my favorite dish, or rather dishes along with my cups, glasses and plates, would be everything with a history. whether i bought it with a friend on a special trip, just before leaving my country with the one i love. or if it's that single part of a whole set that was given to me, knowing that brothers and cousins have their unique parts as well. or if it's those dishes i have looked at my entire childhood and adult life, but never actually used, inherited from my great grandmother, the things i found on the flea market just after moving to israel. so many favorites, each containing a story, a memory or a time in my or my family's life. all of which i remember and cherish every time i take a bite, a zip, pour a glass or just look at it as it stands in the kitchen cabinette.

thank you so much for all your birthday wishes yesterday. i had a wonderful day. and thank you for your sweet words on my camera loss. i am still bummed, it's probably gone. it's in the nikon lab in tel aviv now, but i am not optimistic, since they weren't. now i know: never ever switch on an electrical equipment if it has been in contact with water. and now you know too. being without a camera will be my challenge in the coming days/week. to post old photos or find images from other sources. that could actually end up being a fun experiment.
wishing you a lot of fun too.
Yes, isn't amazing how so many stories are wrapped up in the dishes we own? I didn't realize how many "stories" I had until this cv, and it was hard for me to choose just one. I like your approach...the whole cabinette! - and your dishes are lovely too :)
ReplyDeleteI love your dishes..guess you would be very happy in my kitchen cupboard
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty dishes you have. And I love the way you point out that the dishes we have can connect us deeply with home and family. Great Corner View!
ReplyDeletehappy belated birthday to you!!
ReplyDeleteAnd those are all great reasons to choose which is your favourite dish.
Nicely done.
rats! i missed your birthday! i'm distressed to hear about your camera loss but i know you'll find a creative way to compensate while it's fixed or replaced...
ReplyDeleteOOOOO--I love the blue of the pitcher and its simple form. And I really love those orange-rimmed teacups. So pretty and unusual. Thanks for the corner view!

ReplyDeleteWe are planning a new kitchen and i'd love some cupboards with little windows and old dishes!
Oh, you have some treasures in there! Especially love the two eat cup sets on the bottom picture.

I share your sentiment about old dishes.
ReplyDeleteHope your birthday was wonderful ... pretty stuff on your shelves :-)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for you about your camara loss!
joyce´s idea made me stop and think about the history a lot of my dishes have. it´s amazing how much emotion can be tied to an object... keeping my fingers crossed that your Nikon has a miraculous recovery! besos!
ReplyDeletepretty blue can on the top pic and I agree with the history/emotional attachment bit. I'll have to start stealing my mum's pretty china soon.
ReplyDeletei love the little tea pot with the blue.. reminds me of my grandmother :))
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dishes with many histories. Good luck with your camera.
ReplyDeletelove the light blue one! especially it's shape
