I,too,love washing pretty dishes by hand...Sometimes,especially,when they've come from a secondhand purchase,and the dishes are dirty and dusty...Then,to see their true beauty revealed when they are washed! Thanks for the good thoughts and smiles for today :-)
My hubby always tells me to stop buying plates that can't go in the dishwasher, i tell him that he doesn't have to wash them, so he should stop moaning!
Good morning Sweet friend, I actually like washing dishes (CrAzY...I know) Didn't even own a dishwasher for the first 15 years of marriage...but have most definitely crossed over now. Ya, one o'clock sounds fine. Am cleaning the studio today, so if I don't answer the door, just come around the back of the house...far side of the shop. See you soon!!!! R
Not crazy, I only hand wash special dishes too. Love the red cups at SB's and right now some of the chai latte flavors of my!!! Caramel or pumpkin, swoon!
I never think about this as being pretty...but it is! I love to hand wash vintage linens. I just bought one today that I will put in a basin of lavender suds! Enjoy your weekend! ♥
I have to admit that washing dishes by hand is not one of my favorite things. Right now, I have a box full of vintage cups & saucers waiting patiently for me to wash and display them. Maybe I will wash them this weekend and be glad that I did when I see them sparkling at me from their shelf! Thanks for the lovely post! xoxo Jina
There is something "homey" about washing dishes by hand. I'm enjoying a cozy day by the fire here in Oregon... relaxing after a very busy day yesterday. Hope you come visit my blog, I put up some photos of my trade bead collection.. I think you'll enjoy it. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
girl!~ there is nothing crazy about you! I am the same way......collecting dishes that bring a smile to my face has always been a passion of mine...they are actually a delight to wash....and it's a must washing them by hand in my books.....they stay nicer longer!
and if it is crazy...then sign me up...cause I wanna be crazy right there along side you!
Oh yes I love that too ! It's honoring my pretty dishes ! I also love to reorganise them ..... and I talk to the ones who were a bit neglected ...... I wish I had a bigger BIG house after my birthday . I have so many beautiful bouquets ... and presents and ...... and you know ....I love to keep all the beautiful papers they were wrapped in TOO ! and paper bags ...love them too ! Saskia wrapped her present in a beautiful golden wrappingpaper and now there are golden glitters everywhere ....on the floor , on the couche ....they are very tiny so you just see them once and a while but OH HOW I LOVE THAT . Have a wonderful weekend Koralee ....
how funny! i kind of know what you mean. i feel that way when i come home with something i found. i can't wait to wash it up :) enjoy the weekend!! xo susan
it's that time of year again! I'm sorry I cannot support your love of handwashing dishes, maybe in a huge white farmhouse sink and if the dishes really are pink, maybe.
Good morning Koralee! You know my fondest memories with my grandmother {she passed on when I was only 14} were of having tea with her pretty teacups and dishes. We would then spend the afternoon taking all the dishes out of her china cabinet, washing them, polish up the cabinet and put them all back in their places. My mother wanted me to have those dishes since they are such a heartfelt joyful memory of my Nonni. Aren't vintage dishes the prettiest kind of dishes ever?! Wishing you a lovely weekend dear ♥ *xoxo* Maria
ONLY YOU, could make a chore that I have grown tired of, more appealing, when a tinge of pink and blue and BEAUTY radiate from within...oh Koralee, you are amazing; you are a poet of the simple things in life. You make them MORE IMPORTANT through your lens of not only your camera, but your heart....big hugs to you sweet and beautiful friend...LOOK UP! Anita
Dearest sweet koralee, i wish and hope one day i could be invited to your beautiful home! I just love all your gorgeous collection of plates and cups. They are so beautiful! I hand wash all my dishes too because we don't have a dish washer here and these machines are just not too popular around here. Have a lovely merry happy weekend and love to you!
That's wonderful, I remember my mother saying we always had to wash the good china by hand. I didn't like it as a little girl, of course, but now I appreciate it. My daughter even enjoys washing her little china plates in the 'big' sink with bubbles. :)
A gorgeous image there.. I am one of those odd ducks who actually prefers washing all dishes by hand...especially those very dear ones. It's just a great opportunity to reflect and slow down time a bit. And I do love those Starbucks red cups!
GOOD MORNING SWEET FRIEND! Still doing dishes? WHY NOT? With dishes so pretty, who would not want to linger over pretty pink suds? AND I FOUND THE MOST WONDERFUL AQUA BLUE dish soap by Dawn!!!!
I LOVE YOUR NEW LOOK TO THE BLOG DEAREST! It looks as if you stretched the margins and now have a light blue/white background; I did the same months ago and I love it.
PEACE TO YOU THIS SUNDAY; I have laryngitis so it will be peaceful here today!
I kind of like hand washing dishes too, they don't get spotty that way. I always hand wash my favorite coffee cups. Speaking of red...I just bought a wonderful red coffee cup. Just a plain little thing, but it will be my Christmas cup for this year.
I do the same thing! Some of them are so old and have lasted so long without breaking that I just love to put warm soapy water in the sink and clean them. I do the same with old silverware. I always use a real vintage linen cloth to dry them! A little ritual that is theraputic!
We don't have a dishwasher and therefore have to wash everything by hand. But I certainly wouldn't call you crazy for washing your lovely dishes by hand, I'd do it too if I had such beautiful dishes or cups, even if I would have a dishwasher ;-) Bye, Have a lovely new week, Marian

Everything done with LOVE is beautiful! Just like your picture! xox
I'm not really into washing dishes :(
But I can see that yours are so lovely,
no wonder you enjoy washing them... Have a wonderful weekend!
Pretty plates and love your paper cases on your last post too ,lovely colours xxx
I completely understand that!!
My hubby always tells me to stop buying plates that can't go in the dishwasher, i tell him that he doesn't have to wash them, so he should stop moaning!
I wash my "delicate" dishes by hand also, with love. I think washing dishes in one of those "calming" chores , like sweeping.
Blessings~
Pretty dishes are a joy to wash indeed, and yours are super pretty!
I love yous picture!!
Kisses,Olgianna!!

This is so good for them also it hydrates the china so they don't chip as easy, they say you should do this twice a year....
This photo make me want to take a bubble bath! Such pretties! Have a good weekend, Koralee!
sounds perfectly normal to me!!!!
xo,
Lulu
So happy you found me, so I could find you!! LOVE your bog!
Wish you a wonderful Sunday, sweet Koralee!!!

Hi Koralee,
You make every chore, seem such a joy to do.
I love your pretty dishes and yes, they really do need to be washed by hand.
Hope you are having a happy weekend

Hello Koralee!
A gorgeous image there..
I am one of those odd ducks who actually prefers washing all dishes by hand...especially those very dear ones. It's just a great opportunity to reflect and slow down time a bit.
And I do love those Starbucks red cups!
Thank you for the beauty!
Hugs,

Pretty dishes with a gold border should be washed by hand... pity that sometimes I feel to lazy to use them... and wash them!
Ciao
