I love plates!

I have a fascination with vintage plates. My own personal collection is always expanding and can sometimes be seen in pictures that I take of food that I’ve cooked. There’s no preference given to any particular era, or pattern, or style ~ it’s a “I’ll know it when I see it” kind of thing. I love to peruse estate sales, flea markets and the like for that next piece to add to my collection. The thrill of the hunt is the best part of all. Plus, I love a bargain ~ I don’t believe I’ve paid more than $1 for a single plate (and probably far less). I was recently browsing the vintage section of Etsy, where I found some great prospects to add to my collection. Aren’t these cool?!?
