Collection

Pin It

My weakness....dishes.  I think I inherited it from my mother.  I can't explain it.  The red polka dot bowls were my grandmother's.  The pastels have just been collected here and there (love those custard cups!).  Teapots....oh my, I used to have so many more.  I had to cut back, especially after moving a few times in the last five years.

Then, there are the turquoise and robin's egg blue items I am starting to add.  I got the sugar bowl and s/p shaker set from my step-grandmother when I was just a teenager and hadn't yet begun my dish obsession back then.  I found the Frankoma honey jar last year at Goodwill for a steal!  Of course, I already had a honey jar (see below), so now I have started a whole new collection THERE! 



And then......


Then.....there is the small Cameoware collection.  I know, I know.....but they are so PRETTY!



Of course, then we have the blue/white collection.  I've had this obsession for a long, looooong time.  My first weakness.  This is only a smattering of what I've collected over the years.  I just don't have the room right now.  The rest is all tucked away safely until I have more space.



And, of course, I couldn't resist this cute little blue and white birdie clock!



LOVE those custard cups!


I failed to mention I just obtained a 4-piece place setting of robin's egg blue stoneware to replace my everyday blue willow dishes.  Hey, they were only 20 bucks!
