I'm glad you use your little spoons, often they're on a display rack in someone's home who complains about cleaning them.

I actually prefer a lot of white dishes mismatched. I can also see why the mugs are so appealing. I bought a similarly shaped mug at a dollar store and find myself reaching for it every morning to sip my coffee from. The mug is not too light, not too heavy..it is just right !KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-69219206227585111122014-11-17T20:27:31.769-05:002014-11-17T20:27:31.769-05:00Hi Deborah, Love the plates you found at the consi...Hi Deborah, Love the plates you found at the consignment shop. The colors do look so pretty together. The white fruit plates and mugs are wonderful. I love them and they seem to go with your large platter design too. Perfect to have on hand for company over the holidays.<br />The spoons are darling. I collect spoons to paint and transform into ornaments etc. Lately I love finding the smaller styles and sugar spoons.<br />Have a great week.<br />Hugs and BlessingsCelestina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021633519525822335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-64811709634279643872014-11-17T20:03:49.586-05:002014-11-17T20:03:49.586-05:00You have a great collection of teaspoons Deborah! ...You have a great collection of teaspoons Deborah!

I have a collection of vintage tea-spoons, too. They are fun to look through at thrift shops. That's amazing that you have a great-grandmother's spoon. What a treasure that is. It's very cold and snowy here in Ontario, Canada. Time to get out the winter boots. Enjoy your evening.
