Yep, yep. Will be fine. Especially if you do something drapey and floaty
with it. :)

I just Knew you had something perfect!!! I have a really gorgeous
red/orange paisley pashmina my DMIL gave me for Christmas. The I have a
white embroidered shawl. And I found a black rayon pashmina and a blue
paisley rayon pashmina at Hancock's of all places not too long ago. I am
now set. One or the other will go with just about everything I own. ;) I
don't know what it is about them, but when I wear one, I feel like a 6'
tall size 2. (with a 20 year old butt too!) lol I guess because they are
just so elegant to me. Who knows.

It's already made up. Very floaty, long loose sleeves, and
I have a knit silk tank-top to wear under it.

The one I bought in NY has a woven paisley design, very
subtle tone-on-tone.

I wore mine to the River Cafe in NY for my DD&DSIL's 25th
wedding anniversary celebration. Very posh, I felt so grown
up! ;-)

Speaking of feeling so grown up..... A while back, I told my DMIL that if
she found a set of china on any of her prowls through the flea markets, and
it was reasonably priced, that would make a wonderful birthday present.
I've never had china. Corel yes. lol Anyway, I just mentioned it to her
in passing and didn't think about it anymore.
Well!! Guess what I got for my birthday!!!! She found me a service for
TWELVE in the Noritake unnumbered Bancroft pattern. You can see pictures of
the pattern here http://www.replacements.com/webquote/N__BANC.htm She
said it just looked like me. ;) It's a pattern from the early 1930's. So
it really fits with my taste. It's just the basic set, dinner plate,
dessert/bread & butter, cup, saucer. But for 12!!! It was only missing
one plate and 4 cups. She ordered me a replacement plate and 4 fruit
bowls. ;) Those came fedex the same day they gave me my present. (they
were leaving town before my birthday so I got it early.) How's that for
good timing??
I told her I felt like a really big girl now since I had grown up dishes.
lol I was just thrilled with it. :) Did I marry well or what? I really
do have great in-laws.

That's beatiful! You'll have so much fun dressing it up or
down with white or colored clothes, flower arrangements,
candles...

Thank you so much. How did you know I love setting the table to look oh so
pretty? ;) Maybe not every single day, but it's fun to do for something
special. Even if the special is only "all four of us have time to eat
dinner this Thursday." lol Too I have several of DH's grandmother's table
linens. Some she and her sister crocheted or embroidered. Fun stuff.

I will gladly take second. You have such wonderful, loving stories of
yours. Second to them is a good place to be.;)
