Some people are all about purses and shoes. Not me! I’m all about dishes and place mats.
Well this week I got new serving dishes and these are the best kind, recycled dishes. My brother and his family were here for a shoooooooorrrrttttt visit -sob- and Sharon brought me some new serving dishes. Two plates are from her mom and one the Chinese plate is from my mom’s cupboard.
I love the pink rose
This plate shows off squares nicely I got to try them both out at a high tea on Saturday serving 18.
This was mom’s plate. Sharon said mom had two in the cupboard, so Sharon kept one and gave me the other, wasn’t that nice. It is different and we both know mom very well and a special person had to have given her these plates as mom was a Petite Fleur sort of gal and this wasn’t her style, but it is ours now. I’ll think of Sharon each time I see this plate now.
Got to run, guests are here for breakfast. Then start baking squares for my red hat ladies tomorrow, they are coming for a tea party.
xo,

Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for such a lovely time! We can’t stop gushing about all the fun we had and a big part of that was due to you and Guy. I’ll be posting the pictures from our Afternoon Tea to my blog and will let you know when they are up. Can’t wait to visit again!
Your very welcome Meagan, I’m glad you had a good time.
Enjoy your dishes, I’m sending a few goodies with Vicky!
Oh! You need to get together with my friend Jerrilea… she is a dish fanatic! Those are lovely!
