Setting Up for Potluck
Maybe I always forget drinks (I do), but at least I have a lot, a lot of plates.
(And some recent good pot luck at the thrift store--witness the copper canister holding silverware. I now possess both the sugar and the flour containers.)

I laughed hard at this one. SO relate. I tend to forget items some people might consider critical like beverages or whatnot. Details, details. But hey, I always have pretty plates and the napkins match lol.
do you have a lot of glasses too? I love potlucks, but I wish most of them could use non-disposables like yours!
We're the only family that still uses real plates and silverware, but I use plastic cups - too many broken in the past (it makes the guests feel bad and that's not what I want to feel when they're just here to visit) Love your canister - such a pretty luster!
I love the green bowl also. My mother had a set of nesting bowls just like the green one. I am sure the potluck was a huge hit and lovely for the eyes too.
Love the copper!! And the pun!
I think I remember a past post about these dishes. I think you found them in a junky store and had to dig some of them out of the ground?
I stopped into a place like that in Virginia about 18 years ago. I found 10 ironstone plates with blue flowers around the rim, and yes, some of mine were under some dirt! Best dishes I've ever had and have not broken a single one yet. Now I'll probably break one since I said that!
I've been seeing a ton of copper items in our thrift stores, too. Must be a new trend?
Wow! I didn't know you were back at it. Thank you! I missed your blog and have learned a lot from you.
Pretty picture!
I'd love to know what food items you had at your potluck, too....
so glad you're blogging again Anna!
We stopped using paper plates after living on a moutain that did not have a trash collecting service, we had to take our own. This helped us learn to be 'green' before it was envogue! I recently purchased a whole stack of dishes from a hospital that was replaced by a newer building. I got them specifically for this purpose, potlucks and parties!
Love the plates! Homer Laughlin? Would you mind sharing the pattern?
P.S. You've come to mind as I've been enjoying a Grace Livingston Hill re-read binge. ;-)
Plates are by Shenango and don't have a name, just that perfect green border.
