Side plates.

Years ago I hardly had any side plates with three teenagers and all their friends it was difficult to keep hold of them!!! They were smashed and disappeared under beds etc.....


But now I have lots (surprise, surprise).......
I do have some everyday, modern ,red patterned ones in my cupboard for everyday use or for when I serve men....they sometimes balk at a rosie plate!!!LOL!!
But I now find it impossible not to eat off of a dainty side plate.....
Sandwiches or a slice of cake or an almond macaroon do not taste the same if they are not eaten off of a rose or some goldeness!!!!! x x x x
Hope you like my new banner......my beautiful daughter Poppy(13) created it for me....I must admit i wouldn't have a clue!! Isn't she clever!!!!!!!!

  3. The header is great, you have a very clever daughter with some very handy talents ! Your plates are so pretty, I love using vintage china too and it is cheaper to buy in charity shops and boot sales than buying boring new stuff.
