Over the years I've seen so many beautiful dishes that strike my fancy, it was inevitable I'd become a dedicated mix and matcher. These two are part of a small luncheon set I couldn't resist, made in Limoges, France by Haviland.
They fit in well with my other dishes' mostly blue and white coloring and make appearances throughout the year.
This turkey always makes his way into the rotation come fall.
And this cow! He's one of my very favorites -- I love the way he's curled his hoof under.Be sure to visit Faded Charm for more pretties in white!
Love those plates. So French and I love French country.
ReplyDeleteMix and match all the way...love it!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way about mix and match! Too many beautiful things to pass up and like you say you can always make them work--Love your Limoges! Jacqueline
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful! Such beautiful plates.
ReplyDeleteSherry
Great plates, I'd love to see what animals are on the other plates!
ReplyDeletePS-Love your houses, they are so pretty!
I ADORE that cow as well! It's his little curled hoof that made me fall in love too! One of our boxers is colored like a calf (well at least he reminds us of one!) and he lays like that often or with both curled under, then he looks like a sheep! LOL So glad I saw this on White Wednesday...such a great link party! New follower!
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I haven't seen plates like these before.

I like that! The colors are great - the bull and turkey are definitely pieces of artwork!
ReplyDeleteLove the blue too!

I think these are two of the prettiest plates I've ever seen! And I love to mix and match too, because you can get alot more plates that way. It's cheaper than buying a whole set!
ReplyDeleteHappy White Wednesday!

I love those plates and have never seen them before. Love that cow!
ReplyDeleteThe turkey strutting is the best one for me. The painting is so delicate and yet the colors so vibrant. I have never seen these Limoges plates before.

Hi Amanda,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by last WW to see me. Loved seeing your pretties.
All the best,
Judy
Those are wonderful! I'm the same way with dishes, I shouldn't be because I don't have the storage for them but sometimes I just can't resist a pretty plate or 2! Theresa
ReplyDeleteI think it is funny that they have a beautiful flower and an animal. Thanks for stopping over.
ReplyDeleteWe I was a kid our everyday dishes were a stack of mismatched whatever, oh, how I hated it then. But now I'm thinking how charming, good thing I grew up.

Love your shop-can't wait until I have more time to look everything over and make an order! My friend-Tete-from Beyond the Garden Gate ordered from you and loved everything! Thanks for visiting my site.
ReplyDeleteNice plates!! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Your impatiens really reseed???? Mine don't. Must get too cold here??
ReplyDeleteBlessings~
What sweet plates....and interesting combo of design: the flowers with the animals! Love the putz houses you've been working on and so good for you for doing it now and not in November (like me!)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
