On Crooked Creek, there is n o lack of dinnerware!
Quite the contrary. . . to "Mr.Ed's" dismay!
So~o~o . . .
to complete the showing off our green. . .
I put the everyday dinnerware on my two~tier plate rack!
Actually, it was time I devised a practical solution to our over~flowing cabinets!
The built~in china cabinet On Crooked Creek is situated in close proximity to our dining room table.
Easy enough to grab a bowl for my morning cereal. . .
or a saucer for an afternoon salad or sandwich!
Faux eggplant and a porcelain pear ~ in some vintage bowls ~
bridge the distance between the plates and the ambient lighting!
The cook~book is a wedding gift from my beloved Aunt.
The McCall's Cook Book has been a valuable resource.
It is the "go~to" every year for timing the Thanksgiving Turkey and the Christmas Ham!
Dinnerware is easily replaced after a quick wash, and again, ready for daily use!

Very pretty. I like those plates on the plate stand.
A very nice way to store your everyday dishes, which are so pretty. Just grab a plate from a pretty display. How nice! You always have the lever ideas!
We will have a built in hutch in our new kitchen and it will be right besdie the breakfast room table. So, this would be the perfect idea for there! Thanks for the inspiration!!! I love this, and your green plates are so pretty. XO, Pinky
Having too many dishes is a good thing, isn't it?! Very pretty.
Pat, both are so beautiful. I love your china cabinet and your displays are gorgeous. I love the idea of the tiered rack, perfect. Hugs, Marty
Yes we have too many dishes too. I think I may need to (gulp) get rid of some; but then there's the deciding of who will go, kind of a Sophie's choice thing.
I love this idea. I am going to bring out our plate stand!
I gave the girls 6 cartons of Christmas dishes over the weekend. All the girls loved them, even the grand girls have some of them now. However, I still have a lot of dishes!
I echo the too many dishes thought but hey it could be worse...like an entire collection of five hundred dollar purses. That I do not get. I love stacked dishes just as you have done. I never do a real tablescape-I stack em.
Sooooo pretty!!
Hi Pat! I love this little set up you've put together! Lovely dishes and I just adore that wallpaper.
Thanks for popping in to see me.
be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
That sure is a pretty spot for your everyday dishes. You have a beautiful majolica collection too. I spend time figuring out where it all needs to go too. And I don't think I have that much. But I probably do! LOL!
Lov your ingenious way to deal with the dish affliction. Love the color of those plates!!! Oh i just read about the house painting.. I was planning on undertaking that myself. Now i'm worried. be blessed, xo marlis
Great ideas here, Pat. I don't have as many dishes as a lot of bloggers...my space is limited and I don't buy many dishes anymore.
Have a great day.
Pat, Thanks for sharing your tips for "show and store". My dish collection is slowly growing, so I'm going to need your ideas.
Hugs,
Babs
Your vignette is so cute and yet practical - love it!
I'm loving your show and store ideas. I have none left, even though I got new space on my new antique buffet to store treasures I had in cartons. Thank you for your lovely visit and good wishes. They're coming tonight, I can't wait to see them!! Have a wonderful Sunday.
Luv ya,
FABBY
