Welcome to Show and Tell Friday! A nice neighbor of mine that has never read my blog or never been in my apartment saw this soup tureen at an antique store bought it for me! He's only walked by my apartment before but he thought it looked like something I might like.
I'm on a main walkway so everyone can see in! I told him I feel like I live in a fishbowl so on my birthday he gave me a fishbowl with gold fish! They lasted about a week...I'm not good with keeping those alive and honestly although it was a nice gesture, I thought my goldfish days were long gone now that my kids are grown!
As you can see from my photo below I collect white soup tureens!
I wanted to put this one in with the others in my blue cabinet but it's too big! I'll always find a place for a new soup tureen though!
Now I think I'll have a soup party for some of my nice neighbors!
Thanks to all of you that join in on Show and Tell Friday every week and thanks to all of you who leave such nice comments!

What a great story. I love that he had peeked into your place often enough to know what you liked. How funny! Maybe he was trying to catch a glimpse of YOU?!! Have a wonderful weekend- xo Diana

ReplyDeleteI agree that it sounds like he likes you a lot. But I sure wonder why you don't put up lace curtains for privacy!
