Playing with Dishes

As a little girl, I always loved playing with dishes.  I think most little girls do.  However, I don't think I have ever outgrown that particular pastime.  I really like dishes still to this day.  One of my sets that I particuarly enjoy are my "pink" dishes.  They were a gift from my mother-in-law a number of years ago.  She had received them from her mom who had obtained them as part of the furnishings in a house that they had purchased.  My mom has helped a great deal in adding to my set by keeping an eye out for them at antique stores.  They are hard to come by at a reasonable price, but we keep looking for them. 

Recently I pulled them all out of the cupboard where they have been stored, washed them, and found a new spot for them where I can see them on a daily basis, and appreciate them more.  I just couldn't resist taking a picture of them on my table before they found their new home.

Your set is so pretty. I should really look into starting a set for myself. There are so many colors to pick from at the antique shops. One day. :)

I love glass sundae dishes.
That pink glass is popular over here at vintage markets! My daughter has started collecting it.
Love Kathy xxx

I still play with dishes too, though I collect blue transferware. Your pink ones are so pretty!

Of course, the pink dished are pretty. but now that you have them out and accessible, you really should USE them. Nothing else can bring such pleasure and joy. I think we fail when we don't enjoy the things we have, and not using dished is one that no one can get on me.

I agree -- we really should use them -- that is the entire point -- to use and enjoy :)
