Diane over at A Picture is Worth 1000 Words is hosting 2nd Time Around Tuesday. Look around and find that 2nd hand treasures that you've found or re-purposed and join in the fun!
As I reached for this platter on which to serve our Easter dinner ham, I thought how useful it has been over the years. I have received compliments on how pretty it is several times. I found this at Good Will many years ago. It has a vintage look to it and is just the right size for most meat entrees.
(click on picture to see a close-up of the design)It has a worn gold trim around the edge, which adds a kind of elegance to it - and makes me think that it has been well used in the past. I often wonder where it came from and who used it to serve her meals before it came to my table...

Very pretty. I love the flowers! And you're right, I wonder how many times that platter was used and by whom!
Not only is your platter lovely, but it's useful. That makes it so very special. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful platter- I too often wonder about the orginal owners of all my treasures- do they treasure it as much as I do- How did they acquire it....
It is fun to imagine-
