Collection of Vintage Rose Dishes


Hello,
Well instead of Spring cleaning I have been doing some Fall cleaning
mainly because I didn't get to it in the Spring... or Summer for that matter!
I love collecting vintage dishes especially ones with roses
but I really don't enjoy the job of washing them all!
But needless to say they needed to be done!
I finally got them all back in my china closet...
but still haven't got the vintage doilies washed and back in ... sigh!
The set on the top shelf are one of my favorites.
I found them at a yard sale in perfect condition for $3.50 for the set!
They have wild roses on them and I think they are beautiful.
The second shelf is a mismatch of rose dishes and my
very small collection of pink depression glass.
This set of dishes I bought when I was 17 years old
from an elderly lady that I cleaned for.  
Wow that was 30 years ago! Shhh... lol
The funny thing is I have about 20 dinner plates
and only 1 cup! 
Someday........ I plan on using some of the extra plates for a 
broken china table mosaic and looking for some more matching cups.
So there you have it my nice clean collection of 
vintage rose dishes in my china closet :)
 I made this rose pomander ball to hang on the key.
I hope you enjoyed looking at
part of my collection of vintage dishes!


Thanks for stopping by,
Beverly
