Sadly I forgot about it until recently when Penny over at Penny's Vintage Home posted these photos. She made a collection of flowers and plates in an old enameled wash basin!
Here she added a cup and some small figurines...
And I've been a cup and plate collector for a long time so I don't know why I didn't do this years ago!!
Here's where I'll be sharing:

ReplyDeleteThank you and hope to see you again soon!
DeleteYour version is so pretty....I love your choice of flowers! I think my favorite pot is the one with the dalia flowers and blue morning glory (?) plate. hugs....
ReplyDeleteForgot to mention that I am stopping by from Amaze me Monday! You have such a lovely blog....I'll be stopping by again! Have a blessed week
ReplyDeletePlease do come again Penny!
DeleteI also saw photos of old plates in gardens some years ago and wanted to do something similar. I never did. You have now inspired me to rethink my garden. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I tried it Carol, I've had so many compliments!
DeleteGreat idea. I have a collection of plates but don't think I can do that.
ReplyDeleteI understand Deborah! I would never use my Mom's or Grandmother's plates that I have. I picked these up at the thrift shop for $1.oo each!
DeleteIt looks like I'll have to start collecting old dish plates! Yours look so nice and what a great idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at Cooking and Crafting with J & J! :)
Just pick plates up at the thrift store for a dollar or two!
ReplyDeleteWow...how pretty! :)
