The other day I decided to get out all my saucers without their cups.
I wanted to try and take an ariel view photo in the light of an early morning.
It's not like I was bored or had nothing to do, but sometimes
I get an idea in my head and simply have to try it out.
Further in my defense for this seeming waste of time, if I don't do something
creative every so often, I just don't feel so well.
While my creative juices were trying to stir, I got it in my head to
try an undershot of this stack of saucers.
That was harder than I thought.
This shot plays tricks with my eye, especially the front yellow and white saucer.
It and the others look inverted, or a better way to explain it, puffed up from the underside.
I do enjoy my eclectic collection of cups and saucers.
As you might guess, each one has a story to tell.

You have quite a collection of saucers, Dotsie! I agree it can be fun to play with both our dishes and our camera. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed with your collection and creativity!!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
You surely do have quite a collection. I have a few that I love, but not what you would call a collection. Maybe we all should choose one of or favorites and tell the story behind it...might be a good meme for someone to start. Not me, but someone... ;o))
ReplyDeleteDotsie,
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful! I have moments like this too.
Carol
I love your collection. I know the feeling of wanting to bring out the hidden away things and do something creative. Now, let's have a tea party! :)
ReplyDeleteXO,

Podso,
ReplyDeleteOh! How lovely, dear friend!!! I'd love for you to do a series on each cup and sacuer with its own story...or maybe a grouping of like cups and saucers...or...
I DO understand what you mean when you say you get an idea in your head and you have to 'play it out'! Lovely post...intriquing photos!!!
Fondly,
Pat
This sounds like something I might have done. Now that you've done it, I don't have to, of course. =D I like the undershot of the plates.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to take time to play. I know what you mean about taking some time to be creative - it's a necessity for me, too. Fulfills something in me.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of photographing your saucers. They are so pretty.
Well I just love that you spent time taking pictures of saucers. They came out great!
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE the header!!
This is an interesting percpective.
ReplyDeleteA fun idea! I love your new header!
Cute idea! It's fun to get the goodies out and see them! You also get to see all your tastes in one big show!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon! I know I have lots of days I feel so run down and others I'm on top. I guess it's an age thing!
I love saucers and your photos are so much fun. Great collection!
ReplyDeleteVery creative! What a pretty collection. I would love to hear the stories.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking this to Let's Dish!
Loving ALL THOSE PLATES!! Wow, I am totally impressed darling Podso, great collection! You are very creative too. Thanks for your lovely visit to see my mom's things. Mother is 82 and has many pretty things I can still have some day to share with my two daughters. Hugs,

Wow! Lovely collection!...Christine
ReplyDeleteAren't those saucers all so pretty??!! Maybe we'll find out the rest of the story one day!!
ReplyDeleteLovely dishes
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty collection of saucers - I'd love to see them all with their cups one day.
ReplyDeleteAs is so often the case, you and I were on the same wavelength, as on Monday I hand washed and dried 24 lovely china tea cups and saucers after Lillypad's shower, given by her bridesmaids and friends. I really enjoyed looking at each pair in my collection, all gifts from my own showers.
Beautiful dishes and if I had my druthers, I would pluck that Robin's eggs coloured dish right away;')
ReplyDeleteI love the photos, but I really wish I knew the history of each piece. What a beautiful and eclectic collection! Thank you for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting shots! Love all the china of course. And your new header is so cute!!
ReplyDeleteHi Dotsie
ReplyDeleteI guess you do a lot of mixing and matching to make use of your saucer collection.
There sure are some pretty patterns.

What a beautiful collection and a modern twist on photgraphing them. I know exactly where you are coming from with the creative thing. I like going to bed at night feeling like I created something beautiful and photgraphed and wrote about it. Making a little history I suppose.

This reminds me of that book, "Dish: 813 Colorful, Wonderful Dinner Plates"!!! This is the true meaning of "playing in the dishes"!!! It's nice to take a look at what you have every so often, and even more fun if you take an artistic look like this! Enjoy your weekend, and I hope you get to play some more!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful flying saucers! I love looking at china and your variety is wonderful to view.
ReplyDeleteLove the "Solemn Joy", Dotsie.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! I found you at With a Grateful Heart. Was going to add you to my sidebar list of daily reads but it says you don't have a "feed" so I wouldn't get updates. Didn't know if you knew about this, but thought I'd mention it since I'd love to keep up with you :) Thanks for sharing all the beauty and joy. Hugs ~ Mary
ReplyDeletethere is nothing i like to see more than a STACK of saucers! ;}
