And I am betting you will recognize some of the photos because they have become my signature… <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0K1CJ1QIBk9WarNhkYqs_z0PemfOf53opOYQAwWUuLDMD7ZGQWqDQPg5a8rgUXdtzEMg8HOhncWWxAomNlucz3uKUjT8l2uoUwRbP5M593l3LH0aPsESIx1Gcn2eXy2xGxr0YeVYzmUdi/s1600-h/IMG_5477a%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_5477a" border="0" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGsrHkNgC6uA0QWi5Tnmze42QCnoTtVcq21a467lx5aV3pD30Y76LnNx_wB34xKgm8txrAjka2YI6AoYPaW5gP5HjYFevlLXXtc8A86RnRoFqtwyWuoVWxxdqhE97YRSIazHIGfoMsfnzJ/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_5477a" width="644" /></a>…my blue and white plates topped with green pears! They were taken in March, 2009…when I had only been blogging for about 4 months. The afternoon sun was pouring in through the Palladian window, creating interesting shadows. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHA_CYbFXVgx_EzCRI99oVFuB0H95wzIqDo7c3FXmSLyivJMmYjgeATRtdqOcaox-nSJvE6AgPyvCrzVo53Kf4sr-zzR8HMHAKDnHZXRaOhS9W86sdDLU9ZOekFpwBFLApbXiabGq53pun/s1600-h/IMG_5480%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_5480" border="0" height="772" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJXsdNy6Y8zmly09nI5r1pxpZ2u2uJg4h7WYrUI5YWslMyoM_BfgM_rU7PkrDmPyV4hCjoiLdPaPoyr-c7lb-nwjM7XFnTSjoRUV5BvfqqlFvsFRNOVFhA2MpVWhapGHTQ9GpSMIUD6hwt/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_5480" width="580" /></a>If you were blogging then, I am sure you will recognize the bunny on a stick! lol They were all the rage! I don’t think Pier One could keep them in stock. And…do you know that they still have them? Yep. I saw them again just the other day! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEYQUrGx47zbbnCdFkvuyvxmkHOYQdeBNXE9_AkHm8Tq39xWQ3YFKRkjrKL5fOAsJASxBBLaJh118MdsE2C9xHl1Rh_ooAxFJN1RIbwweHryqh4Tw2LEBiXJG9Lm2qHSn4PDFC22H1omDg/s1600-h/IMG_5556%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_5556" border="0" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh5zfc-jEKiHn-1hYvr8kF6twrV-DKm-u2JUMupt0BYUMUF15pxspeICmyW-YvbmrK4Rr7k8cUXBquXMRe4t2A33C-ndUM_KOrPgGXquEMxlsmJzgAkdTDiXHV7tV8HHQ6b0vYPZnp6UmS/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_5556" width="644" /></a> At the center, one of my favorites…my pumpkin-shaped tureen. I love those funny legs and the handles! And…peeking in from the left…those infamous Target birdie salt and pepper shakers that even got their own <a href="http://confessionsofaplateaddict.blogspot.com/2009/04/triple-postorthe-target-birdies-go.html">linky party!</a> (One of my favorite posts ever!) <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigTc88TPlS-7jKfVhsa64N6G9Na0-X56FHc_tQ187nm6Lrw8AAwtlsMo314MiNe8Tc5TcmUZtP-vPN5KYtHfSHC0d6nITlAC5H8qUl5n08AmwDIUbvt_sJVCQgwpQDeSAdEY5Yy4Cjf8TN/s1600-h/IMG_5511%25255B12%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_5511" border="0" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9eExBxdcs2pqzcT9cVrQA30vhziBlvOIHWRf5yCgNW49FAqpTMGQ-w1dlq7vl6sgFe914nPp5GlouUE75YufQJ61drQLbgt7vMdBlpP-wHHmfKlBqFairp4XMzSveEnPdfm8DRb63dwSh/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_5511" width="644" /></a> But my favorite photos were…and still are…of my wonderful pierced blue and white plates topped by spring green pears! You will recognize them from my header. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6elk0KvCwLN20Z23F4utZEZsf4FwlXajJ8vkW_dyjwJlIRJMSB14q-BR_9MPnUEx3gn1uNMccpU5-NGYnxw8ZQo7r8dOK8FELCckyyiXaXtWY0_TlB3Dnnj8mwu_OmJyditUr0rHFEdBa/s1600-h/IMG_5512%25255B12%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_5512" border="0" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfsT255eUe7aIKNRdAxV3zv40ohLy47BSNkzDviwCMZ0oIW6D6JShdGBvA5mFwXdjhLD9dysdRh5CAMAZoPATgJckcRrOJ-zONCHP_m3guRoZytvh5Pg-f0VGZ4BtA-7q-YQV7cxVubwq9/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_5512" width="644" /></a> Each one is different. I later found candlesticks to match this one. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtV3gJiMi5d7Bfu67k-ALUx0DhkZRCQt7Fl6KeuJYpedoaHsk4mKgqjWtwPsh-JH-VcFm_VEl_UM0xqNfVCrvVKKnTLXVgIL09RUyPV89TBx5qiwY2UALUXxxCD3jFFAEKfMwB0C-Xwfu9/s1600-h/IMG_5513%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_5513" border="0" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjORhU-3qKflAiXdG8XeEnKCfKk36QRmQmNuaQGw_JgGwKO13roGWM5wbUM6RvpdJo3h-AulG-LFL7SrO0fsuo12w2__RncR4UBqITYFuxDx5aYpGQz6S7nicgNjay7Wxv9O-DXHVsuq_4X/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_5513" width="644" /></a> I think this one is the prettiest because, unlike the others, the center is not white, but patterned. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEireiNLK2Ti-ejzWE0GAqotT6im7Y9K9xwE_Oyu476mFuYOTSub4pPFk6SSM-_-NDbPpqzT9rNAJiPzWM96Clt6c5y8B7pQl7G1UgYHmJjXvH8MxFEtVB7isV0heeGBY54YMh_hLLsFRasd/s1600-h/IMG_5514%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_5514" border="0" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifmcywyy_VBYeQ7ktHWtdlAj7QymTal5HPuKs2MB0JhT-tlSzLkmken2gZ2PLisiqDKuEUh9tYC517WbIbJaMmkOYYvIPU7ZHndWIh7z9_xBjGmEoX0aaD7s_Obq3l4-qv_7EqOe9zerwV/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_5514" width="644" /></a> However, this photograph is my all-time favorite. I love the effect of the shadows…creating a lacy pattern on the white plate underneath. Yes…this one is me…my avatar, the little photo image that represents me! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS2C6LueyOoOfHVS6AQ0_anmXhcAnCalqfNhnOBF3aoKdy-z4zxhARbmT7F86GGpLYsdSNZ6SaC7hr-PF09xdSMjjeAKC-1AvKvrf4Xelfpt04Z7MpgnM_pTkloKDgCMKGpazPV076YB67/s1600-h/IMG_5483%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_5483" border="0" height="451" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfSOCgK7_sKPHH8zGR50lu1HqcDfhPldJI1AwJBOi8Vl0Rr1balJTOrLmeKuzw04NMXSVVjLQilvAP11Al2ZMta1t40sS-hSAG68UUQUR-DHRUWaGSdAAbBQLYZRExaipRwJ_u4y5enrEj/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_5483" width="644" /></a> And finally…here’s a look at the whole tablescape, with the afternoon sun pouring in across the table, bringing back memories of an earlier spring day.
