Turquoise Florentine

Spent too much time this afternoon practicing with my new camera. My mother would be happy to know that I was actually using my 'good' china for something. :)
Beautiful china....I am trying to use my grandmother's china more often rather than waiting for a special occasion. Life is too short, right? :-)

This is gorgeous!!! Love!!

This made me laugh, using the "good" china. So true. Fun shot with you new camera.
January 4th, 2011  
Beautiful!
January 4th, 2011  
Gorgeous china; love the way you've cropped it, Peggy, and beautifully composed. Lovely shot.
January 4th, 2011  
Love the layout! The title and caption are awesome, too :)
January 4th, 2011  
I love the layout!
January 4th, 2011  
Beautiful china and a beautiful shot. Love the composition you have chosen.
January 4th, 2011  
Gorgeous image. Inventive design.
January 4th, 2011  
Beautiful composition...
January 5th, 2011  
This is just gorgeous, and you captured it beautifully!
January 5th, 2011  
Love the dark contrast and the crop! Beautiful china - I'm pretty sure I could never eat off it!
January 5th, 2011  
That is nice china and good luck with your camera.
January 5th, 2011  
Beautiful china and great shot of it.
January 5th, 2011  
Your "good" china is gorgeous Peggy, and I love the cropping too. It's much more interesting to not do the whole round thing. The colors in this shot just pop. Beautiful!!
January 5th, 2011  
Ha ha, glad you've brought out the good china! And have fun with your new camera!
January 5th, 2011  
Wow. This china is absolutely stunning!
I would have used it a lot!

Thanks for the very nice comments, everyone! When I was looking for something blue theme related to practice photographing, it surprised me how little blue there was to be found in my house...so the good stuff was put into service. @Sheri ~ your candy dish shot started it all. :)
January 5th, 2011  
Gorgeous china!! Really great shot Peggy :)
January 5th, 2011  
This is gorgeous China! I would be using it every day--and one by one, it would be broken and gone, lol. I have to stick with ugly Corelle just because I have tendency to break things (:
January 5th, 2011  
and that said--I promptly stood up minutes after posting that and knocked my one glass bowl off the coffee table with my foot. Who knew they would shatter like that? Ugh
January 5th, 2011  
Great shot Peggy, beautiful china! I'd be afraid to use it for fear of breaking even a single piece. I absolutely cannot find anything blue to take a picture....as usual I'm probably overthinking it!! :) Your picture reminds me though that I do have a LOT of Polish Stoneware that is primarily blue....you've given me an idea so if out of desperation I take a picture of that for the theme I will give you credit for the inspiration behind the picture!! :)

Makes me hungry, Peg
January 5th, 2011  
@peggysirk If the candy dish shot helped, I'm honored!! The way I see it, we're here to inspire each other. :)
January 5th, 2011  
Absolutely beautiful china - now you need to really use it. Maybe once a month for a special night?
January 6th, 2011  
"My mother would be happy to know that I was actually using my 'good' china for something. :)" THAT IS TOO FUNNY )and a lovely shot)
January 6th, 2011  
nice pic (and great camera :-)....)
January 6th, 2011  
this is gorgeous...
January 6th, 2011  
Your beautiful set of china is on the popular page, Peggy!
January 6th, 2011  
Gorgeous china and beautiful shot! Send your china to me and i'll promise your mom i'll use it often...lol
January 6th, 2011  
I love the color of your china! Awesome shot.
January 6th, 2011  
this is beautiful, i love the color!
January 6th, 2011  
this is so pretty I love the colours but the question is: is it the beautiful china or the new camera - personally I would say it is the photographer :) Hope you are enjoying your new camera
January 6th, 2011  
Nice subject
January 6th, 2011  
@fluffy @bluemoon @orbearider @wwhite13 @gingersanders @andycoleborn @hillsgirl @stephd @firethearson @cathyzasa @rylenlui14 Thanks for the comments, everyone! You've given me a new appreciation of my china. :)
January 6th, 2011  
@dora Thanks, Dora! I do love my new camera...but still have so much to learn before I feel comfortable with it.
January 6th, 2011  
@clarissajohal Ooops! Precisely why I don't use the 'good' stuff...at least not often. :) Not to mention the fact that it should be washed by hand. Ugh.
January 6th, 2011  
@girlie Wow...thanks for pointing that out. I never would have expected that!
January 6th, 2011  
This one caught my eye on PP, so lovely!
January 6th, 2011

January 6th, 2011
