Twyla on Tuesday

Hello Friends!
You know how I love to share my collections and vintage finds with you and I
am so behind!  I've found the most beautiful plates in the last few weeks that were very inexpensive for as pretty as they were.
This beautiful image is on a plate.


Here is the plate.  Made in England.


This is another plate made in Bavaria.


I absolutely love this plate with the roses!  Made in Bavaria also.


This little saucer is Dresden.
  Purchased for a pittance.
I am going to get plate hangers and hang them on the wall.


You remember my vintage potholder collection from last week, well, I found
another one this week!  I thought it was unusual because they'd used black yarn.
A very sophisticated little potholder!


This was my favorite find yesterday at the antique store we went to.  I love these motto
prints and some of the prettiest ones are to Mother.
The graphics are so pretty and the carved wood frame was in great shape!


Thank you so much for stopping by and letting me share some of my treasures with you.
The paper that we used for the background was by Sassafras called Nerdy Bird and this paticular design was 'Sprightly'.
Wishing you much happiess!
Twyla

Those plates are so lovely. I especially like the rose plate. I collect vintage potholders, my favorite being the embroidered or the little dresses. Thank you for sharing your vintage treasures.

Twyla, those plates are just stunning, especially the one with the cottage in the background and the one with the lantern! Love the Mother print too. I've started a little collection of them, and now I can't pass them up!

Hi Twyla!
Someone must've really had a magazine or something with black and cream/white for potholders and doilies. Around here in the Greater Cincinnati...Oh/KY/In... we have seen an increase in that color combo for vintage textiles...even hankies with the tatting on the edge. Love those plates especially the one with the cottage.
Just wanted to ask if you heard about Market Monday? It's next May 3rd (first Mon. of every month)and you guys can link to it with your selling sites. You can check it out over at my Blog.
Hope you're having a wonderful springy day!

Your first photo really caught my attention because I have two plates with this pattern on them. They are almost square shaped with a gold trim. They belonged to my mother and we used them all the time at home.

Lovely to see that other people appreciate these lovely timeless pieces! Hugs, Carol xoxo

Twyla, the plates you found are so pretty! I especially love the framed Mother poem. Almost Mary Engelbreit-like.
