For my second Pink Saturday, I remembered these tiny plates I have hanging on the side of a kitchen cabinet. (You know, I really have lots of purple and red in my house – is there a purple or red day challenge going on?)
My mom gave me these delicate plates and her mom had given them to her.
I don’t know how many Grandma started with, but by the time I got them there were 6. Now they’re down to 5. Following is a close-up of each:
It’s interesting to me how the gold border has faded or rubbed off differently on each one. I think this one has the most border remaining:
This one got chipped (on lower right) during my last move. It’s my favorite:

Love those plates, I bought some recently that are very similar but I haven’t put them up yet. I am confused to the message you left me about not being able to get to my blog, what is the(shoot I forget what you called it) was it firewall? I am not familiar with this, if you could please let me know, I’ve noticed that I haven’t had to many messages lately, I woder if theres a problem.

The plates are beautiful and precious because they were Grandma’s.
I’m going to do a Blue Monday, would that help?
Happy Pink Saturday!
THose plates are all beautiful. I’m sorry to hear that you are down to five. It must comfort you knowing that they belonged to your grandmother and now you have them.
Happy Pink Saturday!

The plates are beautiful. Happy Pink Saturday!
These plates are so beautiful. You know they enjoyed them a long time ago because we can’t put them in the microwave because of the gold trim. Happy Pink Saturday.
Happy Pink Saturday, Kristiane.
How wonderful that you have these plates which came from your grandmother. Each one is beautiful.
Love china plates and the fact they are family heirlooms makes them so special! Thanks for sharing!
I love all your beautiful plates! They are quite the heirloom treasures!

Very lovely *pink* plates! I love too, how older things get worn in different places, and you can see how they were used and loved! I’m still making my way around the *pink* posts from last week!
