Saddling up Maxine, the shiny blue minivan,
and heading for eastern Pennsylvania this
beautiful Saturday, lured by the siren call of these:
Yes, I know.
"Hello, my name is Cass, and I am a Dish-A-Holic."
Where have we heard this before? Oh yeah. Right here.
Well, golly.
In my defense, it is Wedgwood Cathay china, in mint condition,
and it's service for about a billion, plus extras.
And I was the only bidder on eBay.
This means I'll be culling more china from my own collections, to make room for the 145 pieces
of Wedgwood, at less than a dollar a piece, I'll be toting home today.
Yes, Howard knows. He's going with me.
He thinks he'll get a chance to visit a Pennsylvania casino while we are there.
He has a rich and varied fantasy life.

Meanwhile,
if you want to see the ultimate result of rustic country French
decorating, the pinnacle of shabby chic-style decor,
It's a Dutch photographer's photographic
tour of abandoned European farm houses.
It's eerie, and kind of fascinating.
So how nuts am I that my first thought, on seeing this picture, was:
Wow, that's a really nice table!
And now, don't blame me for your nightmares.
After all, it is October.
Boo! -- Cass
