Lilacs have always been my favorite of mine. <br />Now they are even more special to me, I married & have the last name of Lilak!:) I love it! I have several mismatch plates, cups & saucers but have been looking for an older almost complete dinnerware set. Hopefully I will find a collection as beautiful as your grandmothers one day. <br />Enjoy them, they are truly special. I have nothing special this this from my mother or grandmother, but my very special Mother In Law has passed down some beautiful displace plates, cups, misc prices that I will cherish for my life time, @ plan on handing them down to my children. <br />Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures!!<br />Thank you,<br />Cristina Cglilakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18094145661356104316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86840151648374849.post-3705895503696803882011-03-26T10:29:01.079-07:002011-03-26T10:29:01.079-07:00Anita....I am still happily traveling through your...Anita....I am still happily traveling through your blog.....love this post.

What I love most is the way you have taken sentimenal and every day items to make a beautiful and exquisite tablescape. There is so much meaning to and enjoyment one can derive when using things that touch the heart. Lilacs are my favorite and you are so fortunate to have access to such beautiful and complimentary dishes.Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12343303791801390272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86840151648374849.post-46339129146937035122010-05-11T06:47:32.445-07:002010-05-11T06:47:32.445-07:00Anita...somehow I missed this table and am so glad...Anita...somehow I missed this table and am so glad I saw it today!
