I posted this shelf not long ago with the divided blue plates...
*
I told you that they belonged to my mom, years and years ago.
They are some of my favorite plates...in fact....I JUST LOVE 'EM..
They are vintage...
they are blue....
they are transfer ware at it's finest....
they belonged to my mother...
and........they are divided....
What's not to love?
**
The blue is such a deep color...
**
I had a brand new recipe to try this morning and decided
to serve it on my pretty blue plates...
*
SEASONED SCRAMBLED EGGS IN TOAST CUPS..
**
for this fabulous recipe, go here...
**
Her's is much prettier than mine..
the recipe calls for FRESH herbs and I didn't have a one..:(
*
I used dried spices and herbs and....
the eggs were delicious.
*
I had little tiny oranges with toasted pecans..
and a few slices of crisp, LEAN bacon...*
These little toast cups are just perfect for your scrambled eggs...
*
My muffin tin has fairly small cups..
I am thinking a little larger cup size would make your toast cups
fluff out around the edges a little more......
(good gosh...that was almost like sayin'
"a larger cup size would make your cleavage fluff out more")
**
It made a fabulous breakfast for MR. SWEET and myself this
cold, wintery morning....
Yes, ma'am...it sure was good...
**
O... and don't forget THIS !!

Oh the plates are stunning. I havn't seen the divided ones, but I just love them. What a wonderful heirloom. Breakfast looks just wonderful. Hugs, Marty
I do love those plates. I dont think I have ever seen divided china before! Youre breakfast looks fantastic, can you really eat all that stuff on your diet!? I want to go on that diet too!
I love your plates too. Knowing they were once your moms makes them even more special.
How fun to make a nice breakfast and use them.
Hugs,
Joanne
I love the plates, BJ. You must think of your sweet mother every time you use them. They were perfect for this meal. The toast cups look delicious and I'd like to try them. I have one of those muffin pans for making larger muffins, that might work...Scrumptious breakfast on gorgeous plates in front of that beautiful roaring fire. It doesn't get any better than that!!

BJ - get your mind out of the gutter would ya! Ha! I hope Mr. SN got a glimpse of that cleavage for Valentine's Day!!!
Mmmm... your breakfast looks delicious and I bet it was even better using your mom's plates! My mother's got nothing to hand down to us kids except maybe some really ugly Corelle. LOL
Justine :o )

Miss BJ- those plates are awesome. There's just something special about divided plates.
And that recipe...oh my goodness.

I love all vintage plates! I just happen to be bringing blue into my kitchen so I really am fond of yours....what a nice keep sake that is for you!!~
I like that plate too, BJ, and I am sure it is even more treasured because it was your mom's. Yummy food in it and I like the stove...Christine
The breakfast sure looks yummy that you served on your divided plates.
And, that fire looks toasty warm.
Hi BJness! Oh, you're always making me hungry! This looks so good and I do love those Blue Willow plates! I have a bunch of them but not divided ones.
Hope you've had a wonderful Valentine's Day!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I've never seen divided plates like that....they're beautiful! and that breakfast looks delicous! Happy Valentine's Day! Patti
Love your plates! I love blue willow, the story behind it, and the touch of home it reminds me of. How wonderful that the plates were your moms!
I love blue transfer ware..it is so classic!! I wanna come to your house for breakfast!!

Darling, I have to be honest and say that I can't decide which I like more, the plates or the scramble cups. It looks perfectly delicious. I am going to have to make some for my kids. Thanks for the idea!!
God Bless You!

I love your pretty blue plates, wonderful photos and mosaic. Your breakfast looks delicious!
I LOVE those plates too and I remember the post about that shelf that I LOVE! You make everything look so tasty! Yummy breakfast dear BJ! I'll be there shortly:) Have a blessed day!
Great photos of your plates, but those dried roses tumbling out of the basket looked so perfect.

Lovely! I love the idea of the divided plates. Those eggs look delicious off to check out that recipe. Thanks for sharing! ~Jeanne
I seem to remember Aunt Helen having some of those divided plates. I love this blue and white.
I bought reproduction Blue Willow at a grocery store, Saturday, on our way to see the g'kids, because they remind me of Aunt Helen. I'd love to have vintage, but alas, I don't have them. The new plates make me happy, because they bring memories of meals at my Aunt's.
I love it too including the foods hehehe.

The plates are wonderful -- so special. Now I'm hungry!
Your plates are wonderful and you just made my bran cereal seem like a really bad breakfast choice!

Mr. SN is one lucky man to have you for a decorator/cook. That breakfast look quite special whether or not the cups are large enough. Happy Blue Monday!
The blue plates are so pretty- and breakfast, now that looks great too.

I've always loved blue plates. And the breakfast looks scrumptious. But sweetest of all is the countdown to your 50th.
Hi BJ, I do love those divided plates. Lots of people hate their food to mix together. I for one do not care. Smiling. Love the food the plates and the wonderful fire. it is all good BJ.
Love xoxo, Jeanne
I love your plates, BJ, as I do love dark, navy shade of blue. My kitchen is a mixture of light blues and navy blues!.. with a little red here and there! This recipe looks good.. I just KNOW Dear Son would LOVE it! I may have to try that! Thanks, and Happy Blue Monday! ((hugs)) ~tina
Love the blue transferware! And the great food on them!

Woo-hoo I hear you won the giveaway w/Liz at Brambleberry Cottage. Love her Texas photo over there. I love Texas. I love "West" Texas and "South" Texas and "Central Texas" and "North Texas" and "East Texas". I love Texas. There was a day when I'd leave it. Not any more! Okay, maybe I should consider posting about that? I ramble. See ya! Congrats! Jenn <><
Your eggs look delicious and I love the way you've set the table. It must be so nice to use your mother's dishes. They are lovely. Have a great day...Mary
I love the plates..Happy Blue Monday
Hi BJ,
I don't think that I have ever seen plates like that in china.
They are so lovely and you are fortunate to have them.
My son would love them because he hates for his food to touch! Geeze!
You have made me so hungry, and I have a cold, so like they say, feed a cold or is it starve a cold???
Thanks for wishing my sister a Happy Birthday. And enough with the bawlin already, you have a big family, so that makes up for not having a sister.
Love the bra comment.
Well, first of all, let me tell you I'm a new follower.I mean, how could I NOT follow a blog which plays "Somebody's Knockin'"????I love '70's and '80's country music and my kids know if they hear Conway and Loretta...Mama's cleaning something today.It's good working music;)
Hope you enjoyed your yummy breakfast and thanks for visiting me!
You're right, grill plates are so cool! I used to like eating off them when I was a kid since I didn't like my different foods touching each other! (I've grown out of that, fortunately!)
Love those plates and the food looks great! Have a great week.
Those are wonderful plates and so special because they came from your mother. The recipe looks delicious too :-) The little floral basket up on your shelf is like one we have. One of my girls has used it for her Easter basket.
Blessings,
Marcia
Hi BJ, I love your plates, too...especially with all of that yummy food on them! OMG...you just made me soooo hungry! L, Dana
What beautiful blue and white transferware plates! I love blue and white and have a large collection them. They always look pretty on a table or with delicious food on them! Great treasure from your Mom!
Miss Bloomers/Sonia
Oh, I do love those blue and white plates! Beautiful!!
Those divided blue plates are so unusual... Oh and what time is breakfast?
~Really Rainey~
Great! 3 sections. One for M&M's. One for Oreos, and one for mixed nuts.
That way you can eat a balanced meal.
:-)
Very pretty, dear BJ! and thank you for participating in our "SOYCM".... I took a couple of days off and was late posting, but I'm happy to see you participating... may you and yours be blessed!
cielo
Very pretty! I like those little birds on the plates!
Those divided plates are wonderful; we had some similar when I was a little girl, and my sister and I loved to have lunch on them. We thought they were so fancy because they had separate compartments for the food!
And your breakfast. Oh YUM.
