I have been looking for some blue and white patterned plates to coordinate with the rest of my dinner ware collection. They had to be smaller than the luncheon plates but not a saucer. I found these at the second hand store last week and they are perfect. The right blue, the right size and the right price. Unfortunately, there are only 2 so I will keep looking. They did several patterns in the blue so chances are good I will find something.
They are vintage blue transferware dessert plates made by Myott, England 1940-1950s in the pattern called The Hunter measuring 7 inches in diameter. The ironstone plates have a rural scene with a hunter and his dog coming home. I love the fluted rim which adds just a bit more to the presentation.
At the same time I found these gorgeous small square yellow bowls. They are really nice. Just the right size of a dessert. I scored 5 of those. They hold 1/2 cup so they would work well for yogurt and berries, pudding with fruit, hummus with veggies, fruit salad, and a bunch more.
My aunt and I took in the James Taylor concert last night. Some of the songs were familiar and the crowd was chilled and well behaved. We took the train to the venue and managed to leave just a tad early to beat the rush on the train home.
It was a good experience.
On one of my walks this week I left a little earlier because I had a full day of things to do. I was rewarded with seeing a hot air balloon flying over the river valley while the temperature was cool and the winds were calm.
I took a picture of this cobalt blue glass vase on the window sill at my aunt's house. She has a lovely collection of this glass the the light was making it look pretty.

I was out for a meeting this morning so I took advantage of being outdoors to take a few photos. There is a particular area that I go by often and have wanted to stop. Today I stopped. It was very cold on the fingers so I had to keep my gloves on. I love the shiny look of the white bark on this tree. It glowed from the little bit of sun shining. I'm sorry I missed the top of the tree. 
I love this Tupperware bowl to the point that I have 2 of them. I love the color, the size and the quality. As you can see in the small photo I melted the edge somewhere along the line. It no longer created a watertight seal so I was limited how I could use the bowl. Since I wrecked the bowl I could not have it replaced on warranty. And buying a new one would mean it would not be yellow. This week, I found a replacement for this Tupperware mixing bowl. It did not have a seal so the price was good but I have one so I am good to go!
I read this book recently for the third time. I think I should read it once a year. It would help me to develop my attitude of gratitude. Ann Voskamp wrote the book after being challenged by a friend to write down 1000 gifts. It changed her view of her life when she actively starting looking in her life for gifts from God. The study guides arrived last week and I have started the bible study.
I bought this wooden cutting board last week. I am quite sure that it is bamboo. I have been wanting one for photography and this one fits the bill to a tee! It has great surface texture from a lot of great use. I ran it through a good cleaning process. I wonder if I should be oiling this? 
I found this cobalt blue bottle at the thrift store for a great price. It's sides are very uneven and there are bubbles in the glass. There are wonderful crackles in the glass. I'm going to use it as a vase in my photography. It's going to go well with the few other pieces I have in my collection which I shared here earlier.
