Do you remember that last month I showed you some beautiful things that Lorrie, one of my blog readers sent me? Well, she sent me more beautiful things! When I came home Wednesday night all happy with my double soup tureen jackpot there was a package waiting for me. How good can one day get? Really? And how did I suddenly become such a lucky person? Actually I've always been really lucky except in love. Anyway...look at these beautiful things. Lorrie and I email back and forth a lot because we love the same things. She's now got me hooked on Cambridge Glass and I've been bad and bidding on some on eBay. I told Lorrie she's a bad influence on me. She told me that I'm a bad influence on her! Haha! I have yet to win a bid but I may keep trying!
She sent me two Cambridge glass sugar and creamer sets. It's hard to photograph the beautiful etched pattern on them. If you click on the photo to enlarge it, you can see more detail! They are gorgeous!
She also sent me a lot of hand painted plates! These will be moving into my hutch this weekend!
Did you notice I put my soup tureens in the blue armoire in the background?
Oops the cherries are upside down! I didn't notice that when I took the photo!
She also sent me another sterling ladle. GORGEOUS!!!
Thank you Lorrie! I love them all!!! You are such a generous person!!!

WOw what a friend lorrie is and what beautiful gifts. Have a great weekend.
What a generous person Lorrie is!! I love the Cambridge glass..is that pressed glass? So pretty and perfect for your home.
The plates are gorgeous!! I love the ladle too, she certainly picked out gifts that are perfect for your home. You had an amazing day!
How wonderful to have such a thoughtful and generous friend! The handpainted plates look like they are from the French "Limoges" Co. A dear friend of mine just gave me two similar plates last week ~ I just love them!! The thing about being handpainted is that no two are the same. The floral motifs are just so dreamy-looking ~ beautiful pieces!
Karin
Wow what a friend, will she adopt me? Today I was telling my friend that some bloggers are like family. It sounds that definitely applies to you! Loved those plates, GORGEOUS!
cindy,

Those hand painted plates are beautiful. My cousin did beautiful china painting. I have an ornament that she painted me when I was a teenager, I wish I had some of her plates. She also painted dolls.
The creamer and sugar are beautiful too. I am glad you are lucky....send some of that luck to Missouri :)
Cindy,
These are all FABULOUS! Lorrie is an awesome friend! I love the plates!
Keep that positive thinking going, it really seems to be working for you!

Cindy, the china painted plates are THE BEST I love china painting and the rose plate and the plum plate are very nice. Does this woman need another friend? lol :). TTFN
I am going to pretend that your hutch full of lovelies is my hutch, so keep posting those beautiful pictures so I can pretend it is all mine! What a lucky day for you to get all those goodies..you should have bought a lottery ticket that day!
OMG!! Look at all those wonderful vintage pieces. Love the ladle. That's gorgeous. I hope you have a great weekend.
What nice gifts for you, Cindy!
What beautiful vintage pieces! Your friend is a real sweetie!
I believe you are the luckiest person I know. And I have a feeling that you will one day be lucky in love also. I was, after a very long time of being single. One day there he was! In the meantime thanks for sharing your wonderful treasures.
Lorri
What great stuff!! I love hand painted plates, and those are very nice ones. Have a great weekend playing with your new toys!! Sally
What a great friend Lorrie is. I have never heard of Cambridge Glass, very pretty.
Sorry it has been so long since I've been visiting! I got way behind after I went back to work.
You sure hit the mother lode here! Those are such beautiful pink glass creamer and saucers! And I love all those porcelain painted plates. Those are my passion.

What beautiful gifts. You are so lucky to have such a special friend who has such wonderful taste. The sugar and creamer are just beautiful. The etching is so pretty and the hand painted plated are just lovely. Congratulations. Hugs, Marty
Looks like someone's been doing something right! ;o)
Very beautiful things. I've never heard of Cambridge glass. I looked at the Replacements site. They have pictures of the various styles - scroll down to the bottom of the page. It, also, comes in colors. It's really beautiful and expensive.

Can't believe your luck at the Salvation Army. I just posted about how expensive our Salvation Army is. Yesterday I went there and they wanted $25.00 for a used crock pot. Your finds were wonderful. Blessings...Sherry

I've been collecting flowered plates to hang in a grouping in our guest room and I think I have the same plate as the one that is the first picture in your second set.
Beautiful surprises!
How generous and sweet that you receive so many wonderful gifts from your loyal readers and cyber-friends!! The glass she sent you is gorgeous!! I had never heard of it before either, but I see why you and she both love it so much!! The plates are very pretty, too! Have a wonderful weekend!!

Very, very pretty gifts! How lovely to have such a generous friend! Love the Cambridge Glass!
Cindy, Your gifts are lovely, but.....I need that last plate, it has puple on it or that's how it looks in the picture. Well no matter what the colors, I love it.
Bloggers are such sweet people! Your gifts are beautiful.
Ginger
Cindy, Your new gifts are just beautiful and the "givers" are beautiful people too. So generous. I find one of the most wonderful aspects of blogging is making new friends. Now, about that "lucky in love" comment you made - forget about it. Don't think of it at all and one day you will turn a corner and there he will be! You'll be sure to let us know, right? Enjoy your days, Pat
Hi Cindy
I've never heard of Cambridge glass but it's beautiful. I hope we don't end up bidding against each other on ebay without even knowing it!
These are lovely.
Nancy
I like those plates alot. I would probably never serve something on them out of fear to ruin the handpainting by washing them too often! And I've never seen a ladle like that either! Too cute!
Love the sterling ladle especially. Love visiting your blog and find much inspiration and wonderful eye candy.
Blessings ~ Eileen @ Star's Fault
