Beautiful plates Kim!!! I love dishes of all kinds myself! Since we traveled so often in the military, I was able to see so many beautiful sets of dishes, but decided to just get dinner plates instead of sets since that is really all we usually use soooI have like 11 sets of dinner plates! I have one funny story about my dish collection I have to tell! Did anyone see the movie "Out of Africa"? There is a scene where they are packing up Meryl Streep's character and she has Limoges dishes (expensive and french) and she is frantically saying "oh oh! my Limoges! my Limoges!"
Well, when we lived in Germany, we traveled down to France and I bought ONE teacup, saucer and luncheon plate in Limoges - just to say I have some "Limoges". When the German packers were packing me up, I was teasing them and went through my Meryl Streep act and the whole "oh oh, my Limoges!" and guess the guy had seen the movie!! When I got back stateside I opened a huge box - big enough for a whle set of dishes - it was full of paper and I thought it was empty! But, there nestled in the very center - was.......
MY Limoges!!!
