. Your tablecloth find is so beautiful. In pristine condition, and somebody went to a lot of work making it. The dishes are delightful, including the spoon. Didn't know you owned an antique shop, sounds wonderful. And your Mt. Ranier is gorgeous in the sunset.

Your pieces are SO beautiful...that spoon and tunic are particularly amazing. I have a couple items my brother brought back from Thailand for me. He's in the military and has done more than his share of traveling everywhere! He's a decorated officer in the special forces... very proud of him. Anyway, I love pieces like that - from exotic far off worlds from our own.<br /><br />So happy to hear Heather is doing better. Prayers will be continued for all. Happy 2015 and thanks for taking us on the cozy date with you. You inspire with your wonderful traditions and creative ideas.
