$19 Worth of Flea Market Dishes

First of all I am tickled... second of all... to figure out how to make it all work.


Work into what, you ask.... Oh, how to explain... these lovely dishes are destined to be an intregal function of my Froggy Pond Fountain... Aren't they lovely? I love dishes. I had three sets of dishes for my own use before I knew I was collecting. At five sets it was borderline obsessing.

So it makes sense that I should have dishes in my Froggy Pond Fountain...


Oh, pinks and greens and flowers, oh my. I'm not sure if they will all fit in ... clearly I have more dishes than I have space in my dishpan. But who was I leave behind? For .50c here and a dollar there... And all of them raising their little china hands shrieking, "Pick me, pick me!!!" who, I mean which, was I to leave behind?

This is where I am spending my day, what about you?

    Jenny! I can't wait to see what you do with those dishes! They're all so pretty. I totally understand the dish obsession. Thanks for the sweet comment on my blog. That picture was taken last November. I'll be 48 in December and I appreciate any comment about looking young! LOL

    There is the most beautiful fountain in Mexico City that is made entirely of pieces of china, lots of it found in shipwrecked vessels. Is that your plan Miss Jenny?
