Depends upon the plates. Dinner plates

are white with thin blue line around the

circumference, if my memory serves correctly

(I'm not at home). Some other plates are just

white. Some bowls are white with a floral

design.

Hi all,

My name is Tia and I am a new member. I am a native southern Californian now

living in Portland OR...I became a vegetarian (for the most part) about 15 years

ago, out of concern for animals. About 5 years ago I became a vegan (except that

I do eat cage-free or naturally nested eggs and fish at times).

Lets see my dishes are white with wine aqua and gold trim.

My everyday plates are plain white Corelle.

My better set are cream colored with a brown border. They were made in Ireland

by a company that closed down years ago.

I don't have a fancy set.

There is pleasure in the pathless woods,

There is rapture in the lonely shore,

There is society where none intrudes,

By the deep sea, and music in its roar:

I love not man the less, but nature more.

the santa barbara arts festival. i wouldn't call them china, but i like them.

For fun, china: China??? are you kidding me? If I ever own a china

plate I will consider myself well-blessed. I belong to the " eat off

whatever you can find " crowd. I am poor.....

What is it now, with this " monthly roll call " ??? We never had this

before. Are we going to be deleted if we don't respond? If so, delete

me now, because I am busy writing my thesis. I don't have time for

idle chit-chat. If it is going to be one of thes " respond-or-else "

groups, I don't want to belong.

Oops, this monthly roll call has always been done here since I have been on

and I, for one, have enjoyed it keeping me oriented to who is where. I hope

that PT keeps it. It has never been a " requirement, " far from it and I don;t

think anyone gets kicked off if they don't respond. Sometimes a few respond,

sometimes many, but not all of the members and no problem.Those of us that

enjoy it respond knowing that it helps keep the lines open and this is a

really friendly group. I love the way that PT runs it, open to everyone and

all sorts of topics too.I think that you totally misunderstood which is too

bad, but this is not new to the list.

Thanks for this, linda. i am glad you get why we do the roll calls

and also that you enjoy them. They are a way for us to keep the

spirit of veggie community alive via the internet. i also enjoy

seeing where everyone is posting from.

This months " just for fun " part wasn't intended to make anyone

feel awkward or like they don't have nice enough plates.

Mine are antiques that my Grandmother gave me so mine were

free! And my Grams was poor, too. She got all of them by saving

these stamps the grocery stores used to give out when you'd buy

food. Once you spent so much you earned enough stamps for a

free plate in the Blue Willow pattern. i always thought that was

pretty cool she did that and i USE my plates rather than leaving

them sitting in some cabinet in honor of her frugal living.

Hand thrown pottery plates, fine china, mish-mashed collections,

Corell plates, or no plate at all... they are all good so long as we

are eating veggies!

I liked reading that about your Grandmother saving for the plates

from the market stickers.

Sometimes I just eat out of the frying pan lid. I don't have many

dishes but it don't matter, the food is good.

Mmmm, just in case I have inadvertently misled you into thinking

that I'm wealthy enough to commission my own pottery, perhaps I

should also have said that all my hand-thrown pottery comes thanks

to my best friend and his wife being potters, so my collection is

largely made up of birthday and christmas gifts over the last 20

years, hence the fact that it is an assortment rather than a set,

but loved all the more!
