YES, I Bought More Stuff


I had to buy enough knobs for the rest of my kitchen cabinets anyway, sooo... Emperor will get an apple baker and Elf will get a little mug (elf-sized!) with stars on it. And I bought a tile in "Amazon Flower" pattern to keep my pop or coffee on by the computer. And I bought three new "flowering peacock" mugs; see them in the cabinet picture? I finally said when I put everything away that I think I'm really done ordering all the pottery I "need." I think I'm done!
*
Emperor gasped when he heard that. There are several other styles that we don't have, did you know that?? Yes. He has the catalogue to prove it. D seems to think it is all very silly anyway; he won't touch the pottery. And besides, none of it matches. (I think it matches in an eclectic sort of fun way, but ohh well.)
*
I served dinner with the old plates as I had gotten them out of the dishwasher, and why put things away only to take them out again?
Elf was very sad. He wanted to know if he had been a bad boy since he didn't get served on the POLISH POTTERY. Arg.

Here you see Elf eating some pizza with the pottery during a snack time. Emperor came bounding in and wanted a snack, too. Well... I'm loading the dishwasher in just a second, so you can have your chips in this paper bowl -

"WHAT??!" His eyes about popped out of his head. "You mean I have to use ORDINARY DISHWARE?"
*
Um... do YOU know other little boys who like to discuss Polish pottery patterns? Outside Poland, I mean. Or maybe I am really, really behind the times and other people's kids do this sort of thing and I just don't know about it. You know... baggy pants and dish patterns being the "in" thing with the hep-cat set. Or maybe the groovy kids like Fiesta ware better. :)

  1. I love the pottery! I am the same way about yarn. My son will sit for entire minutes in a row and ask me questions about fiber and spinning and knitting...it's cute how they want to participate in our interests.

    Off topic - how is your weather?

  2. It's all gorgeous. I have been working on a now belated birthday present for you that will match your kitchen. Mayb'e I'll get it in the mail next week. I'm with Elf--I wouldn't eat off of anything else!

  3. Ahaha, I just love my dishware, so stylish and attractive ;) I think paper bowls are boring though ... I would probably complain too, lol. I think your cabinet looks the same ... Didn't see any new dishes. Just sayin ....

  4. See the middle two cups with flowers on them? Those are new. G cannot drink from them as the handles are too small for his hands. Aww.

  5. I just LOVE your pottery... I have only found one place here in New Zealand that stocks it. So sad.

Bringing Garbage Home

Some people up the street were throwing this table away. It was in pretty bad shape and one of the legs was off. I've glued the leg back...
