We have a new word prompt every Sunday
and this week is
It all started nearly 2 years ago, I stopped by some yard sale with my daughters, and found this beautiful rose saucer
and this plate
and there was the beginning of this idea
I want to collect pretty plates from yard sale and thrift store, and I can have my own miss-match Alice tea party at home
not just from Las Vegas, I found a pretty good stack in New York City while I went thrifting with Lauren too.
imagine how I brought this stack home from NYC?
but wait.....
aren't we talking about LACE
and not rose?
Yep, it is part of my plan
to find a lacy border plate to match my rose plate
I finally did....
they are like 0.75 per piece, in perfect condition, I grabbed 6 from the shelf the minute I saw them, and regretted after I walked around the other side of the aisle, thinking I should just get all of them, there were 8, but guess what, it was gone 5 minutes later, so I had to settled with just 6, oh well....
I still get a beautiful stack there though...
would you like to come over for tea now?

Oh yes!! I'm here to stay for tea :). What a gorgeous plates!!. They are all so precious, both lacy and the rosy ones. I used to seeing laced plates at the flea market here, then no more ... great photo compositions too, Kirsty. I LOVE that you add some jasmine flowers too, nostalgic :).
My grandmother used to grow jasmine tree and in the mornings she would make me pick fresh flowers to keep in her hand-made 'bedak sejuk' bottles :). Sweet memories!
Those plates are all gorgeous!!!
Kirsty--- this old plates are so beautiful! I use also very old plates and cups from the granny of my husband!
Have a nice day
