Another Cake Plate

This green depression glass cake plate is at home in my china cabinet, along with all those other mementos of my life and past generations. It was difficult to catch the beauty of the "sunflowers" in the photograph. The plate was someone else's family heirloom that I purchased at an estate sale several years ago on a trip back to Iowa. I really love those estate auctions, but, have to control myself on bidding on everything I would like to have. I would have to purchase another china cabinet and where would I put that ??

The Chosen One

The soft green depression glass cake plate ! The piece I would have chosen if I would have had first choice of the 3 pieces described yesterday. The plate that all birthday cakes appeared upon in all the years of growing up. The plate that was used for any cake for any special occassion ! AND, it now has a special place in MY china cabinet. A few years ago, when helping my brother after he had a heart attack, he told me I should have it. Who am I to argue ? Yes, I get all the good stuff !!!
