My Passion for Plates

I, like so many of you, have a passion for plates. They are so inexpensive (the ones I buy are) and look great hung on a wall, on a plate rack, or standing on a easel. I have shown many of these before and have posted about this a while back so this is kind of a repeat. Hey, I needed something to post so I hope you don't mind! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I love the red ones and the square ones are so unique looking.

Oh...I love your plates and all the holders....I have the same illness...and seriously, need like dishaholics anonomous...because something has to go.....I am hitting that something in - something out time....don't like it...but my hubs says buying a bigger house just for my dishes is out of the question. What is his problem anyways????
Have a great weekend.

Manuela@A Cultivated Nest said...

You know I share your love of plates! As a matter of fact we have many of the same plates LOL! Where did you find your plate with the red gingham rim and chicken inside? I found a plate and bowl at the thrift store like that but I'd like to get more - do you have any idea who sells them? Not like I really need anymore plates! Can you say "dishaholic" LOL!

Pam @ This Humble House said...

ah...I am just starting to think about plates, too! Thanks for the photos and ideas of what to do with them!

Kimberly said...

You have so many pretty ones! My favorites are the toile ones and the square-ish ones in the metal basket.

Connie said...

I just happend to come across your blog and I must say that I adore your many plates. I too have become somewhat of a plate addict. I have been transforming plates with vinyl lettering. Come on over to my blog and see the most recent ones I've done.

Misti of Studio M Designs said...

WOW! What a collection! All of your plates and your other decor, for that matter, are my colors! When you get tired of them, just send them all over! I also love the artwork that you have made with the shutter, and the letter art too! So many great ideas here. I haven't had time to visit lately, as I am trying desperately to cram in this MT course online and to meet my goal it takes every bit of time. Hopefully, in October I will be finished and back to blogging as usual.

Have a great week!

Oh my gosh...what is the deal with plates ??????????
I have them stashed in drawers everywhere because I don't know what to do with them.
Maybe I should have a giant PLATE GIVEAWAY on my blog ??????

Jenni said...

Hi Angie,
Your plates are ALL beautiful! I especially love the first rooster one and the lettuce plates! :) I hope you are having a good weekend!

Stacey said...

Your plates are so pretty! I especially like the green bunny one and all the square plates. Where do you find all of your plates? I come across a few here and there at thrift or antique stores. It seems like when I am out looking for plates I can't ever find one!

Its So Very Cheri said...

I love them all. Where do you typically pick up your inexpensive plates-estate sales, garage sales or do you watch for good deals?

Sorry-I've been out of commission -- terribly sick for over a week-- but do you want to know how I cut my grocery bill in half? go to Cut your grocery bills now plus I have a give a way and a new MckLinky party starting Monday

I believe I've stumbled upon a long lost sister!!! Just looked at your plate collection and I have many of the same plates. I love the Bordallo Pinhiero plates. I have the pink cabbage and some green and odd pieces of many more patterns. Can't wait to check out your entire site! You can check out mine at www.thealligatorbox.blogspt.com. I used one of your photos and gave you credit and put a link back to your site. Take care .... sista!
