My mom was an avid collector of fruit and vegetable dishes. I felt like it was a little “Hello from heaven” just before my surgery when I found these. #thriftstorefinds #vintagedishware #vegetabledishes #goodwillfinds #hellofromheaven https://www.instagram.com/p/CjoF8-wPadA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Last week, I worked on an article for Artisans List about all the stories behind vintage restaurant ware. The whole entire process of writing and photographing the dishes felt like an adventure. It’s amazing how many stories can stem from one plate or one platter or one cup or one bowl. By week’s end it felt like I had been on travel trip myself back in time:) So excited to share the post when it comes out. Stay tuned... . . . . . . #restaurantware #artisanslist #timetravel #vintagedishware #writingtopics #storiesfromhistory #summertravels #travelbackintime #yellowsuitcase https://www.instagram.com/p/CClmiZuJzKW/?igshid=hgfq2ngrxkhf

Next year it will be 2020. If you are like us, you might be inclined to ring in the new decade with all the glamour and exuberance of the 1920’s. You could start with your dishware, and a platter like this one made in 1928. That’s when American life was at the peak of excitement. Jazz clubs ruled the night scene, alcohol was served in teacups, dancing was the preferred method of exercise and most importantly, women were defining life on their own terms. One year after this platter was made, the Great Depression began, and all that exhilarating joy suddenly seemed and felt like a faraway dream. Luckily, this dish stayed around to remind us of those frenzied and feverish days when the whole point of living was to begin each day and end each night in celebration. Cheers to all the big merrymakers who roared in revelry around this big dish 91 years ago. It’s our hope that its second century is just as thrilling. - - - - #1920s #platters #roaring20s #vintagedishware #purple #florallove #purpledecor #1928 #almostantique #vintageglam #metropolitanstyle #nostalgia https://www.instagram.com/inthevintagekitchen/p/Bvwio5ugvnz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ey8oszv249e8

In the 1940s, this is how you served your homemade cake... on two small porcelain plates featuring Bavarian roses and blue forget-me-not florals. While the roses are pastel stunners, it’s the blue forget-me-nots that the plates themselves would like you to focus on. You see the plates suffer from a little anxiety. They worry that they will be forgotten to history... passed over, cast aside, put away, left behind. But we reassure them all the time. One day soon they will find their perfect home. A happy place where they will continue to bloom forever and ever. And there will be mountains of cake and seas of smiles and life will be sweet for this two forever forward. If that sounds like your space, then these two are waiting just for you in the shop;) - - - - #porcelain #bavarian #roses #forgetmenots #vintagedishware #romanticdecor #cottagegardenstyle #1940s #alittlestory #romantichome #germanvintage https://www.instagram.com/inthevintagekitchen/p/BvPJx27ANjK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18gacmdu9axes
