Isn't this a beautiful plate? The pink roses are amazing! Mary Stark, a dear friend of my Mom's, was an artist. She painted china as well as anything that didn't move. I had always admired her work and was delighted to be able to bring some of her treasures to my home. Both ladies have passed on, but they're not forgotten.
The Lladro figurine of the puppy and kitty playing around the table was a gift from my DH. Isn't this precious? I love this piece!

Hi Diane, :)
Thanks for coming by my TT post. You're just the kindest friend.
I found the floral jar last week at Marshalls and decided the colors were great for our DR.
I cleared a spot above the china hutch and it works great as an accent.
We are about to break down and make the pumkin cookies again. LOL!
They are just so awesome...
