cake plates

Cake and coffee will be served at our home today after a hardy breakfast out. Jessica aka Jess is celebrating her 29th birthday so I'm pulling out some of my favorite dishes. I'm also dusting, polishing, vacuuming., and doing laundry in between.

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.
                                  "Pffffft"..only if there's food in them"
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

  5. 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

    I wish you and your daughter a beautiful day!

  14. HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESS!!!

    She is sooo pretty and looks so much like you! She has your smile for sure!

    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!

    Please save me a piece of cake, I'll be right over! Don't get scared, I'm a little too far way but not overly far! :)
