These three dinner plates were used when I was growing up. They are melmac and I remember well standing by a sink full of suds, washing each plate and thinking how pretty they were.
Through the years, I have collected pottery pieces with the same pretty bouquet of roses.

Your tablesetting is so very pretty. I love the vintage table cloth, and by the way it drapes in the photo I can almost feel it. It reminds me of the ones my own mother used to use that are worn out and long gone. Such pretty roses on those dishes.
