This is my dining room hutch and as you can see, it is full of memories for me. The dishes are dutch and gifts from Heidi and Jos, my Dutch kids. They gave them to me as gifts for different occasions. Heidi called it Dutch Wedgewood, but there is an official name for them. Heidi can tell you in the comments. The dolls on the top are gifts from Jacomina, one of Heidi's quilt ladies. She made all the outfits the dolls are making and totally made the pin cushion. The wooden shoe is also a gift from her. I treasure each item. the doll on the bottom I bought at a tourist trap town my son-in-law hates, but takes me there. The single plate is also a gift from Heidi and Jos.

How pretty your hutch looks mother! It does bring back many memories. The name of the dishes is 'boerenbont' which translate to 'farmer's colors'. The other single plate really is Wedgwood and was specially designed for a Dutch grocery store to sell at the holidays. It has a Zaanse Schaans house which is the area I took you and Dad too many, many years ago.
Love and hugs ~

Great job Aunt Nancy! You are getting fancy in the tech world. I'll enjoy reading your blog and passing it along to my aunts!
Everything is just beautiful! Your little Dutch girls are pretty, and the dishes are gorgeous. How special your Christmas plate must be.
