Decorating On The Prairie With Old Dishes



Beloved,
So glad you stopped by.
Hi there. 

Are you smiling?
When I get BLESSED with TREASURES 
at a THRIFTY PRICE
I smile real BIG!!!

Went to a Sale and SMILED 
all the way to the car.
Once I got home...I smiled some more.

Really smiling over this one.
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeese.
Only spent pocket change.


What will I do with all these platters and dishes???
USE them.


Some vintage...some not.  
Some will find their way hanging 
on the Dining room wall in our old house.
Some will be placed on the table with goodies.
Etc. Etc. Etc.


These dishes are made of baked clay 
then glazed and baked again.  


Lovely dishes.  


Somebody knew what they were doing 
when they worked at making these items to sale. 


I wonder where all they have been? 


Years later, 
I am enjoying them, using them in my HOME 
and telling a story about them.


Lovely dishes.
Making my home a happier place!


If you pick up dishes at Tag Sales, Thrift Stores, 
Yard/Garage Sales, Dollar Stores or given them...
dishes don't have to break the bank.
Discount and Outlet Stores  
sale affordable dishes that are good looking 
and suitable for all.  


Aren't we blessed to be able to have lovely and practical
dishes to use in our Homes?
May you have a delightful day,
~Deanna~







Discovered that I'm going through a PHASE where I like soft colors and small flowers on dishes.  ~especially roses~

Wikipedia states that pottery is the material from which the pottery ware is made, of which major types include earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain.  The place where such wares are made is also called a pottery. 

The Bible shares scripture about God being the potter and people the clay.
  
Isaiah 64: 8
8) But now, O LORD, thou art our father; 
we are the clay, and thou our potter; 
and we all are the work of thy hand.


Jeremiah 18: 1-6
1) The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 
2) Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.  
3) Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.  
4) And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.  
5) Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 
6) Oh house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter?  
saith the LORD.  Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

Job 10: 9
9) Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay;
and wilt thou bring me into dust again?

Oh, I needed to be called beloved tonight. Daughter is not coping with stress this week. She and I are missing her daddy so much!!

The dishes are very lovely, especially the one with pink roses and violets. Two of my favorite flowers. ♥♫

Thank you for making me smile.

Artist at the Old Stone House said...

I'm glad you were able to smile all the way to the car...knowing you had found a load of treasures!
I don't think I'll ever forget the feeling as I was rolling
that big heavy cart out the door of the Armory (while you were going to get the car) and watching in horror
when the handle I was using to wrangle it over the
hump came off. I stood there for split second holding a handle watching the cart making it's own way down the sidewalk towards the parked cars. (quickly I might add) Then I sprinted after the cart trying to put the handle back in place on the move, while on of sale helpers zoomed past me to catch the handle on the front. Between the two of us we managed to bring the cart to a halt just in the nick of time.

I can only imagine the noise that load of glass and dishes would have made had it been the parked cars that stopped it. :)

Next year at their sale I'll be checking cart handles before I roll off with a load of my dear's ones treasures.

The dishes are lovely, indeed. My favorite is the scalloped plate with the crescent shaped spray of litle tiny white flowers surrounded by lots of greenery. Are those flowers forget me nots, or lily of the valley? And I held my breath as I read the artist's account of the runaway cart full of dishes....Close call!

What a beautiful collection of dishes. Don't you love how many ways we use them these days? Hope you're staying cool over there.

What a beautiful post! The dishes are lovely and I love how you tied the pictures in with the scriptures:). BTW, I would love for you to sit in my chair and have tea with me. We would have such wonderful conversations. I know we can't do this in person but maybe we can have virtual tea sometime:). Needless to say, you are always a welcome guest in our home should you ever be in our area:).

Blessings,

Kim

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

through

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
