tuesday's treasures

i am a plate collector

i don't remember the actual year i started my collection

but it was in the late 70's

and

i DO remember my very first plate

we were at a mall here in phoenix, and they were having a plate show

i was just browsing

and

when i saw this plate....i just fell in love with it.

my sweet husband bought it for me..

and that was the beginning

i don't buy many anymore, but my dad continues to add to my collection

our home is filled with these plates, and sometimes i need to remind myself to stop and really look at them and appreciate all the beautiful detail and design of each one....and to enjoy all the memories
