CHRISTMAS DISHES
Morning Prim Folk, Happy Hump Day to you all!!!! Snowy, blowy here today and the cold is on it's way to, dipping way down with a biting wind chill, good time to snuggle in and stay toasty................ Yesterday I took out my Christmas dishes to use through the month of December. I like to use them everyday, I think they are so pretty and plus my Mom and Dad gave the set to me one Christmas in the 90'S. I fell in love with this pattern called Christmas Pleasure so they bought a set for me one Christmas and then every year after that I would receive a piece in that pattern like a tea pot, cream/sugar, salt/pepper shakers, so that I have all the settings for the table. They are so special to me, then I came across these beautiful plates called Merry Christmas by the Johnson Brothers at a church rummage sale, love their dishes. Then at a Antique store I came across these beauties, love the pictures on them both, one called Winter Holiday, another Johnson Bros, the other one Winter, Shakespeare's Sonnets, HOW LIKE A WINTER HATH MY ABSENCE BEEN FROM THEE. THE PLEASURE OF THE FLEETING YEAR, so beautiful. A little dish my sweet MIL gave me for I loved the old horse and sleigh winter scene on it, called Canadiana would you believe, a treasure now for she has passed. I adore picture plates and that's why you will find me looking through old dishes wherever we go, thrift stores, yard sales, hoping to find another treasure.............Wishing you a wonderful day, welcome to all the new followers, Warm Blessings Francine.
Hi Francine - Thank you for being such a faithful follower of my blog, and for always leaving such kind and encouraging comments. That being said, I LOVE your dishes - It's so nice that you have such warm memories associated with them!
I love your plates and I do the same thing by bringing out my Christmas dishes for the entire month. It makes even a sandwich taste like a holiday treat every day. Donna
Such a great find at the sale Francine. I have the Friendly Village dishes by Johnson Brothers and I treasure them. I do use them for every day dishes.
What a delightful collection of holiday dishes! And to have such lovely memories attached is so very special indeed. Wishing you much joy Francine ... Judy
