A long story short was that we had to empty out my china cabinet to move said cabinet so the carpet guy could stretch and cut our grumpy carpet that had wrinkles in it, no cream didn't fix them ; (
Thus the picture taking because , I'm red faced here ... I never remember how I set it up and I have a touch of OCD, so if it isn't set up right (to my liking in other words) I will putter with it until I drive myself MAD and everyone else in the house LIKEWISE.
I know .................................. I am a head case but anyone who reads my blog ALREADY KNOWS that !
Part II of long story short .. the bottom dishes I bought in Holland, but are from the city of Limoges France .. where the famous and beautiful china was created.
The top china is about 60 years old and is called Pine Tree fine translucent china from Japan .. it has antique status now .. and if anyone out there has similar dishes I would love to hear from you !
Boy .. for some one who doesn't do this sort of thing I have droned on a LONG time haven't I ? .. No more tags .. for the sake of us all, PEOPLE !!!!!

Beautiful china, Joy! I take pictures like this, too--better not to trust the old memory these days:)
A belated Happy Birthday to Emma! She has grown into quite a lovely lady.
Hi Joy, what lovely dishes, I really love the pine tree ones but do not have them, sorry, for I do have lots of dishes from my grandmother. And a very happy birthday to Emma, no wonder everyone fell for her!
Frances
Loved the elegant china! /Deb
Really beautiful! A wonderful vision on a cold day.
Cameron
This is a beautiful photo of your china and what a lovely cabinet too. How very interesting to read about your china. I'm sure I'm not the only one who found this very interesting.
Diane
Hi Rose .. and "thank you !" from Emma .. isn't it weird thinking we are going downhill fast when we know we have to do things like this .. makes me crazy !! LOL
Frances .. thank you girl ! .. I have only run across another piece while searching .. a cup and saucer (I would have bid for it too but it was bought so quickly .. darn !!) .. Yes .. Emma looked like a very old little soul in a kitten body .. she made my heart jump when I saw her .. and of course the guys fell for her too .. Sophie eventually gave in ? LOL
Hi Deb .. thank you .. it is older than me so I have to keep it around ? wink wink : )
Hi Cameron .. I'm so far from talking plants and gardens with this .. will Spring ever come ???
Hi Diane .. it really is off topic .. but the tag thing snuck ? up on me .. you know how that can happen ? : )
Dear Joy,
I think photographing arrangements is a good idea...The digital camera is a great tool.
Lovely china! In the dish department we are minimalists. Just a nice white china and a few pottery serving bowls. But let me show you my tea cups!
Gail
I love that china. I think it sounds like something I might do too. LOL. I didn't tag with mine either, but it was fun just the same.
What a clever idea - digital cameras are so useful. Think of all the time that picture saved you when you came to refill the cabinet!
Beautiful china by the way.
Hi Gail . I never thought I would collect that type of thing either .. but Holland pushed a few buttons in me ? LOL .. I like minimalist tendencies too !
But you are a tea cup collector .. that is what I traced down for the older china and I missed bidding on it ..you don't have it do you ?? LOL
Cinj .. I love having something in the house that is way older than I am ? haha .. yes, this tag thing .. not really me ; )
Hi easy .. I actually cleaned inside the cabinet before putting the dishes back .. now ow great is that I ask you ?? haha
