Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt, January 24th
This week's theme for Photo Hunters is chipped. B helped me think of something to take a picture of, and I got it done and onto the computer in the last 15 minutes. I love technology! ;-)
I have a set of Noritake "Stepping High" dishes I registered for when I got married. This was just before Target and Wal-Mart had bridal registries--can you imagine that? I registered at Dillard's and my college friend Janet was with me when I picked them out. I remember her telling me, "Just pick something already!" But see, I'm talking about my dishes 17 and a half years later. It was an important decision, and extra time than thought was needed.
This pattern is discontinued, so I was really upset when I chipped the first dish and broke a dinner plate completely. I had 9, so I'm still good to host a party of 8. (I'll take the chipped one.) By the way, do not set dishes directly upon a hot eye on the stove---that's how I got this lovely center cut of my plate. I think I will put it into a backsplash someday.
Go to TNChick's site to see more chipped pictures or join in the hunt. Next week's theme is furry. I will be busy next Saturday taking a test for my teaching certification, but I hope to post my selection sometime that day.
Happy birthday, Janet!!

I like how the chipped plate is round - gives it some character. Even with the breakage it still holds wonderful memories.
ps: Love the hat painting - That is pretty awesome!!

Great photo! I hope you won't chip more plates in the future :)
Mine's up too.

What a pretty pattern!
I have seen a new trend of people having jewelry made from their chipped dinnerware.
My grandmother gave me her mother's china. There's quite a few chipped pieces. We thought about sending it in to make pendants for necklaces.
I like your idea about a backsplash also!

I vote for putting it in the backsplash... great idea! It is a lovely choice... worth the time in making it.

Oh dear, if I did chipped dishes for today, I'd have had to set out all my kitchen cabinets! lol!
I did Photo Hunters today, too. I hope you get a chance to visit.

Great shot of the "chip" and lesson on what not to put on a hot stove! I started my gas post when the price go over $3 last spring.

I guess u'll never want to part with this no matter how further chipped the plates become since it's embedded with precious memories. THanks for sharing.
