Teddy took up her regular position first thing this morning.
Drop something mama...please drop something.
And then it happened. I opened the pantry door and a bag of open pretzels fell out spilling pretzels and salt all over the floor. Teddy was ready!
Click to enlarge...she was right on the cleanup.
Not a crumb was left when Teddy was finished. Lucky puppy day.
I have a confession to make. I am a plate freak. I love plates and have so many sets of them it is a bit embarrassing. This set is Johnson Brothers silver and white.
These plates are trimmed in silver with silver bees.
Some day I will show you a lot more of these blue transferware plates. Most of these are Staffordshire from England. Click for a better view.
I have a lot of patriotic dishes that are fun to use for Memorial Day and Fourth of July.
Uh oh..the Blog Tech is in trouble again...this pic is sideways. This is George Washington at Valley Forge.
These black and gold plates are hand painted.
These are my favorites. They are called Fallow Deer and are made by Wedgewood. Click to actually see the fallow deers. These are very rare and hard to come by. It took me 15 years to finally find enough to complete service for 12.
These flo blue dishes are from France. I have service for 20 in this pattern.
These dishes are French Limoge. I use them for Easter dinner.I just scratched the surface of my plate cache. I told you it was ugly.

I´ve never seen anything like those silver and white before. My favourite however is the Fallow deer. Perhaps just because we have fallow deers not far from our cottages :-)
Have a great day now!

I had a set that I left with my brother that my uncle gave to my mother (could that have been any more convoluted?). He bought them in Japan when he was serving in the Army during the Korean War.
They were beautiful - soft greens and pinks. If I had known we were going to settle down into a house again so soon after we took off in the trailer I would have put my stuff in storage instead of giving it all away. Oh well...such is life.
All the plates are gorgeous. I especially like the Silver Bee and Fallow Deer plates. Following your thrifting is akin to peeking in someone's hope chest. Great fun!
I said that I loved all of your dish patterns,and would have a hard time picking a favorite. Each is delightful in its own way, which is probably why you like them too!
And, I'm so happy that something FINALLY dropped on the floor for Teddy, because she was looking to be in extreme need of some nourishment, poor puppy! ;-)
Teddy is quick! She knows how to get her dropped treats pronto - lol!
And yay for Teddy getting some yummy pretzels. LOL
