The day was encapsulated with meeting a few fellow bloggers, lunching with lovely ladies that were not only kind but witty. The presentation was interesting and I'm looking forward to putting some of Eddie's idea into play in my own home. I learned a few non decorating lessons today that will serve me just as well as those that Eddie provided.
The morning began with perusing through many wonderful treasures from Eddie's Etsy shop. It was sensory overload and my brain couldn't think fast enough as to what I *needed* and where to place it in our home. I know, thinking shouldn't have been an option. Oh the pressure! :)
These are a few of the lovely items I parted with. I had to laugh at all the milk glass items. When my mother passed away we sold her very extensive collection. At the time I didn't care for the pieces and carried no appreciation for the plates, platters, vessels or their designs. I was in my late 20s at the time. Clearly I had no sense of taste. Now there is great regret as her collection was amazing and I've developed a fondness for its beauty.
On my way home to Connecticut, I stopped at one of my favorite shops in Old Saybrook where I found this sweet little creamer. I'm going to keep it by my sink to place my jewelry in while I'm cooking. I think my favorite find of the day is the salt and pepper shakers on the little tray.

I would have loved to spend the day like that! You found some beautiful things. I love that pedestal dish with the dome etched in leaves. That is gorgeous!
How fun it must have been to spend time with such an inspiring man. Love your new goodies.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new blog design! I also share your love of old milk glass. Believe it or not, I find pieces at our Goodwill all the time!
cute stuff! I have depression glass from my Grandma and am not fond of it anymore. I'll guess I'll go ahead and keep it though.
Wish I could have attended with you!
The salt and pepper shakers are my favorite too. I love their delicate little feet. You made great selections!
I'd love to go to an event with Eddie! Hope you will tell us all that you learned!
how fun! such pretty little finds too!
Jo,
I was so thrilled to meet you yesterday!!! I'm sorry I couldn't spend more time visiting. I hope you enjoyed yourself. I love the items you purchased. I got my first set of milk glass plates yesterday.

What a fun day. Love the little pitcher too. :)
Isn't it so sad that we don't appreciate these wonderful pieces when they are available for us? You CID pick up some lovelies though... Good for you!
I would have LOVED
to have been there!
You picked up some
beautiful items.
It IS funny how
our tastes change.
I've also given
away things that
I now sorely regret.
Happy weekend!

I would have loved to have gone on such a trip. I think the world of Eddie Ross. He has an amazing eye for decorating. I can't wait to see how you decorate your home for the holidays. I love all your goodies you purchased. The pedestal dish is fabulous !!!
