It was time to say good-by to the Vintage Wedgewood dishes I found in a secondhand store.
If you recall my earlier blog about these two early Wedgewood “Blue Palisade” Chinoiserie Pattern Plates, from 1810 to 1830. (Or at least according to my research they are from that era but I’m not an expert in Wedgewood, so not totally sure on that).
The dishes are painted blue with a scene of a fenced in garden, bamboo, and peonies with some mild age related conditions on the back. So they are very old, delicate, and lovely.
Time to Say Good-By to Vintage Wedgewood Pieces
I had the two dishes packed in paper and packing material on my closet floor. I was busy and forgot they were on the floor and almost knocked them over. In their antique condition, they would have broke.
So that told me in my heart, it was time to donate them to a historic site so more people could enjoy them. That is, if they are put on display.
Faux Squirrel and Acorn Sugar Cookies
The second part of the donation consists of faux food I was making for the same historic place. I completed the faux squirrel and acorn sugar cookies, meringues, and a couple of pieces of taffy.
As I was packing the squirrel cookies, one of the dot eyes fell off. Oh boy, get the white household glue out and again and re-glue that.
Ending Notes of Good-by Vintage Wedgewood
I took care in packing up every thing especially the vintage Wedgewood which was placed in an old shoebox with packing material.
As I was driving there, I made sure the box didn’t fall off my seat.
I dropped off the items and left them with two volunteers in the basement office on a desk.
Good-by Vintage Wedgewood, I think I found you a good home at the historic manor house!
