My Saucer Collection

If you've been reading my blog for a while you know about me and my collections.
One of the things I look for are pretty saucers and by now I have quite a few.
A year or so ago we got rid of our dishwasher ( that didn't do a good job) and my DH built this cupboard which fits into that space.  In the top drawer DH put an old dishwasher rack 
and I found it to be the perfect spot to keep my saucers. I can see them all at a glance and choose which one I want to use for my snack. 



Another thing I find hard to resist are little drawers. Some are from old sewing machines, others I don't know where I've picked them up.


Lately I've found quite a few lovely saucers but that top drawer was full so I asked DH if he would cut a piece of another dishwasher rack to fit the bottom of this drawer.


                               Works perfectly!


The drawer sits beside the middle-sized plates in the holder that was also made by my talented hubby.
I like to have pretty things out where I can see and enjoy them.
Here's a peek at how they look in my kitchen.



Thanks for visiting,

I love to read your comments so don't be shy.

    That was very fun to read! You are quite creative in your displaying, and your hubby is so helpful and gifted! You know, I've found that cups take up a lot of space, but you can have quite a stack of saucers in not too much space. Your drawer is genius! I also like to use saucers as little plates for snacks. Just makes sense!

    Very pretty, very organized, but I wouldn't give up my dishwasher for them.

    Oh this is such a great idea! I have a collection of Homer Laughlin pieces, without a place to display but only a few. I love the feel of these old pieces and wonder at the stories they could tell.
