I just know there are some dishaholics like me out there in blogland who appreciate looking at dishes.
"Oops"....first put the cats out on the closed-in deck as they are snoopy and love to get into mischief when I am in the dining-room. Cupboards with open doors are like a magnet to them. A treasure hunt in their minds and they love checking out the dishes.
Ice cream bowls & my mom's cutlery
Cake means lots of plates so out come the small ones
Something to put the cake on
I'll fill the odd-shaped bowl with fruit or chocolate. Probably chocolate :)
Once again, wasn't fast enough for Lily
"Let's go see what nosey knows"
It is so hot but the sun is gorgeous and I love how it brightens up the room.
So we are ready for cake. "Happy Birthday dear daughter"
Hope you have a wonderful Sunday, too.
hugs, Deb
Happy birthday to your sweet daughter , Deb

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the Birthday excitement! What a loverly daughter you have!

Just found your lovely blog through Cat Chat. I share your passion for cats---and dishes! Except I live in a small NYC apartment and have little storage space. I am an artist with lively 3 cats. I create cat art cards and prints with my 3 felines as subjects. If you have a moment please take a look at my art work in my Etsy shop http://www.DeborahJulian.etsy.com
ReplyDeleteI wish you and your daughter a beautiful day!
Happy Birthday to Jess! What a cutie she is. My youngest is also 29....where do the years go? If I open a cabinet Charlie is right there also, curiosity for sure. Love those cute bird plates! hugs, Linda

Am I the only one who is beyond partial to the colorful, stained-glass looking ice cream bowls? OMC I am just crazy about them!
