Treasures… 3
My initial idea for a wall in my dining room was to hang a collection of six, fruit pie plates. It wasn’t long after I hung them that I was inspired to add something else and then something else…
There is jewelry that can be easily removed if I want to wear it. There are sweet, food and water bowls that our cat, Tabby, used. There’s a platter and plates, saucers without their cups, a bowl and a framed picture of bowls, a metal bird and an eggcup. There’s a cat mosaic that one of my daughters made many years ago. There’s also a trivet and a lovely, Michigan handkerchief. The 12, small, salt plates belonged to my mother’s mother. There’s an intricate, three-tiered origami piece and a teapot-shaped tea bag holder.
I enjoy looking at this eclectic, treasure-filled wall every day – a combination of art and history. We never know where an idea may take us, do we…

Loved the collection and the bird nesting on the fruit plate is sweet. What a treasure Katie’s cat mosaic is! And I’m glad t know what the stack of tiny plates in my stoneware collection is for — Salt! (I use them as tea bag holders.)
