Since everything was from thrift stores or ebay - I thought I'd share with the group over at Bloggeritaville for Thrifty Thursday!
I have an old egg basket full of cones we have collected . . .
And a punched tin basket - great for the holidays . . .
And a punched tin basket - great for the holidays . . .
There are shelves full of pine cone dishes . . .
And more shelves . . .
And yet more shelves . . .
They all live in this china cabinet in the living room - along with some other vintage things and a flock of white chickens - a story for another time . . .
I love this teapot - it is for left handed -
Or right handed - isn't that just handy? Pine cones on both sides . . .
There are stacks of plates - and platters and these two sizes of bowls . . .
I love the big flat soup bowls - these are great for chilly winter nights and a big pot of soup . . .
And don't for get the salt and pepper . . .
And a wonderful deviled egg tray that our son gave me for a gift one christmas . . .
I even have the tiniest little children's tea set . . .
The cream and sugar are just precious . . .
I like the pattern on the tea set - it is one of the things I got on ebay - to celebrate a new job . . .
So what is your favorite set of dishes? Or do you have more than one favorite?

I love your mini set. I collect mini teasets and mini tea cups. However, I don't have anything with pinecones; they're all floral.
ReplyDeleteLove the pinecones. I love dishes, and if I had my way, I'd be collecting them. They would just have to go in storage at this point.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite dishes are my apple dishes. They go well with the old farm house.
what a unique collection - I don't know anyone who collects pinecones!
ReplyDeleteYikes - I love your collection! I've wanted to collect pine cone dishes for years - how wonderful that you have all those pieces!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
How wonderful..I love your collection. The dishes are so pretty.. Happy VTT and have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteI remember pine cone dishes like that and that salt and pepper - - - oooooo la la!!!
ReplyDeleteOooo, I love pinecones too! I have that platter on the left in pic #4, and I have a stack of saucers too. All of your pinecones are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had my things out of storage..I have some fun dishes as well and I think I have a few pine cone plates ....I enjoyed your blog today.
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to collect those white chickens, they are great! Who produced those pine cone dishes, they are really so sweet!
ReplyDeleteLove those dishes and how you have it displayed !

I don't think I've ever seen pine cone dishes! Lovely. Especially the child's tea set. Great post. :)
ReplyDeleteYour pine cone collection is great! We are looking for moose things. Our daughter brought us some dishes with outdoorsy things with moose and deer, but not the whole set. So.....I am looking for the rest.
ReplyDeleteI don't know that I've ever seen any pine cone dishes before and now I'm in love. Wow, how wonderful. Love the egg basket too.
ReplyDeleteI think it is Roseville pottery that has a pinecone pattern too. I live in the "pine tree" state and you know what that means...lots of pine cones here!
ReplyDeleteYour pine cone collection is wonderful!
Love the pine cone china ... don't have any myself, but I remember similar patterns from when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteBut that flock of white chickens ... now that I LOVED. Made me smile, big time.

i love pine cones and have several baskets full of them too!!..i love that sweet little punched tin basket and my fav piece is the egg dish :)
ReplyDeleteI love the pinecones! Now when I see them, I will think of you! I loe the natural texture of them, so pretty on dishes!
ReplyDeleteI never see a pinecone dishware before and i like your dishes.. pretty! have a great day!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love your pinecone dishware. I have a couple of pieces, but nothing even close to a whole set. Loved this!! Have a great VTT!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE all of your pinecones. My mother lives in a cedar home in the middle of a pine ... grove... thicket..bunch of trees???? She calls her house "The Cabin in the Pines" and she love pinecone glassware too.
ReplyDeleteI love the pine cone decoration, and my favourite is the (left handed) teapot.
ReplyDeleteI also have pinecones in baskets. It's a great way to bring the outdoors in. Love the dishes.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot of pinecone dishware! :) It's lovely. My favorite dishes are my pottery plates and bowls that I've collected from around the U.S. - all of them are individually made, so nothing really matches. Then I just gave my sister my rooster plates. Those are pretty special to me as well - but I think she will love them even more :)
ReplyDeletethese are great for chilly winter nights and a big pot of soup . . .
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for soup weather & I gotta say, that is a lot of pinecones!
WOW! I've never seen any pine cone dishes. The S&P are too cute. I noticed that flock of chickens. We have a flock too. Ours are all different colors though.
ReplyDeleteWow! My mom had a set of the pinecone dishes, just like the first set you posted, when we were growing up. How neat to have that memory brought back to my mind. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful collection , JoAnn. I love pine cones too. I don't have any pine cone dishes though , I have colorful Fiesta ware dishes that I treasure.

I used to collect pinecones, too. Just in case I ever needed them. Had bags of them in my garage, too.I threw them all into the woodstove.
ReplyDeleteLoved your story about hijacking that piece of large driftwood onto the ferry! Ha ha...that sounds exactly like something I would do!!
