February Favorites

I found a stack of these plates a few years ago while thrift shopping with my sisters in Kalamazoo.

ALMOST passed them up. Yet I was fairly sure that just one of the plates would sell for more than what the entire stack would cost me.

So I went back and got them.

I find them to be charming.

But I don't have much that's pink in my home, except for my pink bathroom. And I did try them in there, but they looked somewhat odd, like one would imagine a French street scene in a bathroom would.

Even the picture on the back of each plate is cutesy.

So they rest comfortably, stacked on the shelves in my china cupboard.

Have I used them, you may wonder?

Yes. Yes I have.

There are chips here and there on three of the plate, but none that effect the front of the plate.

So, I have used them as serving pieces along with other patterns of pink/white/glass dishes.

I've also thought of stacking the three different sizes gluing glass candlesticks between the plates.

I think though, that if I ever open up an Etsy shop these will be my first Favorite Things that I would sell.

Not because I don't like them, but because I'm just not French/wine/poodle-y enough to want to keep them forever.
