Dish Dance

I had to empty one of my dish cabinets in my kitchen/dinette so the telephone/cable man could install my new prism cable I chose . I think I will really like it  I get lots more channels to choose from and it several dollars less a month than my old cable company

Well anyway I had to empty a double shabby chic cabinet in my dinette so the installer man could drill a hole through my wall into my office.to connect to my computer etc

I have dishes all over the table my buffet kitchen counters and bar and some in floor and I was gone last night and too tired when I got home to mess with them. I am a low energy person LOL I have to recharge a lot

Lots of plates got moved out

                                                                                 

A pie plate on bottom of this stack

My large platter gravy boat and its tray and a water pitcher. I have loved this pattern for years

I have several pieces of my mother of pearl flatware laying around in this cabinet
Here is  my only little sliver napkin ring holder a little boy and his dog ,I bought this years ago and now can't remember where. Do you forget where you buy your treasures after having then 30 years or more? Of course some of you aren't even 30 years old yet LOL

Another stack of mixed plates pink tranferware calendar plates in this stack 
Silver spoons stuck around
These are some pretty rhinestone hair pins in a  fancy shot glass

I took pictures so I would know how I had all my dishes arranged in this cabinet I have a class tonight so can't work on it  and then after work tomorrow a manicure but surely I can get a few back in before I take off for Kansas City for the weekend another niece's wedding 


I didn't take pictures of the vintage mirrors I have through out this cabinet to reflect the dishes. I didn't realize how many till I had to empty this. Hope you like blue and white dishes as much as I do

    Oh my, Janice, what a scrumptious post! I love all your transferware and flatware. The mother of pearl is really pretty and the napkin ring is adorable! You have some gorgeous pieces in your collection. Sometimes we forget a piece or two until we have to clean out a cabinet or two. Thank you for sharing and coming to tea. Enjoy your day.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    Nice Dishes.
    Have you been to see Susan at Between Naps On The Porch?
    She makes the most pretty tablescape with her dishes.
    Just a thought, Oh and I do not tablescape myself.

    Gorgeous dishes, isn't it crazy that cleaning a closet or cabinet is like Christmas...Because we forget what is in there LOL! Now don't wreck your new manicure putting it back together. Have fun at your wedding, take pictures, we love wedding pictures and so many brides are choosing the vintage theme

    I have been there before... dishes all over the first floor - when all you wanted to do was 'organize' or 'neaten' one hutch (lol). Beautiful dishes though - love the blue!

    OMG! What a coincidence.
    I so love your collection of Calico (Staffordshire & Burleigh)! I am so inmfamously known for blue and white that I do not touch it anymore. BUT this morning I could not resist picking up 4 dinner plates that I found so very beautiful. I do not like floral patterns on plates. These plates were blue and white and had flowers in transfer ware all over (just a perfect combination that I would not touch). However, I found these so pretty that I could not resist them. Guess what ....They are in the exact same pattern (Louis 14th) as yours, that I picked up at an antique store here (in Sweden) today. And then started the hunt (on e-bay) for something that could be used for serving to complement the set.
    And then, just 4 hrs later while reading on Fall tablescapes, I stumble upon your post with pictures of the most amazing collection in the very same pattern!
