Welcome to Show and Tell Friday hosted by Kelli at Theres No Place Like Home.
I hope you enjoy my Show and Tell today.
And then when you done go over and check out Kelli and the others.
Today my S&T is part of something I have been wanting to show for a while.
Because I have had camera difficulties I have been able to take any photo's.
And so I have resorted to be resourceful.
Before I share my S&T please let me tell you about my new best friend it is my printer/scanner.
It now ranks with duck tape,zip lock bags and Dr. Pepper. The following S&T photo's aren't great but they are here compliments of my scanner.
So without further ado here's my Show and Tell...
First is part of a birthday present my sister gave me last year. It was a
set of dishes. Here is one plate.
They are 8 matching plates. A cowboy hat shaped dip and chip bowl and two other boot shape serving pieces. I have set my table with 4 plates and some pretty candles and glasses and a centerpiece that I like.
Here is a photo of the napkins at each place setting.
There are two lacey napkins and two that are really old white linen or cotton I am not sure which. They have some tatting (I think) on the edge. I just think they are pretty.
I walk by the table everyday and I get to see them. We don't actually use the ones with the tatting because they are really old and fragile. I wash every know and then.
(Home Sanctuary challenge in August...wash linens...see Rachel at Company girls)
Oh the napkin rings. I almost forgot. Can you see them in the photo? They are cowboy hats. I just love them and to tell you the truth I don't remember where I got them. I think maybe a friend gave them too me. I am ashamed I don't remember.
I hope you have enjoyed this resourceful Show and Tell and please drop in anytime. The table is always set.
Come by tomorrow and hear a song I have planned to share for Then Sings My Soul and
don't forget my guest writer Daisywill be sharing about another new friend. I know you will be Happy to meet Daisy's friend.

Very special design for plates ! Looks very nice !
Yea for scanners!!! What a neat dish design and cute napkin rings and pretty napkins!!!! Thank you for going to so much trouble to share!
Very cute! I like western stuff. I'm glad you still joined in spite camera problems :-)
I wondered if you were from Texas, too. I grew up there, and that does look very Texan. :-) My dad would have loved it. He used to ride in rodeos in his early days and loved all things Western.
I love those plates and napkin holders.I really want to find something cute like this for my table. Love that you used the vintage napkins. They are beautiful!
Great idea using the scanner. :-)
What a unique combination! Reminds me of "leather and lace!" Very nice!
I had camera problems a few months ago and I understand having to be resourceful, you did a great job coming up with this!

How cute is all that for your show and tell? The lacy napkins are very pretty. The edging looks like it is not tatting, but it is very pretty. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to have to get a scanner!!! :)
Great job using the scanner!! whoo hoo! Your plates are just wonderful and very Texan!! Love the cowboy look. Now nothing is better than having a perty lace napkin to blot your mouth on! Yours are lovely!!!!

What a lovely collection! The nice thing about a scanner is that it does allow a bigger resolution to click onto. The edging on your hanky isn't tatting but it is either crocheted or needlelace. It's hard to tell which without it being flattened out but tatting is rings and chain and this has none of those characteristics. If it is crocheted, it's certainly with a very very fine thread!
