Show and Tell Friday

Join us over at Kelli's for more Show & Tell. Kelli is showing her beautiful canisters. I wish I had them :-)

I love rose designs. I don't have as many as I would like. My photography isn't the best today, but they are better viewed larger... just right click and choose to open in a new window.

The trays are about 2½ inches at the longest part. I don't know what the last two were used for. I just like them :-)

I'm a Salt & Pepper Shaker addict... uh... collector. I don't really look for who makes the shaker sets; I just buy what I like.

I did a quick search this morning on this set. It has no markings, but I learned that is a Currier & Ives by Royal China.

This set has no markings either. I did a quick search and couldn't come up with anything. I bought this set because it reminded me of a set that Mama has of a cow.

I will probably share more of them as time goes on... I have lots and lots of them ☺ I've had to stop collecting because I can't find a place to put them. Time to figure out where I can put another cabinet ☺

Sausage!

Frank's brother gave us some venison (deer) meat. Frank made some great tasting sausage with part of the meat.

I know... deer are a beautiful animals and so are cows. Unfortunately I just can't bring myself to be a vegetarian.

Doctor Again --

Okay... you can skip this part if you want. Things about the doctor are mainly for me.. just a way to vent a little. Sometimes writing it down makes it seems less than it is ☺

You know you have been to see the doctor too often when everybody knows you by name in the office.

I received a Toradol injection and corticosteroid injection. A MRI has been ordered, but I have to wait until the referral goes through and that probably won't happen until the first part of next week. I hate the referral part of our insurance... it can take a while sometimes.

The doctor now agrees with me that it is my neck causing the problem... the C7 - T1 area. I'm hoping the injections and the Medrol and a couple of other meds I'm on will at least dull the pain and let me get some rest. It is hard to sleep when when your shoulder and neck are burning and stinging.

Okay that part is done ☺ Deep breath and live life.

I think we lived in Va. Bch. VA at the time.. I probably purchased it in Gloucester, VA or perhaps the Richmond, VA area. It is NORITAKE, MADE IN JAPAN, and has the green wreath mark with the M in the middle. It is made before 1941... I can't really find out anything about them. On eBay I espied a creamer with the pattern for $28.00 and a sugar bowl with the pattern for $35.00. I assure you that I paid under $15.00 for this set... that is my limit on salt & pepper sets :-) I think that this set probably had a tray that they nestled in. I just love the pattern

Note to thy self: Stay away from eBay.. you ain't got no more places to put those purty thangs!
