I was at a lovely little brunch at Robyn's the other day, and this time I remembered to take along my camera. She has a large built in cupboard in her dining room and had these dishes from her husband's mother nicely displayed. Her mother in law died this past year and I know these dishes mean a lot to Robyn. I couldn't help but take a few photos; I love green so much.
I've been seeing postings in "blogland" about where you keep all your dishes. That must have been in the back of my mind when I opened one of the dining room cupboards (with a glass door, mind you) and snapped a photo of the beauty inside. ONLY because we're such good friends did I know I could do that. And post this. :-)
And I'm connectingto Mosiac Monday at Dear Little Red House. If you go to her blog you'll see some beauty!
I love the ivy! I think someone else has done a tablescape with these as well.

My mother in law had the exact same dishes..She died of alzheimer's but I don't know what happened to the dishes. I think she had already sold them. I've eaten some good food on those dishes. thanks for sharing and bringing back those memories for me.
ReplyDeletePS Little One sure is cute.
Very pretty dishes! They would be a lot of fun to set the table with!!!
ReplyDeleteLoving these dishes!!!
ReplyDeleteThe ivy on the dishes almost looks hand painted.
ReplyDeleteNice to have a good friend that will let you poke around her kitchen.
Such pretty dishes!
ReplyDeleteI had dishes almost the same when I first got married, years ago. It was a favorite of mine and I still love the pattern. Lovely dishes:)
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the ivy dishes!! She could get started tablescaping with us now : ))
ReplyDeleteI also like the color green and thsoe are really pretty dishes.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen those ivy dishes for years - my aunt had them and I always loved to eat from them.
ReplyDeleteLovely dishes, I love the nature theme with the green leaves. Great photos and mosaic.
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time I thought I was the only person in this universe who had a "thing" for dishes. I am so happy to have met so many kindred spirits and you are clearly one. Love those ivy motif dishes and your mosaic!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen that lovely ivy pattern before...it was a treat for my eyes. Dishes make a wonderful topic for photographs...I could look at them all day long; they are like art!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely dishes, and it I think it is so special for your friend to have them to remember her mother in law by.
ReplyDeleteAren't they lovely dishes. I am sure she would be flattered that you thought enough of them to post them for us. Valerie
ReplyDeleteLike shoes, a girl can't have too many dishes, your friend has some fun dinnerware!
ReplyDeleteWhat great mosaics and I love those dishes. I have ivy china too.
ReplyDeleteRobyn certainly has lots of nice dishes and glassware too. I love to see what other people have in their china cabinets.
