I'm sharing my motto plate collection this Friday. This plate is special because a friend gave me the plate above as a house warming present for the first house we owned and it started this small collection. It combines so many things I love, plates for one and words. I love things with words or monograms on them. It's such a lovely sentiment don't ya think?
How true is that?! This one I found at a thrift store but all the rest came from ebay. I've been searching and searching for others. But usually I find the same ones I have but only in different colors
I have them displayed along the side of my china cabinet in my living room. I may start hanging plates from the ceiling - I've kinda met my capacity for plates and storage (although there's still room on the side of this cabinet that needs filling)!
Have a wonderful weekend!

I dont think I have ever noticed many motto plates before. Yours are so pretty and I love the sentiments.
What a lovely idea for a collection.
Happy hunting for more and thanks for sharing :)
Love the motto plates!
I collect church plates. They are a border in my kitchen...and I have begun a second row underneath the top row.
I am going to notice the motto plates from now on.
Happy Friday!
Hi Manuela
Had no idea you were back again! I've enjoyed catching up with you, this morning.
Hi Manueal, I just found your blog and am so glad that you are back in blogging land again. I really missed your blog.
Welcome back!
Those are really cool. I know the feeling of running out of space :) I have boxes in my garage of decor items that I rotate since there's not room for everything
What a great idea to hang the plates on the side of your china cabinet! I have never seen that before.
I love all your beautiful plates! I have never thought about Motto plates! What a great idea!
Love, Ann
HI Manuela! Great plates!! What a clever idea placing them on the side of the cabinet. Love it:)
In all of the years I have been antiquing, I don't think I have ever seen a motto plate. Love the way you have displayed them. Take care, Sally
I love the plates and the sayings are so special.
I love those plates and their sayings! I really like how you displayed them too! Creative!
What a lovely collection of plates!
I really love the first one's sentiment-so sweet. Where you displayed them is awesome!
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
I think the only thing prettier than printed plates is printed plates with pretty sayings! I love them along the side of your cabinet-smart use of space.
I love plates! Those are very nice ones.
I have seen motto plates and remember one hanging on the wall in our middle room when I was a child. It was pretty and these are too. Such pretty pictures and wonderful words.
Blessings,
Mary
hey...you've got an award over at my place :)
Hi, your plates are beautiful and the sayings are too. If ever I'm out and run across any I'll be sure to keep you in mind. Deb
Those are beautiful and timeless thanks for visiting my blog. I can't wait to read some of your new posts.

I just found your blog and am so glad that I did. I spent WAY too much time browsing your archives at midnight. We have lots in common...Dave Ramsey, Tightwad Gazette, couponing, thrift stores, manager of our homes etc etc. Excited to have found a fun new blog (or "old" for you...new to me. )
I don't think I've ever seen motto plates. What a great thing to collect. I'll have to keep a look out for them. Mimi
That's a great place to hang your plates.
I love the way you've decorated your screened in porch. I'm with your hubby in leaving the buffet the way it is. I like the softness that it brings to the room. I can see why you love that area of your house. It's lovely!
I have the top one on your cabinet ( not shown in your post). At least I think it is the same..."When this you see, think of me". My dear friend Jane gave it to me many years ago.

Unique plate collection. I love plates also but usually only find the floral ones.
I love that collection! I've never seen plates like that before. Wonderful sentiments.
