I've added a plate to my collection courtesy of Susanna of Granny Sue's News and Reviews. Not too long ago she shared some photos on her blog of her antique spaces and blue plates caught my eye. I sent her a comment and then an email. She sent back photos of several plates and I settled on the one below.
Here it is hung up.
Thank you, Susanna!
Here are others also under the cabinets.
The one above is a wooden plate painted by my mother.
Below is a recent acquisition from Spain purchased in 2023. That's a pomegranate in the center which is what Granada means.
This plate was a gift from my mom one Christmas a long time ago.
This one came from my mother's china cabinet. It's probably the oldest one I have.
This one is tiny if you look back to where it appears with two other plates. I found it at a church yard sale.
This is also a purchase from a Spain trip in 2019. It's made in Portugal but I liked it's large size and handles.
Daughter Emily brought this home from Italy as a gift for me in 2000.
This one is not a plate but a bowl. I couldn't figure how to hang it so it sits in the corner of my counter. I got it as a Yankee gift swap the Garden Club hosted.
I think I've used all the possible space I have for showing blue plates but I suppose other tiny ones could be slipped in here and there. Who knows?
What do you collect and display in your kitchen?
