Ready for Winter Table

After sitting in the dark for three hours last night, this week's Table for One is the perfect design. It features Betty Boop with her big umbrella to protect her from the rain and an emergency hand cranked radio for power failures. (Here in California, we are getting used to the idea of the electric company's mandatory rolling "safety" power outages to prevent fires - last night was just due to the weather but it was still uncomfortable. I should be grateful - it was only three hours and not three days like before.....)

Flatware is fun "Silver Tear" by Gourmet Settings

I love the footed soup bowl - "Fun Factory" by Waechtersbach

The luncheon plate is "Scarlett" Fiesta(ware)

Pat picked "Daffodil" Fiesta(ware) to bring in lots of color

The gigantic charger looks like it weighs a ton but it is surprisingly light - "Espana" by Tabletops Unlimited

Pat's favorite - simple glassware from the Dollar Tree

This is a great little radio/flashlight - it is a hand cranked solar power AM/FM radio and flashlight with battery and USB charging capabilities
