The Poet and I celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary recently. Its funny. It seems like such a short time ago that we stood face to face captivated by each other's eyes and promised our whole lives to each other. And yet at the same time, it seems we've been together forever! In reality we've spent well over half our lives in this commitment.
This year our calendars were both very full. So rather than going on a trip for our anniversary, we simply had a nice lunch together and walked down to a local antique store to look around a bit. Right up front there was a stack of dishes just like the ones we got when we were married. Denby Seville Stoneware. We never did get very many of these dishes and just a few years later, they were discontinued. I have never seen even one piece of it in an antique store or a thrift store or at a garage sale. This is the absolute first.
We got the collection at an incredible price and there were even some fun extras that I have always wanted. The funny thing was we never even discussed whether we were going to buy them. We just walked in, saw them, and both knew instantly that we would definitely be getting them. 
I ALWAYS wanted this beautiful teapot!!!
And a SERVING BOWL! I'm sooo excited!
This color is so versatile. It looks beautiful with Fall decor. But the softness and the hint of very pale blue allows these plates to coordinate well with just about any decor you wish to use to creatively compliment them.
What surprises have you had lately to remind you of the good things in your life?
