I sometimes find the sweetest treasures
while out and about thrifting and hitting antique shoppes.
This sweet plate is no exception.
I love its patches of dark pink with its fancy scalloped
holed edges with gilding.
I'm not one to ever really hang plates on a wall
so she has been used on occassion along with a paper doily
to serve petite fours and mini cupcakes in the past
when having a friend or two over for a little tea social visit.
(But right now she is making a really pretty candle holder!)
I love this silk floral candle ring,
even the roses look "spent," which makes it so realistic!
And with a little bit of Pic Monkey imagination
it also makes a mighty fine framed piece of artwork!
Don't forget my giveaway this month!
As always, thank you for visiting!

Your plate makes a great candle holder. I have a "Daily Bread" plate very similar.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very nice prayer on a lovely plate. You find some sweet things.

ReplyDeleteI hope you will come link to Open House. I have one of these plates my Mother In Law gave me with the 10 Commandments on it and I love it!
ReplyDeletePretty cool picture work! I like the ways you have used your pretty plate. Lets have a cheery weekend! :0)
ReplyDeleteLove it Michele! Wonderful blessing. I have a plate with an edge like that. I have it displayed on the shelf that runs along the wall in my living room. You created a lovely floral arrangement!

How clever with Pic Monkey! I would never have thought of that.
ReplyDeleteLovely little plate and it looks so pretty with your candle arrangement. You certainly have found a multitude of uses for it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been thrifting much as I need absolutely nothing. I do miss it though. Too busy and too cold to do yard sales yet.

Such a darling plate with a cute saying. I go to more Estate sales these days than thrift stores.Always fun.
ReplyDeleteThat's one pretty plate. I'm always on the lookout for plates like that when i'm out thrifting.
ReplyDeleteI love it when we use china for a multitude of purposes, as you so clearly do! And I can see I need to become acquainted with Picmonkey. You really do some fun things with your photos on here, Michele. Thanks for the inspiration!
