When my Mom and Dad were married in 1954
my Grandma Alley painted a wedding plate for them.
I just love the lady and gentleman on this plate!
The next one, would be me - when I was born. The plate had a spot of rust on it
when I got it out this time, and I got most of it off - but not all.
Then, when I was married, I got the one below. I cherish it, mainly because I don't thinkshe made them for anyone else in the family.
I wish she'd continued on, and made them for our kids too. I also wish I were talented enough to make them for my Grands - but I don't think my Grands are going to get attached to "things" quite like I do! Ha! Thanks for stopping by, and please leave a comment. I'm linking to Vintage Thingie Thursday at the below address:

That is priceless! How wonderful that you have ones from your marriage and your mom and dads! They look alot some tin doll dishes I had as a kid, similar design!
ReplyDeleteThese remind me of a favorite plate at my mother's house. Yours are extra special, though, because they are hand painted. I would cherish them!
ReplyDeleteHow precious! The couples made me think of a place called Ferrel's that we went to for ice cream when I was little. The decor and employee's clothes were that same era. Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteBrought back memories . She made them for wedding gifts around Ash Grove , but then got into painting pictures and did not make them any more. love you, keep them and remember MOM.
