darling dishes

There is something about pretty dishes, every girl should have some. I can't help but wonder why they don't make dishes like they used to. Why don't we sip tea from sweet little cups and saucers? I am certain that my girls and I will have many sits at an outdoor table in the sun. We will drink tea and eat pie on lovely dishes, as though they were made just for us. We will laugh and admire our garden and I will just sit and listen to them. I will look on with admiration at the beautiful girls that I get to call my own. And for them, I will always get out the good dishes...

Here is some of the collection I have. No matter what my circumstance, I have always been able to afford pretty dishes. I found the pink wine glasses at goodwill for $1 a piece! I remember at the time $8 was a lot for me to spend. A few of the pieces were my great grandmother's, but the rest I found at goodwill and garage sales. I don't really host much, but I would like to. I am thinking I might plan a dinner...no boys allowed. Just the women and girlies I love. And the table will be set in hues of white, pink, and blue dishes. Dishes I loving looked for, and brought home, to their little place in my cupboard...much more fitting for such pretties, rather than being tossed on shelves, or jammed in boxes in someones garage.

Dishes. Who knew dishes could bring such joy?

Kali I just read your entire blog ... I found you through Brin at Freeman House in Texas. Isn't she an inspiration?

Your spirit really shines through your writing and your love for your two beautiful daughters. I am definitely going to mark your blog as a 'favorite' and keep checking in on you.

Good luck with the photography dream! You CAN do it.
