I've Got The Blues! I'm Talking Dishes, That Is!

Gee, I can't believe that it has been 

almost a week, since I last posted!  

The time just flies by when you are

doing other things....I said that I would

start showing you all, some of my 

collections,  so I will start with some 

of the blue  and white dishes I have 

gotten, so far.

Here is one setting of the dishes, called

"Historical Ports of England"....I got a few

plates, some cake plates, cups and saucers,

to start out with and I have been hunting 

for them for about a year and a half, I 

think.

I found the gravy boat in TX, then later, 

some plates in TX....I got 4 cups in another 

place in TX, then some plates and saucers 
in Kansas, and the last things I found, 
were the sugar and creamer, one has a 
crack.....But, I don't care, these dishes 
are hard to find!

So, far I have at least 8 of all the dishes, 

except for the bread or dessert plate, which

I only have six....So, I will still be hunting 

for them....Oh, the thrill of the hunt!  I have

decided to quit buying some of the things,

that I have collected.....Getting way too 

much to dust!

This is the back of the plate, which has

"The port of Bristol"...

                                Close up of the plate....

The cup and saucer, has the "Port

of Hull" on it.

In this first picture, again, you will see

that cake or bread plate are the same

scene, the berry bowl only shows part

of it....They are both "Port of Plymouth."

 I can tell that this gravy boat is really 

old,and it has a different label on the 

bottom, as do the berry bowls and the 

sugar and creamer.

The newer ones have a ribbon across the 

ship with the port name in it, where as the 

older ones do not have the ribbon, the

port is written under the ship. I have a few 

more blue and white dishes, that do not

go with the set, but I liked them....I will

show you them, on the next post.

We got several inches of snow and Chum

didn't know what to think about it!  He 

went out and huddled under the bird

feeder.  He does not like the cold, if he

goes out and it is cold, he wants back in

and he is not too fond of the snow, either.

He was just out when hubby was filling

the bird feeder and he was scratching on

the windows of the French doors, wanting

back in the house.

I hope you all are careful if you have to 

go out in the snow and ice.  We have some

ice under the snow and I am staying home.

Until next time....
