Dishes, Dishes, Everywhere!

One of my FAVORITE things about October (I know it is January...), besides Halloween which I love, is the McHenry Mansion Tablesetting Fundraiser in Modesto, California.  I go EVERY year.  And every year I take my camera and click away.  Individuals and organizations sign up to do a table.  Each sets a table according to a theme that they have chosen.  Some are cute, some elegant, some jaw-dropping....but all share the passion and joy of tableware!  Here are a few pictures from last October.  Maybe later I'll post some of my all-time favorites from throughout the years.
