Way back on Tuesday, That Old House had a post about my new
Pottery Barn turkey plates, paired with different color dinner plates.
Curious as to which was the most popular color combination?
If you think it's the red dinner plate pairing, you are right.

Here's how it all turned out:
Robin's Egg Blue -- 4 votes
Red -- 7 votes
Turquoise -- 4 votes
Green -- 4 votes
"All of them" -- 3 votes
And also getting 3 votes . . . the original Pottery Barn display tablesetting plates, which were a golden yellow.
Even though I didn't have any golden yellow plates to use.
This is the tabletop display from the PB outlet on Long Island,
where I got the turkey plates back on Saturday:

Well, guess what?
You just never know what you'll find at our local Goodwill Store.
And on Tuesday, late afternoon, I found big dinner plates, golden yellow, for 99-cents apiece.
Pretty slick, huh?
Our Goodwill yielded a few other goodies.
Should that be "a few other goodwillies?"
Maybe not.

Maybe not.
Anyway, I found a milk glass pitcher for 99-cents.
Silver serving pieces, $1.99 each. After polishing, they will look fabulous on a buffet table.
They are very heavy, too; they don't feel chintzy.
(Now there's a word you don't hear much nowadays -- chintzy.
Probably because it's not Politcally Correct to offend chintz, or Mario Buatta.)
And since I'm a sucker for Majolica, and Majolica-type wares . . . a chunky pitcher.
Not old -- from the 1990s I think. But great color and vintage style.
What kind of flower do you think this is? Dogwood? Magnolia?
There are buds on the front of the pitcher. Any clues?
Well, as that little cream colored, carved Dollar Tree pumpkin
in front of the Giant Mr. Turkey Centerpiece says -- Give Thanks!

Off now through the rain, for brunch in New Brunswick with daughter Anne.
Hmmm . . . there's a Goodwill down there, too. -- Cass
