Maple Leaf

I found these sweet salad plates last night at Goodwill while out

getting groceries.  It is so handy to have a Goodwill near your

grocery store ~ makes getting groceries so much more enjoyable, especially

if you save the Goodwill stop for last.

I only found 4 plates, but anytime your find an even number of plates

at Goodwill, it's a plus.

They aren't from England or France, but I couldn't resist their

sweetness.  They were made by Homer Laughlin here in the USA.

They are the softest shades of cream, pink and green ~ my

favorite combination, with scalloped gold edges.

I guess I wasn't paying very close attention, because I was very 

surprised when I got them home and discovered the pattern is

called "Maple Leaf".  I thought those were little pink flowers.

I paired them with one of my favorite dinner plates, my mismatched

vintage silverware, a vintage doily for a napkin and a pink goblet.

I purchased them for my Etsy shop, but even doing this post, I find

myself getting more and more attached to their sweet beauty.  It 

will be hard to part with them.  I must find a way to keep from

falling in love with everything I buy.  Woe is me ~ what's a girl to do?
