Downtown Montavello, there was a antique store. Well, of course we had to stop there! :) This owner had the most impressive collection of glassware, crystal and china I have ever seen. It was almost overwhelming.
But, to my great surprise, there it was...
My punch bowl.
I have been looking for this particular punch bowl for 2 years now. No one has it. It is a Fostoria bowl in the cubist pattern. I had seen it in person once, and that was at a church shower. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it.
I also couldn't believe my ears when I heard the price. $495.00. He'd give me a deal at $425.00.
So I had to leave it there. But, I took a picture of it the next day so I could remember it. Can you see it through the window?
Rick and Brooke met us for dinner at the Cheesecake Factory on Sat night. I ate the Firecracker Salmon appetizer. It is my favorite. We ate outside, partly because of the enormous crowds, and partly because I LOVE to eat outside. The weather was great and the company was better.

I agree, the header is just wonderful.
Oh, I looove the Cheesecake Factory, I never can pick just one piece of cheesecake.
so happy you spent some real quality time together :) and love the header!
HI Kristi, Sounds like you had a wonderful birthday and vacation. The pictures are great. The new header is the best yet. I just love beach pictures. But the picture of the punch bowl through the window, I couldn't see enough to tell what the pattern name is. If you know, I'll be glad to look for you when I go to the mountains in the fall.Also, check eBay. sometimes you can luck up on something there. My mother has the Americana pattern from Fostoria. Very classic. I love to antique, especially for glassware.
The kids are adorable!!
Love to you all,
Ms. Donna
