Do you play with your plates ?
Blogging friend Elizabeth from About New York had the delightful idea to launch the "plate post" about our favorite plates. Being a sweet tooth, my favorite plates around the house are definitely dessert plates, especially the celadon ones below.
I love them so much that even when they're broken I keep every tiny bit to make boxes or impromptu packaging for perfume samples.
But honestly, here in Andalucia, plates look so nice on the walls too....I don't understand how I didn't succumb to the traditional custom yet! This style of blue ceramic is widely popular around here. I'm not too sure but I think it's called Granada ceramic.
Don't you think it adds a touch of "alegria" to white walls ?pics : me

I love the idea of using the little plate fragments --so pretty in themselves as part of a gift wrap.
Your rose plates are just right for June.
Happy week!
I have some lovely plates. Perhaps I'll take a picture or two of them sometime. That said, some of
my favorite plates, plates I've actually eaten off of, are the Jean Cocteau painted plates at The Welcome Hotel in Ville Franche. They are absolutely amazing particularly coupled with the beautiful Cocteau wall sconces illuminating the room! Next time you're in the South of France you really must stop in for a delightful dinner there.
Best,
David
