Buffet in Green


I bought a green ruffled pie plate.
 Obsessed  with ruffles I am.
The pie plate lead to this concoction on our buffet.
By the way I do not bake pies.




The old buffet is good looking with spring green touches.
I think so anyhoo.


The platter is Wedgwood fine bone china. 
The bowl, creamer and knives were all picked up at yard sales.


You might be dizzy after viewing these images.
I swear I was not inebriated.


Minerva is still on the right side of the buffet with the vintage riding helmet.


Joe and I ran across a stash of letters recently.
I will show you more in another post. 
We were glad to get the @.

  13. Olive,
    your green touches are so "happy" and a great start to spring! No baking here either but love the dish! The buffet is lovely and you know I'm loving that riding hat! (just picked up another one, couldn't resist)! I may have an addiction problem, do you think DR Drew can help? (how many is to many)?

  16. I do not bake pies either. What I do is get one at the bakery and transplant it into my pie pan and it looks like I did it. Who needs to know. Well, I guess anyone who reads this will. Have fun. Richard from My Old Historic House.

  20. Vanna darling, my personal style is just as yours. I wear a lot of grey to coordinate with my hair and usually have a ruffle on me somewhere. Oh and lots of silver and turquoise. All second hand save one bracelet Joe bought for me.

  24. Love it all! I'm always so interested in seeing how other people decorate buffets, coffee tables, dining tables, etc. Those are so hard for me. Your buffet looks great!
