Last weekend at the family reunion one of my husband’s cousins brought a plate to share with everyone that was their grandmothers. My husband’s grandmother won this plate at some type of canning event (I didn’t catch all the details)
Even with the chip, I love the details…and a family treasure for the cousin who now owns it!
I recently decided to “collect” dishes and I try to add to the ones I have when I can. Most of the dishes I have are blue/white but I may have to add a few pink. Here are some pretty pink dishes that I like…..aren’t they beautiful?
Thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog and don't forget to visit Beverly’s blog How Sweet the Sound to see more pink!
Have a great weekend!

A very nice post for Pink Saturday Susan. The dishes are beautiful. How odd that you are starting to add pink to all of your blue and white, and lately I have been focusing on blue after years of adoring pink!! (Maybe not so odd. Maybe just tired of the same old thing!!)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!! :-)

Very pretty. My favorite is the single Rose. So elegant.
ReplyDeleteHappy PS! :)
What a beautiful treasure, chip and all.. Happy Pink Saturday. hugs ~lynne~
ReplyDeleteBeautiful plates Susan! ♥
ReplyDeleteI love the plates you have. Most of my life is surrounded by red, but I love pink also. I just loved the cottages so much on those dishes. Love the changes you have made on your blog. I hope to incorporate some of your ideas this weekend. Thanks for stopping by for a visit.

The pink plates are beautiful. The little platter is a treasure, even with the chip. Happy pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteSusan, I love those pink plates! I have blue and white dishes (love them)! And I also have dishes with pink flowers (love them)! LOL! I think a girl can't have too much china, so I say get them, girlfriend! ;-)
ReplyDeleteXO,

Thanks for stopping my blog recently! The eagles? There are actually five of them. I love your Pinks. I normally do a Pink Saturday post, but I forgot to inform Beverly, so I will skip it this week. Happy Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteYour top plate...would look just perfect in my pink cupboard that I posted last week!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like your plate collection is off to a great start!
I love all of the dishes, they are beautiful. I also want to start collecting dishes, my problem is storage space!!

ReplyDeleteHi Susan, I love the platter with the chip.. I have a huge Limoges platter....it has a chip, too, and I would not part with it for the world. I love the patterns on the pink plates. Although a favorite of mine is Blue Willow..but that is another day. Thank you for visiting my blog, best to you this week-end! Hugs
ReplyDeleteFunny, Susan...I've been looking at pink transferware lately, too. Maybe I'm all "blued" out! lol Nice post!...Debbie
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty choices! I love the single center rose, so simple and elegant. I'm not much of a pink girl, but these could change my mind lol. Kathy
ReplyDeleteLovely plates! I am a pink plate girl and I often feel the need to branch out - but the pinks just reel me back in!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE all of your beautiful plates! I will have to be on the lookout for some now too!

Happy "pink Saturday"

Your cousin's dish is special with those memories attached. Your dish collection is growing. Enjoy them. Thanks for sharing. Happy Pink Saturday.
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty plates. I love the 1st pink plate with the picture. Do you know where I could find them?
ReplyDeleteI do not have one thing that is pink. I think I need to start a collection.

Morning, Susan! Oh, that's a gorgeous old plate! Now I have some of the ones you're wanting.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely old plate. I love family heirlooms.
ReplyDeleteGathering plates for my table right now. Love your pink rose and the Johnson Brothers.
With the new house comes the opportunity to purchase new china. Pink & red is the theme.
I would love to set the table as a child when Mother had dinners.
Susan,
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday! Hope you are having a great day. I just adore beautiful plates like those. Oh I just can't resist them even though I don't have much more space to put them. Oh well! Those are just lovely. Hugs, Bobbi Jo

Happy Pink Saturday! I have a slight plate obsession too. I'll have to show them some Saturday. I think I might even have one that looks like your grandmothers.
ReplyDeleteLove the plate collection. Your grandmothers plate is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHappy PS
Kris
Lovely shots of the plates that "move" you! :)
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the plate from your family being chipped...but..the memories are still there...and I have come to the conclusion over the years...that even chipped things in life can be glorious!
Thanks for sharing :) (wonder what she canned that was so yummy?) LOL
Susan, Even with the chip the pink rose plate is so lovely! I collect red transferware china.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful plates in your photos!

Your cousin's plate is neat because of the cut-outs, and the chip seems to fit into the pattern! I really like those transferware dishes you are thinking about.

I love all of them, too. I have one platter of the rose on the bottom left. I would love to get a whole set.........of course, I have no place to put them.........but that never stops me. :)

Susan, I love your blog---you just share the most interesting posts.
ReplyDeleteHappy verrrrrrrry late Pink Sat.. I was so sidetracked for a couple of days getting ready for a brunch I had here yesterday! Anyway, I love old family dishes, too, and that one is perfect--chip and all! I have grown to love the pinkish/red transferware, too. I have two cups and saucers that are from John Brothers Castles of England. I also have grown to love their blue transferware pattern of Libery Blue and I have picked up a few pieces of that when I see them at a good price.
I so enjoyed your Tablescape Tues today, too! LOVE the Blue Willow with the orangey placemats. You are right, we should be using our silver more often.
See you at the next Pink Sat for sure! Dana
That plate in your hubby's family is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI agree, in starting to collect pink dishes. Looking forward to seeing a tablescape ;)
Thanks for visiting over at my blog. I'm visiting a little late!
