After a day out discovering (more on that tomorrow), I got all my cups and saucers out of the cupboards, washed them and rearranged them. It took me longer than anticipated, and half way through I regretted starting this exercise. Nevertheless, I kicked on, and am lying on the couch checking out the new set up.
I must admit, it was quite nice washing such pretty pieces. Each of them different, with a story all of their own. I love my pre-loved pieces, it's a shame I don't get to use them and admire them more often.
I'm beginning to think eating from a really beautiful plate is far more of an experience than eating from a plain white dinner plate. What say you?
I agree. I tend to use all of my white plates during winter then have a bit of a sort out and use all of my vintage wares for summer bbq's. So pretty...have sourced some lovely Ironstone made in New Zealand of late. Happy sorting!
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
ReplyDeleteI eat off my wedding china ;)
I say the same! For sure! On our caravan adventure I was tempted to bring plastic or metal plates but in the end opted for pretty china and boy oh boy am I pleased we did. They make me so happy.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I started spring cleaning and exactly half way through completely regretted it. I have quite got everything back together yet. Your plates are gorgeous! *s*
ReplyDeleteyes yes yes!
ReplyDeleteI say use them! No point waiting for the right time!!
ReplyDeleteYes, pretty plates are for eating off...and everything tastes better when eaten off a pretty plate!
ReplyDeleteYou mention that you make a fantastic Italian Spinach Pie...in your "about me". Have you shared the recipe on the blog? I'm a new reader. Would love the recipe.
