At a local thrift store recently...
... I found a pretty creamer and matching egg cup.
These two pretty pieces weren't perfect...
...they each had a small hairline.
Imperfection doesn't bother me.
In fact...it makes things more personal...
more authentic in a way...
I'm not perfect either.
I love the pretty blue floral decoration against the glossy white china.
There were other larger, matching pieces in the thrift store that day.
...but they were perfect and commanded a higher price.
I am content with my two little slightly less than perfect pieces.
...Just the right size for a small bouquet...
Just sitting here waiting for friends and family to arrive...
The candles are lit...
...the music is playing...
...refreshments are ready...
It is going to be a fun weekend!
Hope it is fun for you too...
:)
Have a beautiful time! Gorgeous photos! ~Lulu
