We have started the summer season very early this year. Our summer house is a great place to get away from the city, even if it's not summer yet. It was a delight to meet my brown and white transferware again as well. So far it's a small collection (in use), but I allways keep an eye out for more plates! I have posted some pictures of some of the plates. Enjoy!
I also have a black and white saucer that is hanging on the wall. It's marked "Cairo" on the back and I think it is very charming on the striped wallpaper.
I use all my pates. The summer house is small and I have not much room for storing a collection. The best way to appreciate the plates are to use them I think. If one breaks I will be sad, but then again it's just a plate.
that is a nice point of view to have. sometimes i think 'what am i saving this for??' better to use what you love all the time, than to hide it away and only see it occasionally.
ReplyDeletethanks for the reminder. :)
Eline,
ReplyDeleteOf course I love your collection. The first plate is Royal Cauldon Nature I think? I love the Cairo saucer....especially the border.
Thanks for showing us part of your collection!
So very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI think it's so great that you enjoy your collection by using them! And why not? Enjoy your summer place. Sounds wonderful.

ReplyDeleteI agree, the best way to enjoy things are to use them.
